   After reading plenty of reviews on this game, which I own myself, I have theorized that sometimes some editors shouldn't even try to review games that they do not comprehend or that they have just played for a few times and then label the game as being "so-so". I know what this game has to offer. Not only that I am a diehard fighting gamer and I have closely followed the Bloody Roar series since its inception into the fighting game genre. And I find it rather shameful that critics are incapable of doing justice to a game after playing it a few moments or so. Button mashing? I have played this game for quite a while and believe me button mashers have nothing against a true expert who makes use of Guard Attack, Narrow Escape and Shadow Walking leaving button mashers whiffing by while smacking them senseless... And in any case combos here work diffrently. Want to make a real long combo? Well you'll definetly have to practice and master the game because juggle combos are the only way to get surehit combos... Which means button mashers can also be easily blocked midway through their so called combos... Why is this? Simple BRPF system allows quick recovery and other assorted nuances to reward the apprehensive master. Believe me I have had many a friends who are only skilled at button mashing and whereas they might get some fighting in they ultimatelt lose to superior tactical use of Narrow Escaping, Guard Attacking, Cancel Guard, Guard Breaks and all the other stuff out there. Don't trust professional critics reviews. It's just a bunch of baloney. Play the game yourself and you'll see what I mean.… Expand

   It's 2007 and I've had this came since it came out on the gamecube. An awesome game..very underrated. It's still my favourite fighting game. I have soul calibur II as well but I personally reckon bloody roar is so much more fun. The gameplay is much more arcade like and there is more satisfaction from connecting moves and hits in this game than in soul calibur II because they're fast, furious and just feel really insanely strong. The character and their moves feel REALLY strong in comparison to soul calibur II which basically involves weapons most of the time. Weapons don't have that same feeling of power that you get from connecting punches and kicks in crazy combos. Beast mode makes the game even more intense because it makes you feel absolutely monster strong. I also like the stages where things smash up and floors in the levels break away to another level. Things like that make the game feel much more arcade like. The music isn't bad...it has that kind of retro 90's rock sound to it. As 'Diehard Critic' stated, this game is by no means a shallow button mashing game. There is a lot of skill involved in connecting combos and dodging your opponents. If anything, Soul Calibur II is EASILY more of a button mashing game. The only complaint I have of Bloody Roar is the box art cover (lol). Out of all people they had to have Jenny (the bat) on the cover. They could have chosen someone cooler or hotter but had to choose her...she looks like a witch. Another fighting game on the Gamecube which doesn't compare to Bloody Roar is Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance. I bought it and sold it cause it was pretty crap. Horrible graphics and character movement/animation and limited (awful) moves. Overall, I honestly and personally still believe that Bloody Roar is the best fighter on the Gamecube. Hope they make a sequel for the Wii.… Expand
