It deserves the praise it gets, even though I’m no good at fighting games. Obviously future games do it better, but an important stepping stone nonetheless.
Apparently this game is a you love it or you hate it kinda deal but personally I love the game, though the fun factor kinda relies on who you’re up against and who you’re teamed with like some other games
Not bad for a first outing, then again most games in the series are great (except snapped, that one I repress). Other games have more variety and such but not taking into account the hardware.
