PS2
--
Neo Geo Battle Coliseum -- $8. And yeah, it's just as "kind of odd and not as good as KOFXI" as I'd always heard... but it was a good price, and it's a game I've been meaning to get sometime pretty much as long as I've owned a PS2, so I got it. The game system is weird, though. So it's 2-on-2, but if EITHER of your characters goes down you lose, so you have to swap out regularly. Your characters recover some health when they're the one not being used. It's kind of interesting, but I can already see it being very frustrating when someone suddenly takes a lot of damage and gets knocked out but your other person had some health left but you didn't manage to or have time to switch... and that is why any of the KOF systems are better than this, I think. Still, I like SNK fighting games, so it's worth having. It is interesting, anyway, I'll have to play it some more... but for more serious fighting game play, I'll definitely stick to stuff like KOF.
