I know exactly what you mean Coolbeans69, The first one like practically changed my life forever since it was embarrassingly to say the first every "RPG" type game I ever played and it was what got me interested in other RPG's, even final fantasy. This review is dead- on like other games radar reviews but It isnt a whole disappointment, I have the game and atleast the nostalgia keeps me going lol
"And what if wayward kids with 'fags' stuck to their lips, too cool for school but not for a quick flutter on the gee-gees, turned them into a Japanese game Goliath?"
This is truly bullshit. Not that its only for PS2 but because it plays like budokai! Why do they go backwards from Tenkaichi which were were really great games and then make something like this? I think they are just trying to gain a few extra bucks.
