Definitely a downgrade from 4... You can tell that this game was made at the very tail end of the neo geo's lifespan with a bit of a skeleton crew in charge of development because this game does NOT look nearly as polished as the neo geo games before it. So add that with the classic SNK difficulty which isn't fun plus the fact this is samsho which I suck at and you get a game that's not something I'd really wanna go back to. Might be more fun in multiplayer?
