Information Bloody Roar 2 is a marginal improvement that still suffers from second-best status due to the exclusion of integral gameplay elements that should never have been messed with.
Bloody Roar first appeared on the
fighting-game map a little more than a year ago, it was a refreshing surprise
by a development team not known for fighters. Eighting/Raizing, whose previous
effort was the critically acclaimed shooter Soukyugurentai, practically came
out of nowhere with this savvy blend of anthropomorphic/lycanthropic
combatants. The fast, furious fighting found in the game made playing other
fighters of the time (Dead or Alive, Street Fighter EX) seem tedious and
sluggish by comparison.
Bloody Roar 2, no one can deny the
wealth of features available at the outset: arcade mode, story mode, training,
survival, time attack, etc. It's all in here.www.hqmpak.Blogspot.Com. There's
also the extra customs menu, where you can select things like the big-head
modes and other stuff also found in the first game. While there isn't anything
as luxurious as a Tekken Force mode or an RPG mode, most gamers usually don't
fret over such details, and won't miss them here either. Graphically, the game
is as gorgeous as the first installment - in fact, it looks almost exactly the
same, with beautiful light-sourcing, speedy 60fps action, and all sorts of
special effects when switching into beast mode.
Gratuitous character swapping
aside, little has changed from the first game, prompting the question,
"why bother?" Why bother indeed when Bloody Roar 2 actually takes a
step back and removes the ease of executing the sidestep! For reasons
unfathomable, somebody actually went ahead and removed the perfectly functional
sidestep, which was the main reason the American version of BR1 was a fairly
balanced fighter. While there is an option in the custom mode that activates
the sidestep (performed by pressing right after executing a block), it's hardly
intuitive and only serves to give the computer an additional edge while you
struggle with the controls. Without this function, Bloody Roar 2 reverts to the
all-out frontal assault that the import version of the first game was. While
the new characters are much better than the ones they replaced, and the number
of available moves per character has increased, the incentive to keep on
playing wanes severely after a few rounds. The mode most gamers will enjoy
playing is the story mode, which gives you a good deal of background material
on each fighter.
In its defense, the voice-overs and
sound effects are very well done, while the overall gameplay is responsive and
fast paced, making fighters like Dead or Alive seem slow and ponderous.
Nevertheless, you'd be foolish to call BR2 a Tekken-killer. It's really
disappointing, because it really could have been. www.hqmpak.Blogspot.Com.
Unfortunately, while surprise developer Eighting/Raizing could have used Bloody
Roar 1 as a blueprint for even greater things with the sequel, it appears as if
the team dropped the ball.
The bottom line is, if you never
picked up the first game, Bloody Roar 2 is still a good game, with a much
better cast than the first one. However, in contrast to the original American
version of BR1, Bloody Roar 2 is a marginal improvement that still suffers from
second-best status due to the exclusion of integral gameplay elements that should
never have been messed with. The game is a major disappointment for such a
promising series
