    The last 2D fighting game on the Dreamcast shined brilliantly like a newly polished blade.

    Thanks to its solid gameplay and stylized look, it holds up well enough, even three years after its debut on the NeoGeo.

    Obviously dated, lacking the elaborate stories and special modes of many current fighting games. Still, the gameplay covers up the inadequacies in most respects.

    While the game seems to have lost some of its luster since coming out 3 years ago (cripe...I feel old...), it's still a solid fighting game.
