I like this game. In fact I never understood the hate sometimes it gets online. Is it as good as SoulCalibur? No, of course not. But it does look gorgeous and plays good. The graphics are superb and the characters are all fun to play. The gameplay is smooth, much better than most 3D fighting games of its time and the fatalities are fun.
Btw Lord Deimos is still one if the best characters in gaming history. Absolute badass.
