The game's greatest flaw is in its gameplay. This works on a small screen with two players engaged in combat but, it does not transfer well to the new format. Graphically the movements of the character a mannequin-like and rigid. This is not as much of an existing flaw with the series as it is a failure to innovate on the part of developers. The graphics and controls may have some retro nostalgia for existing fans but, they will not do much to impress people not familiar with the franchise.


2D in a 3D WorldĢD graphics are not inherently bad but, for a series that has dealt with 2D fighting mechanics masterfully for years this title drops the ball. The premise is great and gives players a more in-depth look into a beloved character but, the execution is so poor that the game's technical flaws create a dark shadow that obscures from view any of the merits that would otherwise be found in its concept. Taking a wildly popular set of gameplay mechanics and an icon character from a popular series could have been a great thing but, in this title, it just is not.
