    Of all the incarnations of the versus series, never before have I had so much fun, said "WHOA!" so many times per match, and been so frustrated as to which characters to pick.

    Fast and furious action, great sound and gameplay -- it's the best 2D fighting game ever made.

    The MOST FUN 2D fighter game of all time.

    Granted, the horrible pseudo-jazz background music is the equivalent of forced aural sodomy, but the rest of the package is so well put together, a little forced aural sodomy sometimes seems a small price to pay.

    The "Soul Calibur" of two-dimensional fighting games.

    Far from being the most perfect fighting game, but it's close to being the most enjoyable one.

    Thankfully, Capcom, the king of coin-op fighters, seems to have few reservations about taking what are essentially change magnets and bringing them home intact for the low, low price of $49.99 (or roughly 100 plays).

It is too frantic to be any fun. The music just doesn't suit a fighting game, and the stages look bland.
