Thoughts on Rage of the dragons?

I am thinking of picking up the MVS cart? and I have not played it yet? I like the art style though

Definately get the MVS. I personally think it's a FUN game. Not as serious as KoFs. The home cart price is just absurd though, imho.

-SG

the graphic is refreshing.

the combo system, altho broken, is actually fun once you get the hang of it. you can get all sort of crazy combos...

It's no Mark of the Wolves, and it's definately no KOF 99. It's fun though. You'll get raped by the computer the first few times you play. Then you get used to doing the cheesy shit that the game requires. If you're friends can put up with cheese it can be really fun two player. Single isn't so fantastic. Difficult learning curve initially, but you'll get the hang of it.

Character art is awesome. I love the Brazillian pair. Best. Team. EVER. While the animation isn't Garou quality it's decent. At least as good as any Capcom game other than Third Strike. Backgrounds are cool, with the exception of the wrestling arena. It just looks like they didn't finish that one. Music is good too, especially the Club and the Brazillian stage. Love it. If you already have most of the fighting games you really want then pick it up. If you don't already have stuff like MOTW then I'd suggest that first.

I really like this game, broken combo system or not. My only beef is Johann is cheating pussy ass bitch (granted, once you figure him out, the game isn't too difficult). I liked the game so much that I made one of those things we can't talk about for a shock box. PM me if you want to see it. The artwork is excellent, most of the animation is really sweet and the backgrounds are cool as well.

If you're getting MVS, buy from someone with a good reputation as there are a buch of boots for ROTD floating around. This is especially a problem if you're trying to play via a Phantom-1/NGH.

Worth picking up especially on mvs, there are some good deals on full kits going around these days.

I got mine when it came out from the neo store and I'm hoping the price will eventually skyrocket. (US homecart of course mr_t )

Koo thanks for all your input

Long live the NEO!!!!

I think it rocks, could een say it´s one of the most enjoyable neo-fighters since it´s very unique.

You´ll feel like an total alien the first times you play it but will soon learn and master it. The downside is that it doesnt carry the depth of KOF for example.

One of my most played games alongsides garou, KOF 2001 and Metal Slug 1 and 3.

I pretty much agree with what everyone has already said... check out the review I wrote a while back if you want though

too right its not

Motw is teh Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love it broken combo's or not. It's a nice change of pace, not as serious as the KoF's or overrated like MOTW but it ownes in it's little ways.

It'll be a nice addition in your MVS pile
