"All I can say is: "WOW, how did they fit it all on one little cartrige?""

What a perfect fighting game!

This fighter has everything your could ask for, from mini-games to tag-teaming, and tons of characters.

First off, let me say that it fully utilizes the Neo Geo Colors abilities, having vibrant backgrounds, incrediblely animated characters, and amazing attack effects, as well as a wonderful, catchy music score! I even listed to the music by itself it was so good!

There are plently characters, and plenty on secret ones to seek out! You'll have to see who they are for yourself...

The mini-games are very cool! I just love the dancing one, reminisient of Dance Dance Revoultion, where you input arrow and button commads on time to the beat of a tune. The character Felicia dances beside the scrolling arrows too! There are also survial games, targets, timed duke-outs, and for all this you gain points to buy powerful moves for the characters of your choice! What great reply value! Not only this, but for the mini games you must win all 7 gold metals (It's an olmpics) to be the champion. STILL ALSO (!) you can chat with the olmpic managers, who tell you jokes, ask you questions (Very amusing mind you!) and share secrets to the mini-games.

Now onto the real fighting! There are three kinds of fighting styles, and three modes of the story 'tourny' mode. You pick a character(s) and go through a story line, which changes from character to character, to get to the end. Very fun, and with the 7 settings of difficulty, you can sharpen your skills.

The grafics are great, with ultra-smooth character animations, and a very inovative system of input commands, which can be very challenging at first, but then they get to be easier. This game is a joy to use with the Neo Geo's joystick. {Get it? Ha ha? :) }

I love this game very much, and I sometimes chose to play it over my Dreamcast when I'm at home! Very wonderful, and a must buy for Neo Geo owners! No question, you'll love it if you love fighting games, or mini-games golore!
