    Didn't translate as well from the arcades

    Growing up playing this game in the late 90's at the arcades with some mates after school was great fun. Seeing this version as a youngster, and eager one at that thought, I could have the edge over my friends by playing the game at home and then destroying them at the arcades! So I figured I would pick the game up again and test it out along with many other original Playstation games, here's what I found out...

    The game really did suffer back then, the arcade version was smooth with great colours and smooth animations from all the characters, including the bigger Juggernaut, the Playstation version however was plagued by its poor processing power really chopping the games graphics down and the animations in the process.

    The worst however happened when I remembered why I stopped playing the game in the first place, the lack of tag team fighting, that is being able to pick two characters at the selection screen and switch between characters during battles. Gone, completely gone, the most unique selling point of the game taken out. The best they could do was turn the 1 round into 2 out of 3 rounds and have the second character (you still pick two characters) come in for the special attacks.

    This game really was a let down, the faithful would have picked up the Saturn version, much closer to what was played out at the arcades, not having any money at the time I was stuck with this copy. In case anyone was wondering, it didn't improve my game and I ended up just going back to the arcades, when they were still alive.
