This game is a blast!!! It is an all-out, button-mashing, trap 'em in the corner, poundfest.... the main thing in this game is not to get caught in the onslaught, and if you do, to escape it!!!
GRAPHICS: 9
The intro - well, isn't that great, but it does give you the idea of what is happening in the game - the backgrounds don't move, but they do look good. The character designs are cool for most, some look a bit odd. In general the artwork should not be disappointing. The shadows are actually rainbow-transparencies - the little sparks, etc... really make the game look good.
SOUND: 9
Some may find the girls in the background a bit irritating after a while - I thought it was cool - music is O.K. - nothing major, although I do like one track on it - for the Start screen. The girls all sound great while fighting.
GAMEPLAY: 9.5
This game uses combos and powerbars - it really is a button-basher. You have your special moves, but once you catch a character off guard - it's pound, pound, and pound some more - the game is rather ferocious in that sense. Very fast-paced. The moves are also simple to do - no real talent needed to exicute a move.
OVERALL: 9
As far as a girl fighter goes it's great - good artwork, good play mechanics, it doesn't have the depth of KOF, Fatal Fury, or Streetfighter, but comes close enough to make it a keeper.
