Amazing 2D visuals, and finely tweaked game-play makes for a fighter’s dream. Not only is this a complete game for Hardcore and casual gamers alike, Its worth the $49.99 admission price.

Were used to a level of quality from SNK that has been firm for years. There were 5 stages, a small cast of fighters, no modes, and an online server that was almost unplayable due to its crippling lag.
