Tobal 2
Opening statements
Well, this is a fine addition to the Tobal series. This
one makes the original Tobal look like it was made in the
stone age. The fluid movement and great graphics are sure
to catch your eye. Besides this point, we have to admit
that the game is fun. The reviews say it all, so find out
what we have to say......
Ash's comments
This is definitely a unique fighting game, as well
as
one of my favorites. This game has what most 3-D fighters
lack, 3-Dness. With the ability to walk around anywhere in
the arena, similar to the first, it makes this title very
innovative. The graphics as well as movement quality
surpass Tekken's easily. It is so good you can't even see
the polygons! Some people might not like the lack of combos
though, although you can get a few 8-10 hit juggle combos,
as well as a few 5 hit normal ones. Another innovative
feature of this game is it's quest mode, adding what square
does best, RPG elements and gameplay. You
can talk to
characters and everything you would find in an RPG! Also,
if you find an item then you can play as any one of the
enemies that you fought, giving you almost 200 characters.
Like most games, this one isn't perfect though. It's normal
fighting does get a bit repetitive after a while, but the
quest mode will keep you busy for a while. This is a top
of
the line fighting game. So if you own an import system,
buy
this.

I have to be honest. This was a really fun game.
The
first thing that attracts you to this game was the graphics
and the smooth movement. I have to say that the ability to
move all around the fighting area was a nice feature.
Another very good thing about this game is the multiple
characters that you can receive in the game by completing
the quest mode. I was just a little disappointed with the
lack of combos, but this is a minor
setback to a game that
is awesome. I find it to be just a little less fun than
Street Fighter EX, but that is because I am a Street
Fighter Veteran. Any 3D fighter fan would have to admit
that this is a really good game. If you have an import
system then you should really buy this game. For the most
part, the Japanese language doesn't really get in the way.
You can easily understand what is going on, although you
don't get to enjoy all the benefits of quest mode because a
lot of the people you talk to of course are all speaking
Japanese. This is still a reasonable sacrifice to play
Tobal 2. If you've already played the latest addition
to
the Street Fighter series, then buy this game.

When my friend Ash told me that he got this game,
I
thought he was
stupid to sacrifice half his games to get it. But, after I
played it, I was
able to understand why. Tobal 2 is just a flat out great
fighting game. It
has everything that you could want in a fighting game, an
advanced combo
system, hidden characters, great endings, and terriffic
graphics. If you
think that was enough, it even goes over the top and adds a
story mode to
the game. The enemies that you you defeat in quest mode can
even be used
in tournament mode. The pusher about this game is that it
is actually a
3-D fighter. You have almost complete freedom of movement
in the ring. A lot
of other "3-D Fighters" lack this. And if you want to
finish your opponent
off in style, you can do massive combos that end in a
tremendous air juggle
that almost knocks the opponent off the screen. If you own
an import-capable
system, get this game. I'm not really into fighting games,
but I really
enjoy this game. It's just a shame that it is not out in
the U.S.
