This game takes the gameplay of Spikeout and adds in a competitive multiplayer twist, turning the game into a sort of hybrid beat em up/arena fighting game.
The spikeout gameplay is completely in tact, but now there are 7 stages where you and up to 3 friends face off in small arenas littered with weapons. If you play single player, you fight against 3 CPU players who gang up on you. Pro tip: to really enjoy the game single player, enter the NAOMI service menu and change the difficulty dip switch to easy. Otherwise it's just frustrating as the enemies will juggle you to death over and over in the later stages.
This game was intended for multiplayer play, but sadly I can't comment on that as I don't have any friends who like beat em ups and fighting games. But single player is still fun, just not nearly as much as the original Spikeout. The new characters are great with cool movesets, wish there was a modding scene to backport them to the original game.
