Battle Arena Toshinden

Great old-school fighter.

User Rating: 7.8 | Battle Arena Toshinden PS

Battle Arena Toshinden is an old-school fighter waiting for its own next-gen make over.

[Game Play] - Fairly slow, but fun fighting. The emphasis is on dodging and attacking. Rings are'nt confined in walls, but are open so ring outs acts as a challenge and an advantage. With 8 fighters, two bosses, nice special moves, and being able to dodge left and right, it's all good.

[Graphics] - Although not outstanding, very polished, with no slow down.

[Sound] - Memorable tracks will get you to remember which character belongs to which song easily.

[Overall] - Although with games like Soul Calibur replacing it, a next gen update to the game seems slim at best. It's a good game nonetheless, that fighting enthusiasts will enjoy.
