One of the greatest fighting games ever made. Period. Lot of people don't know about it, but you can't really blame them can you? Capcom used to pump and dump their IPs and unfortunately, Rival Schools is a victim of that. From the highly energetic music to the vibrant cast of playable characters. From Story mode to a dating sim, the game comes with tons of content in it. Rival Schools: United by Fate came in 2 discs and that should tell you enough about how much playable content there is to this game. And its fun, fluid gameplay. Really easy to get into. You choose 2 characters and you can switch between either of them at the change of a round. The characters also have special abilities (that are really easy to execute) which are visually really well made. And the music! Oh the music. Just check the OST out on Youtube. I personally own the CD. It's that good! Only thing I'd say as a negative, is that the game doesn't really give you a memorable villain. No Rugal, no Shao Kahn, no Akuma, no Heihachi. There's just a dude with a sword and an old man who is a mole...man... Iconic fighting game villains weren't iconic because of their motivations or personalities.. It's the overall visual design and the movesets. In that aspect, it's safe to say that this game was lacking.
