This game is absolutely hilarious.
Whenever I think of ragdoll physics The Bouncer is always the first game that comes to my mind, because god is it stupid in this game. Bodies fly everwhere and constantly interrupt action elsewhere along with potentially colliding with other ragdolling hitboxes resulting in extended combos and massive damage. Then you got the dumb story mode with voice actors chewing the scenary constantly with Mugetsu and Dauragon taking the cake.
The Multiplayer is the high point though, along with the three player characters you normally take through the story mode you also get access to playing as the boss characters. That's right baby, FOUR DAURAGONS. And all of them are busted as shit with none of their moves nerfed from when the CPU used them. MP was always fun until everyone figured out how stupid the two coat Dauragons' backflip attack was and just spammed it in neutral, then the game was over.
The pressure-sensitive buttons used to do different attacks takes a lot of getting used to, it's not great and I hope your PS2 controller is in decent condition when playing this game.
This game's worst components are probably the scaling on the enemies/bosses for story mode. If you attempt to spread out your usage of the three main characters you'll quickly find the boss characters spiraling out of control with their stat gains without any of your characters being able to compete. It's an absolute must to just stick with one character through a playthrough(or not spend XP at all on moves/stats, but that's lame) to save yourself a massive headache later when you try to fight the three phase Dauragon that begins appearing at the third playthrough. I found that out the hard way.
The other bad one at least during a fresh playthrough is the escort mission where you need to lead your girl buddy to the end without her getting double axe handle smashed by a robot.
This game ain't amazing by any stretch of the imagination, but in terms of entertaining me the player it does a good job.
