With new modes like Beginner Mode and Tutorial Mode, even fighting game beginners can pull off combos like the pros and dive right into the action. [Aksys Games]… Expand

    An excellent fighter for both fighting amateurs and steeled veterans. The numerous tutorials, challenges, and inclusion of the Beginner's Mode will help newcomers, while the deep fighting system will keep fighting fans busy.

    Continuum Shift provides a seamless fighting game experience by offering excellent Tutorial and Training Modes to help you learn your character before testing their skills in the game's near-flawless online mode.

    The best next-gen 2D fighter I've ever played. The story mode is longer than many games I've played, mostly shooters. However, there are some minor things that need to be mentioned such as the game's difficulty and the fact that if you don't have a fightstick, you might find this game a little hard to control.… Expand

    This game is very good, but I think that the critics are over-rating it just a bit. Its worth buying for sure, but don't expect a fighter worthy of a 9 or 10 score here. There are some issues, bugs and control issues to be specific, that keep this from getting a perfect score. Also deduct a little because despite the many game modes, things get a bit stale after a while. There are many modes, but most are too similar to warrant entirely new modes so why bother? But it's still a fun game that plays well and entertains through most of it.… Expand

    This game is one of the most overrated fighters of all time. I would rather play Street Fighter on my Super NES. The graphics are some of the worst you will ever see in a next gen game. There are much better games or even much better fighters you could be playing.… Expand
