This was the first game i owned for my PS2 so needless to say, I kept playing it. It has amazing graphics, solid (very cool) controls, good effects and music, and it is a great mulitplayer game. My gripe with The Bouncer is the length. It took me an hour to beat the first time, and every time I played through after that, trying to squeeze a few extra play hours before it go boring (it still hasn't)... it got increasingly frustrating. The bosses get tougher every time through, and if you choose characters in certain combinations, you can get new characters for multiplayer and new story pieces. So regardless of the length and ease of playing it through once, the game has a decent replay value and I recommend it as a first PS2 game.

Not all it's hyped up to be

Bouncer is and old concepted boxed up in newer graphics. If you like side scrolling fighting/action games this one is for you. It's got good graphics, but they can be a little fuzzy at times. The FMVs are great, but that is what the game mostly is. You fight for a little while and then a long FMV comes on, then you fight a little bit more. Usually no more than 4-5 characters at a time. One cool effect is the "Trinity Rush" which allows all three characters to jump one enemy. Each character has their own trinity rush and they're all pretty devestating. Good game to borrow from a friend or rent. Not a must buy.

For a fighting game, really good

What people don't realize is that the Bouncer is really a figthing game (tekken, energiez, etc.) taken to a whole new level. The game starts you out with three guys to choose from and then you get more on the way for the vs section. The best thing about this game is that you can improve the three main characters. Every time you beat somebody in the game you get points and you can improve your hp, defense, attack or learn new skills. Not only does your character improve in the game itself but also in the vs section. The storyline is definitely much better than most fighing games and since you have three charcters to choose from it has a great replay value. Not only that, but if you improved one character then switched when you played again the other characrter still has his new skills and everything. Plus if you beat the game differntly you get secret characters and other battlefields also develop in the vs mode. All in all this is a really cool game. The charcters are pretty cool and the specials aren't that bad (however it will take you a long time to get all of the special moves for the main three charcters.

Thought it would be better...

I bought this game because I had heard it was good. Big mistake... The graphics are excellent. The story line is okay but seems to remind me of some OLD school games (like 3 guys going to look for the mayors' daughter). Alot of the other characters are faster and you don't even turn around in time to fight back. Although if you put together combinations they are pretty cool. Another draw back is you can't continue if you lose you have to go all the way to the beginning and reload. One thing I thought also to be funny is they way they are dressed... Who wears that kind of ensemble. Bottom line for all gamers. PLEASE RENT BEFORE YOU BUY!!!

Did somebody say this was good??

The television advertisments, the magazine advertisements, the pure hype. At one point in time, The Bouncer was thought as the "GAME" to get for the PS2. At one point in time, The Bouncer was a sure "FIVE STAR, 95%" game. At one point in time, Sony and Square actually had an idea. Unfortunately, at this point in time, The Bouncer [has]... Sticky controls, lame, unorginal gameplay (reminisint of the Final Fight days, only Final Fight was better) and freaky camera angles only make this BEAUTIFUL game worse. This game does boast some, if not the best graphics on the Playstation 2 to date, has very intriging characters, but these cons are just TOO MUCH to handle. Every five minutes, the game asks you to save after completing a stage, which gets annoying after the first few times it happens. Not only that, the game was WAY, WAY too short! Quality over quanity is usually the saying in the game industry, but this time, it just doesn't work. The Bouncer should've stayed at home on Square's tables because they just didn't put enough effort, besides the brilliant graphics, into this game. A very dissapointing game from Square, maybe next time.

The Bouncer is a bigger disappoinment than NFL Gameday

This game is terrible. There is only like 1 and a half hours of gameplay, and like 4 hours of cutscenes. The combat system is no good, you can only do about 5 moves with each character (3). The storyline is terrible. A girl gets kidnapped and you have to go rescue her. The only good part about this game is the graphics. Bottomline is don't bother with this game, don't even rent it.

Excellent

The game is one of the best PS2 game so far. SquareSoft has shown us how good they are in the computer animation. The graphic and sound are excellent. The story mode is actual an interactive movie and kind of short and easy. You have to go through the story mode in order to have all the scenes and characters for other modes anyway, so let enjoy the movie and practice the fighting skill. For the fighting part it is not as good as the real `Fighting' game (e.g. Tekken), but it is not bad. I have a feel that the future of Final Fantasy will be following this trend.

Fun, but short

The graphics, controls, characters, sound effects, the whole plot and way of beating the game, and fighting all the people is excellent fun. The 2 stars missing are for me beating it in 3 hours(maybe 3 1/2). You cannot spend 50 bucks on a game and beat it in 3 hours and get you moneys worth of playing. You can keep improving the grade of your 3 guys and get them to and S grade, which adds on playing time, but is very boring. When you go through the second time, it is always the exact same thing, accept for a different path and story for each character.

Overall, not worth [$] bucks to buy(not even close), but worth a [$] rental. I have to end this review by calling it a good game. THATS ALL I GOT TO SAY!!

Those bad reviews were wrong!!!

all those bad reviews that you hav heard about this game... forget them. this game is very fun and quickly becomes addicting. the 3d animation sequences are some of the most amazing ever seen in a console game and graphics for overall gameplay are GREAT! as you progress you learn various new moves according to how you use you points. the only bad thing about this game is that there is no 2-player for story mode. if you like fighting games go and get this game.
