This game is the reason Namco needs to make more games for Dreamcast and one of the reasons to buy a Dreamcast. Namco made a better than arcade conversion in every way.
Graphically it's the best on console. It even does better than VF3 which in my eyes held the title. The sound is great with all new music, but the gameplay and replay value is what makes it so great. Already the best arcade fighter (until Tekken Tag Tournament came along) it's better on console with the mission mode (like edge master mode on Soul Blade). Instead of getting weapons you fight for points that open up all types of new features like still CG images, a new level and more. Getting characters is classic Namco home conversion style. When you beat the game you get the time release characters. All this keeps you coming back for more. Oh yeah and they brought back Cervantes de Leon. My only problem is that the intro is nowhere near as good as the one from Soul Blade. Other than that, it's the best fighter on the market. We can only hope for Tekken Tag Tournament on Dreamcast and for Tekken 4 (most likely on PS2). Get it now on import or on 9/9/99 in the big U.S. But make sure you get this one. {SCORE: 10/10}
