Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO

THE BAD:
Some of the graphics are a bit old school. Nothing real bad.

SUMMARY:
This game is my most favorite Fighting Game since the Street Fighter 2 Series for Super Nintendo, lots of modes, good gameplay, and lots of charecters and different fighting styles! I love this game. If your looking for a fighting game or a great multiplayer game to play with your friends, SNK vs. Capcom 2 is the game for you!

THE BAD:
Several missing characters such as Megaman.

SUMMARY:
The tournament of the new century is blasting off to new hights. Fighters from Street Fighter to Rival Schools. From King of Fighters to Fatal Fury. This game also includes 2 game control settings which you can set the special moves easy or presice. Also, you can set your character's strength with a new free ratio system.

THE BAD:
too few, unrelated and uncolorfull sceneries.
With 44 fighter i was hoping to see at least half of it...

SUMMARY:
I dont care if those review fags think the directional pad is to small, it does the work, and if you dont like the gc-ism (i just hate it) just dont use it.

even the characters that were similar in previous were even more individualised.. good JOB!!!

low point... a kind of history mode would have been wonderful but well, no body is perfect.

THE BAD:
Control needs a little getting used to. The animated sprites look a bit out of place with 3D backgrounds.

SUMMARY:
I admit that I had my doubts about giving Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO a try, since this game received dismal reviews mostly due to the GC controls which aren't designed with 2D fighting games in mind. But I decided to put those fears aside and give this game a try since I'm a huge Capcom and SNK arcade fanatic. The controls did confused me for a minute or two, but I was able to overcome that quite easily since I didn't start to play videogames yesterday. I've been playing them for over 15 years now. So much for that little nuseance. The game itself is a pretty straight forward experience with a basic intro that leads up to the game options screen where you can choose between arcade mode, survival mode, training mode, color edit mode(requires memory card) and the traditional Versus mode. The loading time is less than what you saw on other consoles. I was a bit dissapointed with the sprites employed to represent the fighters. Capcom apparently decided to use the same old sprites from previous games and you barely notice any updates (a big crime when you see popular babes like Cammy or Morrigan looking like crap...SIGH! Chun-Li, M. Bison and Mai reportedly did had some updates in their design, though). That fact is more obvious when you see the sprites jumping around in semi-3D environments. That aside, the animations are decent and sometimes funny like the one where Mai dresses up like Chun-Li or the reaction of Maki when she is about to fight Todo. The "special-effects" do look impressive. And by that I mean when you perform a special attack like Hadokens or the like. I basically got this game to perform Hadokens so that's a big plus for me that they look so friggin' awesome. Yep, I did buy this game despite the drawbacks and the fact that the game is far from perfect. I recommend you do the same if you can find it for a cheap price like I did. I hope that Capcom and SNK may one day produced a superior version of the series that takes advantage of what the new consoles have to offer. Meanwhile, we have Capcom vs. SNK 2: (Extreme Offensive)....
