If you select tournament mode, you are forced to watch all of the computer fought matches between your own match. This is lame. I don't play games to watch the computer play.
I play them to play myself. Anyway, I could not figure out a way to simulate the computer matches so I found myself not patient enough to watch the other fights. A note though, the manual made no mention of simulating the matches and I tried everything I could think of to no avail.
This does not mean that there is no way to do it but I sure could not find it. The game has a unique feature that is pretty neat. You can customize and train fighters. What this means is that each player has eight different categories.
These categories include learning level, counter punch, guard, first strike, dodge, stamina, damage, swing and combination. You can set your learning level to each of these categories to light, medium or heavy. To keep things fair, if you give every category a heavy learning ability, it actual hurts your fighter so he won't learn anything. The idea is to only go heavy on the areas you find important, medium of the less important and light on the not important. This lets you build your fighter into everything you want.
My only other complaint about the game, and it is a moderately sized one, is the slow reaction times to the button pushes. At times, it feels like the game is moving in slow motion. You push the punch button and wait. In a sport like this, speed is an important aspect and the lag time really affects the feeling of the fighter's speed. It is difficult to impossible to get off a good flurry of attacks because of the delayed response. I think this really hurt the overall fun of the game although, after a while, I did adjust to it.
The thing is, I shouldn't have to adjust to the game, the game should adjust to me. This is a big reason for the lower score. One more little pestering problem. When you are getting beat on by the opponent and try to back up, if your character is at the edge of the screen, the game won't let you move back. This only happens for a few seconds but that is too long. Let me just say that the roving camera work in this game is awesome. I have not seen cameras that accurately follow fighters and keep the game player in the best viewpoint in a long time.
The arenas are also really cool and the crowd is not mere blurry color splotches but look like actual people. The fighting arena is lined with photographers and gives an incredible feeling of realism. The sequel to THQ's K The Arena Fighters, Revenge attacks gamers with enhanced graphics, additional moves, and more fighters than the original, while keeping the same head-bashing physics and wicked knockdowns that kick-boxing fans demand.
The qameplay is fast, as feet and fists swing wildly around the ring; in this unfinished version, however, Revenge had the same serious flaw that limited the original game--it was too easy. If this problem is fixed, K-1 Revenge could be the knockout-good-time that fans of the genre have been waiting for. There aren't many fighting games that try to present a realistic fighting experience like the original K-1 Fighting Illusion did.
You could KO opponents with a single blow and even target specific areas of the body. The main complaint was that the play mechanics were a bit sketchy and the available number of attacks to choose from were low. With this sequel, many of those problem areas are being addressed. K-1 Revenge packs in almost double the amount of fighters featured in the original along with hidden Boss characters who must be unlocked.
To spice things up, the special attacks and even some of the normal punches and kicks have glowing trails a la Soul Blade. It seems gimmicky at first, but it helps you to react to some of the more devastating maneuvers a bit quicker.
The polygonal builds of the fighters have also received a major boost with greater detail in the face, but a more uniform body type makes it a little harder to distinguish some of the characters from each other without seeing their faces.
You either loved or hated the fighting engine of the original and this version is no different. It plays almost exactly like the original although you have access to a couple more moves per character.
Some of the new moves include the ability to perform dodge-specific attacks and a Boost attack which is basically a button charge maneuver. The Al Setup allows you to choose specific settings for your character and the rest of the modes are pretty self-explanatory. Believe it or not, there is a third installment in the K-i PlayStation series set for release later this year in japan.
This particular version comes your way early next year. Fighting Illusions introduced us lo the stars of kickboxing last year. K-1 Revenge features about twice as many characters, several more moves and a healthy graphic improvement. Unlike Knockout Kings , these characters look more like their real-life counterparts.
