excluding the story mode, its a pretty great game! quick to learn it too! the only reason i still want to keep my wii!
LIES! the story is filler that isnt really that great, and playing it can get really frustrating! the bots wont recieve recoil from your attacks on some of the levels, and all you can do is spam one move until you win! eliminating skill and replacing it with timing and patience. THIS ISNT FISHING! ITS A 3D FIGHTER!
and boy is it a great one! 35 characters ^_^' not bad! combos aren't a pain in the neck to do and are easy to adjust to! and no items to unbalance the gameplay! thank god! and a nice stage transition! and the damage feels evenly scaled to a real fist fight! without all the special stuff and the high jumping of course, or logging people T_T and it feels so good when you make melee contact to your opponent.... it will make them flinch! except in the story mode.
and it's got amazing multiplayer! give it a shot with your buddies in 2P stuff like PvP and PvB stuff! and unlock other nice things like two player survival!
and the singleplayer will last it's enjoyment until you unlock everything! which takes a while, since theres so much to unlock!
the character selection roster may get on your nerves though, the controls there are a little bit odd. but the characters are great! each with over 2 easy-to-use special attacks!
the game has a perfectly balanced combat system! you'll enjoy it for sure!
and yeah, sakura will lie to you about the menu screens!
