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

GameSpot

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

Gaming Age

It's a piece of 2D history, and one that no DC owning fighting fan should be without.

Core Magazine

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

Hot Games

Far from an awful game due to its relative depth and difficulty. It just doesn’t do anything we haven’t seen before.

Electronic Gaming Monthly

An excellent compromise between old-school SNK fighters and faster-paced, more fantastic Capcom titles on the DC today. [Oct 2001, p.148]
