Gekido (PSone)

I played the demo for this one back in the day and it seemed pretty fun. Then it got average-to-mediocre reviews and even though it was released at a discount price point, I never picked it up.

So throw some opinions at me. How bad could it be, really? Should I grab it if I find it cheap?

And what the hell happened to that great-looking GBA version of the game?

From what i remember, it was a lot of fun... probably one of the best 3d beat-em-ups i've played

Had a killer soundtrack too...

It's okay. Not great, not bad, just okay. If you like beat-em-ups, you could do worse than to pick up a copy if you find it for, say, $10.

It's been finished for months (I played the, ahem, computer version) but I never saw any release for it, either. It's pretty good and damned beautiful (even if a bit cheesy at times).

I bought it the day it came out and regret selling it... I really could go for plying it right now since I haven't played a good beat-em-up in a while. the 4 player mode was fun too.

I picked one up a used copy a while back for about 8 bucks. It has a lot of moves and combos (more so than any 3d beat em up I've played), fun two playerm and a bunch of unlockable characters. It has a 4 player versus mode as well. My only major complaints are load times (one big load at the beginning of each level) and that it looks like ass now especially on my PS2. Pick it up cheap--it's a game that grows on you.
