I roar and you MUST listen. You WILL listen. Mantis commands you to stop chattering/wanking/farting around and slide in front of a Dreamcast console NOW! Those of you who snub the Dreambox because you remain unimpressed and put out by the puny internet connection and fishing sims. Yes, it’s a shame but hold your blinkered vision no longer.
Of course I’ve been playing this for months now, my contact at Namco shipped me a copy in return for a box of Cuban cigars – no problem I’ve plenty more. But the enthusiasm still boils in my blood. Remember how impressed you were with the ol’ Tekken? Remember how slick Soul Edge played? Fast forward to NOW nefherder, and check out the fighting game that’s so cool it doesn’t even need an FMV intro sequence.
I don’t need to give you the details of beat-em-ups - you know all the shit. OK, there’s a bunch of hard, HARD guys n’ dolls who kick each other butts. Par for the course my friend. Onward.
It looks SO GOOD. It blows 60 frames a second. The faces contort in rage! The muscles bulge! The butt cheeks ‘pert’! And those special effects – you’ll see more to impress eyeballs here in thirty seconds than in two and a half hours of Phantom Menacing. The control system is so sweet. Mantis wept hot tears for it – finally a 3D beat-em where you can really move in and around the environment. Going in button-punking means greenies can pull off hot moves at first crack – that’ll satisfy those bozos. But there’s way more to learn for you Masters out there, each characterhas at least one HUNDRED moves, and a cool Soul Charge feature where you can store up a meaty warp-spasm to loose on your puny opponent. It’s all combo-tastic!
Fight invisible opponents. Destroy and collect Art cards to get new threads and see blinding martial arts demos. Fight in quicksand. Get bitten by rats. Wield a giant organic power sword with a blinking eye -without getting hairy palms. Go head to head with a flaming skull monster. INTENSE – Mantis has spoken.
