Simple Brilliance
I've never played a fighting game quite like this one... rather than have strings of complicated combos such as Tekken, the programmers who made this game mastered a sort of simple, yet elegant battle style... most combos are a mixture of B or A and the joystick, so button mashers can pick up and play fairly decently, but on the same token, people who have experience with the game will almost always come on top if they have good timing... the dodge system is quick responsive and easy to do, and the multiple scenarios such as 1 on 1, tag team, and up to 4 player melee have an extremely high replay value most people would probably associate to super smash bros... amazing, amazing game... personally worth the couple hundred i spent on getting a gamecube and all the necessary peripherals to play it.
