Real Bout Fatal Fury Special (Neo Geo)
Graphics: 9.0 Line Up: 10
Gameplay: 9.75

Gameplay, 9.75 I admire RBS for its rock solid and all around enjoyable gameplay . This game can still compete with the best of them, even today arcade games cant measure up to my favorite Neo title, Real Bout Special rocks.

Character line up- 10! OK before you say that was to easily given a 10, remember I loved this game and still do. Old favorites make a new appearance; such as Tung, Cheng, Lawrence Blood, and the almighty WOLFGANG KRAUSER! (coolest character ever I might add). That is just a few new ones among the regular lineup.

Graphics/Backgrounds- 9.0 Great character animations and the backgrounds are phenomenal. Every stage is very intricate in detail and is beautiful, I just love the opera singer that walks by in KRAUSER'S stage.

Sound- Great sound, and character voices. The emotion of each background is captured even more nicely in the Neo-CD version which loads slow as all hell but has phenomenal music. (The Sega Saturn version loads a lot faster - Kyo.)

Balance- Characters have a well balanced use. Each one was worked on so they would not have a advantage over each other. (Although some believe that the balance needs to be tweaked a bit)

Overall- I love this game and have for a long time. If you've never played it, it's always the same story, Neo games rock like no other. SO GET REAL BOUT SPECIAL, KRAUSER IS WAITING!!!!!
