Over twenty years later and I still don't know if I love or hate this game. It offers so much yet delivers on so little.

[Anonymous No.4081959]

This fucker. But it also had a surprisingly good soundtrack.

Can't blame you.
You probably saw the glorious PC MASTER DOS RACE version and thought it'd look as good on the console.

I shouldn't have let my friend hype it to me.

I can't remember about the 1st one, but the sequel's soundtrack is by BRIAN MAY Formerly of QUEEN.

Actual gem you got there, no kidding. That's like the good version of Divekick. My wife's son thinks it sucks, but I like it a lot.

I loved this game. I bought it a few months before getting a playstation and it was the first home 3-d fighting game I ever owned. The soundtrack was amazing.

Yea it played like shit because it only had a punch and kick button, but eh it was still fun. I wish the SNES version had come out

[Anonymous No.4083482]

Fortunately it was secondhand, but still - $15 was a lot back in the days of being young.

I used to love this game.
Played the arcade version of it every time we went to Pietro's Pizza. I remember it being pretty fun to play with 2 people

[Anonymous No.4083610]

I don't even remember playing it at all, but I remember owning the physical copy.

How the fuck did I missed that? Was it any good? First one was really bad, Sentry was by far the worst shit ever.

[Anonymous No.4086332]

It was a ton better than the first, but still a clunky, un-fun piece of shit.

[Anonymous No.4086712]

but it's one of Square's best Playstation RPGs, you pleblord. Does have a bit too much menu fuckery and the mechanics are not intuitive, but once figured out it holds up a lot more than any of Square's other 5th gen meme games.

Actually one of the best

[Anonymous No.4087849]

My neighbor friend kept raving about this game, how he played it as his friend's house and it was the best thing ever.

I almost cried after I got this game. I could not believe that it was a goddamn turn-based RPG fighting simulator in 3D. Same day I rushed to local gaming stores and pawn shops and see if they would buy it. Could have traded it for Goldeneye (without box, faded label) or Resident Evil 2.

Ended up keeping it and playing the party mini-games over and over since I liked Mario Party. And turned out my friend only liked the game because it was Pokemon.

To add to the injury, I was debating between this and Majora's Mask. But the worst part of it is I lived in Eastern Europe at the time and the cost of this game was 1/3 of my mom's monthly paycheck. FUCK

[Anonymous No.4087971]

Fuck you, Pikachu! Even the graphics were bad.

>>4087849
Many kids wanted a 3D fighting game, but Pokken came too late.

[Anonymous No.4088250]

>>4087849
Unfortunate, but we loved the shit out of this game as kids

But we were hardcore fans of the series and spent hundreds of hours playing the Gameboy games

[Anonymous No.4088269]

>>4087487
I don't. Xenogears is merely okay all in all. I just think a comparison isn't too out of line what with it being another Square RPG with Mitsuda music and a similar melee attack system. However, unlike Xenogears it doesn't have the interesting themes and tone to back up the mediocre gameplay.

>>4087440
You and many others it would seem. Just couldn't get into it at all. The game just feels... sleepy. Nothing in it feels particularly urgent, epic, or dangerous. The characters and story aren't very exciting. Mitsuda turned in an excellent soundtrack but it too feels kind of relaxed and meandering with all the new age tracks.

[Anonymous No.4088473]

Had to choose between this shit and Symphony of the Night.

Yeah, it's a staple "comfy" game, as it were. Reminds me of a saturday morning cartoon than anything else, particularly in the sense that the game really picks up towards the end in terms of urgency and pace.

I remember some children TV show in Spanish or maybe in Portuguese it had Xuxa as the host I believe that used this video game as one one the games of the shows that kids could participate in, they had to beat the CPU in a fight to win a prize or something like that,at least it looked dope at the time or that is what I recall from it, or maybe it was a fever dream.

Thought playing a 3D flight simulator on TV was fun and was influenced by vg mags scoring it as a 'hit'

My family was poor and my parents owed too much to video rental stores to rent games, but my dad liked military stuff so I had this and the similar M-2 Abrams Battle Tank sim.

At the time the awful framerate didn't bother me (it's very noticeable to me today tho), and the gameplay is pretty fun once you get past that and also de-activate the "cuts in combat" option in the menu -- that takes you out of your view to show you a "cinematic" angle, it's fucking awful because it doesn't even pause the game when it does this either.
