True Classic Arcade Experience

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 3 / 3
Date: June 19, 2005
Author: Amazon User

Mark of the wolves is classic 2d fighitng at its best. Everything about this game is well executed and the fighters are neither overpowered nor underbalanced. The Graphics look a little pixilated, But considering the type of game and the amount of character animations it is easily overlooked.

The way the characters work is wonderfull. You won't be doing 25+ hit combos Like in some of the new 2D fighters. The interaction and balance really takes the forefront here. Learning the timing for jumping, combos, and use of special moves really becomes nessecary or else you will be getting a major pounding from your opponent.

There are a few things to consider though before purchasing.

1) This game is hard. Very Hard. If any of you remember the Arcade version of "Street Fighter 2 Turbo" sucking away your quarters you know what I'm talking about.

2) You realy need to invest in a joystick to play this game. The Dream Cast controler just doesn't cut it here. You really need to use "Super Moves" to be effective against the CPU and you have to pull them off reliably and effectivly. Some of the super moves require lots of directional input, and the regular controller is going to leave you frustrated. (Dream Cast Joysticks are a cheap buy these days at about 10$ USD)

Overall this game is great. Old 2d fighting fans who pumped quarters at the arcades will be getting top notch difficulty and quality. Newer gamers or people beefing up their Dream Cast collections will get an excellent 2 player fighing game to play with friends and family, althouth the single player experience might be a bit too hard.

A game more people should have played...

Fatal Fury: Mark of Wolves - Circa 2001

GOOD:
- Good Balanced 2D fighter, considered a classic to many hardcore 2D fighting fans
- Really nice animations
- Finally SNK gets off it's butt and makes a fighting game with graphics that don't look like they belong in a museum

BAD:
- Graphics might be a little dated for some people
- Dreamcast Controller might not be up to the challenge this game provides

WILL IT FIT YOUR TASTE:
- Not over the top like Guilty Gear X/X2, Marvel Vs Capcom, or Capcom Vs SNK
- Old School type game play and not combo heavy

GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- King of fighters 2000 and up
- Street Fighter: Alpha 3

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- In the game the fighter Rock is the son of Geese the boss from the old Fatal Fury games and Terry's nemesis
- We can only hope SNK will remake this game or make an sequel
