  • Summary: [Xbox Live Arcade; also known as "Fatal Fury Garou: Mark of the Wolves"] The legend grows as this classic descendant of Fatal Fury arrives on Xbox LIVE Arcade. It's been 10 years since the death of Geese Howard. However, Howard's immense martial arts skills have been passed to his son, Rock. The new hero is joined by a cast of 12 new characters plus one returning fighter, Terry Bogard, for this tournament of champions. Representing the world's best, the maulers gather once again to crown the "King of Fighters." Garou: Mark Of The Wolves improves on the Fatal Fury system by adding three new battle formats, creating fights more furious than before. [SNK Playmore] Expand

  1. It's hard not to recommend Garou: Mark of the Wolves to just about anyone with interest in fighting games. It's one of the best and more detailed fighters from the past decade, with deep, tough-to-master characters and an overall balanced fighting system that awards skilled, dedicated players.
  2. The fighting is surprisingly fun and insanely deep - this is not a game to be taken lightly. [Issue#49, p.103]
  3. I was a little disappointed that this was a straight conversion of the original, but the inclusion of an online mode made up for this. Gauro: Mark of the Wolves is one for the hard core fans.
  4. At the end of the day, Garou Mark of Wolves is an interesting walk down memory lane, however it fails to successfully deliver a truly entertaining experience due to the graphics and limited gameplay.

    One of the best 2D fighters ever made. Mark of the Wolves has 14 fighters, 13 of which are entirely new, a great balance of characters, awesome finishers, FANTASTIC graphics (for something that runs on the old Neo Geo hardware), and an incredibly deepfighting system. Dont miss out on one of SNK's greatest fighters EVER. 800 points is a steal for this game. Expand
