All the girls get breast implants, Graphics are so so, not much better than the dreamcast. Game play is roughly the same. The new characters are pretty good though. So far on a 1-5 (1 being worst 5 being best) rating scale i give it a 3

I just went to my local import store and bought it. It was $65. Do you not have an import store in your area?

None that I know of. Does an important work in an ordinary PS2?

shit i forgot to ask you that to. no you have to buy a mod chip or have a import PS2. So if you buy just the import it wont work in your PS2

Modding the PS2 is an extremely long and tedious process. The simplest kit that gives good results that work on every game (Messiah-2) requires 22 wires (the necessary wire gauge is almost hair-thin for the connection points and only slightly thicker for electrical contacts) and 44 solder points (did I mention the need for extra-fine solder?) that are on both sides of the PS2 mainboard. Unless you really want to play imports, it's too much trouble. I've been there; despite having great fun with my imported Xenosaga and Star Ocean 3, I sometimes wonder if it was worth the effort.

Is Talim any good? Her name actually means "blade" in our language...

Combo goddess, but has the same problem Maxi does...too easy to parry.

For each version though I despise the special character. Don't get me wrong fun to play with, but they are cheesy fucking shitbags.

Link: Three long range weaponry, faster then most(close to Taki), and his sword range is deceptive(he has closer to Nightmare's range then Taki)

Heihachi: waaaaaaaaay too easy to Link-Combo...I've gotten 11 hit non sequence combos with ease...nearly killing on onset.

Spawn: too fast, too strong, waaaay too stlited.

As for Storm problem...there translation disc that exist for the PS2, I remember them used to selling it anyways.(I have the GC one if wondering)

But...but...it's LINK! Still, I agree. Link is way too cheap. I mean, range weapons in a close combat game!

I give it this one thought though...the way they have him powered...it's like Nintendo went nudge-nudge for Link.

The Arrow is the thing that ticks me off given he can hit when you in the air or on the ground.

Seriously the thing also does WAAAAAAAAY too much damage(hold it for 1.5~2 seconds...get that first up...you do 15-20% of the bar for an extra tack on...it's just too friggin much)

Though the extra versus(where you can use any weapon you've won from Edge master mode) is beyond kick ass. You can either do cheap ass or some really cool match ups(healing weapons extend any combat)
