Thanks Ludor for that Ryu trick. It helped.
Like IWBTG, I played this game for its gameplay and general hilarity. The game performed greatly in the latter category. So many random traps, the CDs, the weird Achievements, and unexpected things (like "and down I go").
The gameplay is sometimes great, but it's usually bad or decent. Kappa, Shang Tsung, worlds 9 and 10, McGoo, and Bomberman all helped to convince me of that (Shang Tsung scores points for creativitiy, but seriously man, 5 blood attacks per attack cycle?). And of course, gameplay is the more important factor.
So overall, this game gets a decent grade at best.
