Title: Button Mashers delight - little else
Review: This is a great concept for a game, however, it falls miserably short of others in the genre. Winning means being able to bash the buttons fastest, because actual skill doesn't seem to have much effect. I've been playing fighting games since SF2 and consider myself able to hold my own. When I first got this game, I played with my GF for about an hour, with matches evenly split as she would pull off amazing combos without having the first clue what she did. Lame. I see hardly any changes in difficulty when adjusting the settings, the computer basically blocks all attacks until it sees room to use the Massive Overpowered Light Beam Attack. The name changes but the BS remains the same. The boss fight is just ridiculous, he shows no response to being hit by an attack, and has an arsenal of aboout five extremely overpowered special attacks which are used constantly. Save your money for a rental, if you're really, really bored.
