    The game doesn’t take advantage of the Nintendo DS hardware’s unique capabilities at all. It lacks presentable visuals and a decent combat engine as well.

    The unfortunates who decide to rent or buy this game will be stuck with nothing more than a filthy, horribly buggy port of an already middling game.

    Easily one of the worst Nintendo DS games released yet. It's extraordinarily hard to see any good in all this bad, and honestly I can't imagine any DS owner working their way through the progression because they're enjoying the clumsy, clunky, chunky, buggy, and most likely unfinished gameplay.

    I am sure there are some Gameboy Advance fighters out there that would earn a higher rating when compared side-by-side with this one. As it stands, this game is exactly what its title states, and nothing more: Imperfect.

    The game literally falls apart on gameplay. A flurry of punches, kicks, and concentrated moves are lost within the game's miserable reaction time and balance.

    This game was entertaining and did not deserve the 3.1 that gamespot gave it. Amazing graphics, fluid character movements and suh-weet This game was entertaining and did not deserve the 3.1 that gamespot gave it. Amazing graphics, fluid character movements and suh-weet finishers made this game fun. I docked a mark because of some crappy grunting on venom, magneto, elektra, and the wink, and the weird drawing of wolverine, but for the most part, this game is a must-buy.… Expand

    Rise of the Imperfect is a terrible fighting game. It features loose controls, so much so that the characters sometimes feel like they areRise of the Imperfect is a terrible fighting game. It features loose controls, so much so that the characters sometimes feel like they are moving wherever they want. The story and game modes are useless, though the game seems intent on making you think otherwise. It's boring, and the stages are designed poorly. Despite this, there is a decent selection of available characters.… Expand
