Believe me: there are worst game than Bikini Karate Babes - especially ones concerning all-female-fighting. The first good thing about this game is that it doesn’t take itself seriously and it shows how much effort Creative Edge put in it even though they could have done a simplistic product with a lot of boob flashes, partial nudity and sensuality. Instead, they did a rather good product with a some boob flashes, partial nudity and sensuality! The graphics are nice, the zoom works fine, the animations are smooth and some of the special moves’ effects are quite good. Still, the sprites are not very refined, the backgrounds are very nice but with no animation – except some rare cases – so even the first Mortal Kombat was nearly better. I really enjoyed the soundtrack though the digitized vocals are quite annoying sometimes. The controls are quite responsive, though you’ll have to spent some minutes to understand how to work them out, especially to pull out the special moves. To avoid this problem, take a look to the FAQ: it will help you a lot! The value of this game is the reason why I’m rating this game with a fair score: you’ll unlock a lot of game modes, hidden characters and extras as you beat the game over and over again – and they are all worth of. The irony within the whole game is very funny: the cut scenes for the throwing moves are clearly a joke about 3D Fighting throws. The game runs smoothly on my PC and doesn’t take so much time to load the matches, except when Kupala uses her Tag-In-Aphrodyte. I really had a good time playing with this game, though I think that a good effort doesn’t make a good game. Since they sold quite a lot with this game, I hope that Creative Edge will maintain the same effort and improve the game’s mechanics.
