The original Bloody Roar was a refreshing change from the onslaught of fighting glook
available on the market, but Bloody Roar II does not live up to that initial success. The
battle arenas are some of the most bland settings we've ever seen in the genre. You
might as well fight in front of a solid gray wall. The character animation is impressive,
but the characters themselves are not much fun. We don't know why. As in the
original, you can morph into an animal during the battle, but only one rage move
accompanies that transformation.
The Story Mode is a nice thought, but all you get are freeze-frames of characters,
supported by a bunch of text. No, no, no! Where are the voice-over artists? And who
wrote these stories? They put you to sleep! There's no character development, just
boring plot. The game does include movies, but you have to beat the game in various
modes to access them one at a time. If you're going to make us work for a reward, at
least make it fun. After all, we do PAY for this entertainment.
