User Rating: 8 | Bloody Roar 2: Bringer of the New Age (White Label) PS
Bloody Roar 2 is sequel to a highly underrated fighting series. Bloody Roar 2 is a great fighter for the PS1 that hardly anyone played. You will have fun playing this with your friends or even playing it alone. If you are interested keep on reading.

Bloody Roar's story is pretty good. You play as a bunch of Zoanthropes. Zoanthropes are a species of humans that have the ability to turn into animals. These Zoanthropes are resented by humanity but during this time they are about to be accepted but an evil force is ruining this. The Zoanthrope Liberation Front is a company that claims to be helping Zoanthropes but is really ruining the chance for peace. Now you must play as one of many Zoanthropes and destroy this Liberation Front to make peace between Zoanthropes and humanity. Overall the story is good for a fighter.

The characters are great in this game. You have a total of eleven playable characters. I know that seems like a very small number of characters comparing to other fighters, but each character has so much depth in there move set and the ability to turn into there animal form almost creates a whole new character. Also each character has a great personality and each with a different animal to turn into. You will be able to turn into a wolf, insect, chameleon, bat, and many more animals. Overall the characters in this game provide much depth that will keep hardcore players playing for a long time.

The gameplay is the part that makes this game shine. The gameplay provides so much depth and replayability. The fighting is easy enough for beginners to have fun and hard enough to provide depth for any hardcore fighter. The depth of being able to turn in your animal form is awesome. You can be in a combo of your human form but mid combo you will be able to switch to your animal to continue the combo. The animal form is awesome. You have a bar that you must fill up to be able to switch to your animal form. The animal form increases your power and also the amount of combos you can do. You also can do special moves that you couldn't do in your human form. This animal form has a limit the bar will go down the more you get your butt whooped. Once it goes down you revert to your human form. This provides much depth in your fighting.

There are also loads of modes to look forward too in Bloody Roar. There's your normal arcade mode and Vs mode. There is also survival mode which you must survive as long you can with one character over a range of many battles. There's also the story mode. This you will play as one of the eleven characters and you will learn the stories of these characters while battling in many fights. These stories are great and you will play till the very end. There's also a training mode where you can learn how to fight and practice the characters moves. Overall the gameplay in Bloody Roar 2 is awesome.

The graphics in this game are okay. The character models look great and almost everything else. The environments are what makes this game look bad. They are so plain and boring. All there is a backround and 4 fences that keep the characters within the stage. They are just horrible looking I can that this game is 60 frames per second but they could have made it a little better. The story cutscenes are anime inspired which are a nice touch. Overall the graphics are okay but this shouldn't affect your choice to buy this game.

The sound is good. The fighting music will have you humming along with it. Its just that good. Also all the animal sounds and all the kicking and punching sounds like real life. Also the voice acting although there is hardly any voice acting at all it still a highly well done. Overall the sound is awesome.

The value is also awesome. If you play this game with any of your friends or family you will have a great time. You will never get off the game its just that much fun with a friend. If you play alone well I will still recommend getting this game it provides so much depth with the characters. Overall the value is awesome.

Overall Bloody Roar 2 is a great game. If you need a great fighter I highly recommend getting this game you will have loads of fun. I give Bloody Roar 2 a 8 out of 10. Now go out and get this great underrated fighter.
