WOW!!!! Higher than 640X480 resolution, running at a mind boggling
60 fps = easily the most impressive home console game of all time. The
character movement is FREAKING AMAZING, every bit as impressive as found
in the high-end model 2 arcade game. This easily surpasses anything found
on the Saturn and Playstation, in fact, with the exception of the Arcade
VF2, it surpasses everything found in the arcades. It is easily more impressive
than Namco's latest arcade game Tekken 2. The only major difference from
the Saturn version and the arcade version is the backgrounds. The backgrounds
are done in parallax and not true 3-D like the arcade version and the PS
Toshinden. With that said, I still find the backgrounds to be far
superior to Toshinden's backgrounds. There is just so much more to them,
they are extremely detailed and are still extremely beautiful to look at.
Another problem, albeit small, is the voices, which are a bit muffled,
but in no way hurt the game. In fact if you play it through a good stereo
system, you'll barely notice it. And the music is crystal clear, and offers
you an option of the original arcade music or a remixed version (I prefer
the remixed, but both are excellent). The gameplay found in VF2 is miles
beyond what is found in the original VF. The characters respond much better
to your button presses and the action is over twice as intense. The jumps
are still "floaty", but much improved. This game offers a ton
of replay value considering it could take years to master each and every
character, and is quite frankly, the best fighting game of all time. Fact
- the Saturn CAN do anything the Playstation can do, may be even better.
Overall: 9/10
