But it’s a start, and it’s a clear sign that Namco is listening to critical feedback. Of course, giving virtual women a meager shred of dignity/clothing does not a good game make. The gears are turning, but does the soul still burn? Even so, they’re probably not exposing their softest, most supple tissue to the blades, boots, and magic powers of their opponents.

Terrible netcode, 100% combos, and a paltry Story Mode. Then, the practical removal of finishing moves. The inclusion of instant-kill finishing moves. So I won’t try.Īmong its many failings, we saw the introduction of fucking Jedi. ![]() It was so bad on so many levels, it’s hard to list things the game did right.
