THE GOOD:Flashy graphics, Smooth Gameplay, Lots of Characters
THE BAD:
The Music!!!, Replay Value a little low, Skill Level Low
SUMMARY:
I never really was that into fighting games until recently so this review may help someone out thinking of buying this game.
I bought this game looking for a new fighter that I could sink some hours into and have some tournament battles with friends. My initial reaction when I popped this game in was it seemed pretty cool, then I watched the lame intro while I read the move lists in the manual.
When I first started playing the game I thought the skill level was way to low. Any moron could beat this game. Any moron can win here. That can be good and bad. Good if you want an even matchup with all yur friends, or bad if you want a game that requires skill and brainpower.
Keep in mind I played this game after sinking some decent time into Capcom vs SNK Pro. A great game I might add. C vs SNK Pro requires skill. This game requires very little.
But enough bashing this game because it does have some strong points. The best thing in this game is prolly the 50+ roster. The game actually gets some replay when you have to earn points to buy Characters, new costumes, and Art in the built in shop. Thats whats keeping me busy anyway.
Another strong point of this game is the crisp graphics and the easy flow of the game. Good luck playing the comp on hard with turbo on. It can get frustrating. I get off track dont I?
Well anyway, the bottomline I guess is should you buy this game or not? If your new to fighters pick it up and even if yur an avid fighter fanatic pick this game up. The $40 price tag isnt bad, but if you can buy it used that'd be even better. If this game was $50 bucks I would rent it or play it at the arcade. So everyone give this game a shot.
Gambit Game...out.
