3 Count Bout ~ Wrestling
Graphics 8 - The graphics in this game are very good. The
characters are big and vibrant, although choppy at times, they maintain
a good look throughout the game. The characters are at least twice as big
as any other fighting game character to date, which is a big advantage
this game has over most. One gripe i have about this games graphics is
the excessive re-use of bodies. although most companies frequently pull
this off, it is not a common sight in an SNK game. i think about 4 characters
use the same body but have different heads. overall the graphics in this
game are very good, but at some points lack something.
Sound/Music 9 - The music in this game is pretty good,
my only problem with it is the fact that it sounds so much like the super
spy's music. that isn't that bad but the resemblance kind of gets on my
nerves. the sound on the other hand is this games saviour. The punches
and kicks connecting sound so good. i remember when i first played this
game at an old pizza pub, my jaw dropped at the amazing sound. these days
it isn't as amazing, but it is still very good.
Control/Gameplay 6 - Other reviews you may read say this
game has horrible control but i didn't seem to have all that much problem
with it. If you like button mashing (which me and my friend do.. lol) than
this game is a field day. If you don't like button mashing this is not
your game. Occasionally the control got a little annoying but it wasn't
too bad, just bad enought to bring the rating down a little.
Overall 7.6 - This game is very good, with such classic
characters as Terry Rogers (my favorite) and Blubber Man (eddies favorite)
how can one go wrong playing it? Sure its control suffers a little and
its graphics are a bit choppy, but it is a very fun game to play with friends.
Button mashers heaven :) the sound is very good and still holds up today.
So if you can find this game at a reasonable price i would definitely get
it.
