NGP - Card Clash Fighters (Jap & US Versions)
Out from the back burner of the SNK vs. Capcom game comes CCF. This was one of the coolest game I've had for my NGP. Let me start by saying that I'm not much of a card player and try to stay away from those types of games.

Here's a small overview of the game in a nutshell. There are two company version, SNK or Capcom. Which ever one you pick will determine your special and starter pack of cards. Your mission is to collect all the cards from the SNK and Capcom line up and find others to battle, in other to be the best and win the championship. There are 300 cards in the current collection, sound a bit like pokemon, huh. ^_^

Characters - You'll get a choice of a 2 girls or a 2 boys to pick from for your character. You'll find low level card players and boss level card players along your quest. All the players have some great personality, which I find SNK has out done themselves.

Gameplay - Much like really card games you'll be given a low ranking started deck and one special card. You'll have to battle others to win more cards or trade in extras for new higher level cards. You can also battle friends with the link cable, which will be key to getting all 300 cards.
The cards are much like the characters in their games and all have powers and special abilities that you can use to fight. You're also given "action" cards which act like items to help out you're characters in battle.
The commands are easy, even a non-card gamer can understand. You'll find this game will keep you more then busy even after you've won the first 100 cards.

Graphics our outstanding and if you've always wanted to see you're favorite character in chib mode, then you'll love the game. SNK is know for there outstanding work on details and this game doesn't lack behind, the maps and areas of play are awesome. Which leaves a big hole in the music, not that you'll notice while playing out your strategies.

My overall view of this game is, get it! If you're like me and have a long ride into to work or school then this game will make the time fly. It will also get you thinking and give you're brain a workout , while keeping you hooked on all your favorite SNK and Capcom characters.
