While it's clear from the get-go that Mace is far from being a Mortal Kombat/3D fighter contender, I thought the game held on its own fairly well thanks to the impressive graphics (port of an arcade game) and interesting cast of fighters featuring unique stages with dynamic features.

Gameplay and performance make or break fighting games and Mace was average at best on these categories. CPU difficulty was unfair and added frustration to each playthrough the further you got on Arcade mode.
