FIGHTING VIPERS

Graphics 9.5/10
Honestly, Fighting Vipers has good graphics. They may be a little rough, but the light-sourcing and goraud shading of the characters make it a cool game. Although the arcade was much clearer, Fighting Vipers still is a good arcade translation and all. The most fun part of the game is doing the charge-ups, breaking the armor and sending people off buildings. Fighting Vipers is a really cool fighting game. Unlike other polygonal fighting games, Fighting Vipers is the only game that I've seen so far that offers real 3D rotation.

Playability 9.5/10
Combos and player control are some of the finer points in Fighting Vipers. Control of the players seems better and more responsive than Virtua Fighter 2 and other Playstation fighting games that I've played so far. Turning on the hyper mode, allows players to side-step and surprise the enemy from any direction. Fighting with a friend makes this game a lot better. Smashing guitars, and skateboards make it fun and exciting.

Sound 8.5/10
Voice recording is so low that even the BGM drowns out the voices at times. The only positive aspect about the sounds of Fighting Vipers is the funky music. The music in Fighting Vipers is so great and so cool, you'll forget that you're playing a game at all!

Hardness 8.5/10
This game is pretty hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy.

Lastability 8.9/10
Hidden characters, perfecting combos and all, keep you coming back for more.

Overall Rating: 9.2/10
You want a game to beat the crap off Tekken 2? Then get Fighting Vipers. The action is faster, the moves and combos are better and over-all it's more fun. Especially when you get characters such as Kuma-chan and Pepsi Man! Fighting Vipers, in my opinion, is the best fighting game on the market for any system, whether it may be the Saturn, N64, Playstation or 3D0.
