Critical Blow

3D fight festival deserving of greater attention due to its simple and effective control method utilising only two attack buttons, but crafting plenty of special moves to increase the depth. Slick visually with smooth character animation and full on backgrounds. Very well presented too with intriguing cut scenes setting the story in cinema mode. Of note is the card mode where players receive a card on defeating an opponent depending on how strong their adversary was. This card can then be gambled by having a rematch Ewith the player keeping the same energy and the opponent back to full strength. The player can also power up with the right move cards. Recommended.
