    Surprisingly solid and fun.

    You get amazing graphics, good gaming music, and some arcade style gameplay that is fun for the casual gamer, but might leave feature-loving gamers looking for more.

    What prevents the game from getting an above average score are a small collection of annoying gameplay flaws, some persistent camera angle problems, and a lack of longevity.

    Shame on Capcom for giving it's fighting games a bad track record by putting out this piece of crap!
  5. Core Magazine

    Presentation, however, cannot makeup for poor gameplay, something that Heavy Metal has in abundance.
  6. Game Revolution

    Sort of like a dumbed-down "Powerstone," but with fewer weapons. Honestly, this game does nothing new at all. And what it does do, we've seen done better in games.

    Foremost among these flaws is the camera, which is so poor that it almost defies imagination. [Dec 2001, p.113]

    Really really fun game! Graphics are amazing, the gameplay beats any other fighting game on dreamcast. Definately worth the $10.
