Review: Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO

It's been years since many players had a taste of their first online fighting game experience. Since the X-Band era, many have been eagerly awaiting that opportunity to show itself again. Even after Capcom eventually responded with network play in import versions of past <i>Street Fighter</i> titles, players in North America were left out in the cold. Now with Xbox Live in full swing, Capcom has finally delivered the first worldwide online fighting game.

So is it worth the wait? What tools do you need to get the best online experience? These questions and more can be answered in our in-depth hands on review.

My compliments to the chef.

PS: The pics alongside the review are great. That makes it feel more like a magazine and less like my computer screen...

Thanks Mat. :)

There are actually one or two more that got thrown up there at the last minute, including Ms. Shiranui.

More than likely we will be doing more layouts like that when 4.0 launches (provided there's good art to accomodate the games)! ^_^

I've never wanted to actually read what that announcer says out loud, yet you made it tolerable. Kudos to you! :D

Interesting that you mention that because I saw fit to continue the tradition with the type of headers which were featured in the original CVS review :)

You did a great job, Bahn-o.

I'm not a hard to please guy, but still, you made it feel like I was reading a GameFan. The pics were a HUGE plus.

Good job. :D

I miss that mag. glad to know I can pull off an exceptional emulation :)

I also miss this writing "style". I have to do it more often...

The X-band mention makes me automatically love the review. Also, those pics really add a sense of style and professionalism to the piece.

Err... despite what's stated in the review, Maki isn't a new character. She was in Final Fight 2, the lackluster sequel to popular Capcom arcade game. She's the sister of Guy's fiancee Rena, who is the daughter of Genryusai, who was Guy's master in Final Fight 2 before they screwed up the storyline with the Street Fighter Alpha games by introducing Zekku as his master. *whew*

Anyhow, that was a really good review of a game that was great in the arcades.

Aw, shoot...shame on me. Now I have to make edits! :o

Thanks for clearing that up and for your feedback! :)
