CVS Pro for PSX (Review included)

It's $20...it's sitting at your local store..confess, who has bought this and played it? I havent played it or seen it yet, so I wanna hear what you guys gotta say about it. BESIDES THE LOADING TIME from everyone else lol Because all you Neo CD owners don't mind the loadtime that much. so CONFESS!!

I played it at my friend's house, the load times are about 8 seconds, not too bad...The DC version is way better IMO.

true the DC verison is better as always, 8 seconds? thats not bad at all IMO

*raises hand* still unlocking the EX modes for the chars...

i have the pal version, i got it real cheap $8 new and sealed, i know it's gonna suck so im not gonna open it. the cover art is classic.

i have the dc version so there's no need really and i actually bothered to unlock everything.

also have seen it at my local gamestore but not really interested in getting it since you can get the dc version that is way better for the same price here in the us the only differince is that the psx version has joe and dan and yes joe has a total of 4 moves including his dm/sdm and 3 specials that is it while dan has atlest double that have not played my freinds pro version in about 6-8 months though

I plan to pick it up to have it on the go ( cuz I'll be leaving soon ).

I can get it for $15 from Best buy ( $20 price match + $5 coupon ), so it's no big deal. I want to see the 2-D backgrounds.

hey thats a brilliant idea...the LCD screen with CVS Pro on the go? more then perfect IMO

I bought it today! so sue me! it's GOOD! 8seconds of wait is worth it hehe! <img src="graemlins/drool2.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool 2]" />

The game looked very weak on the psx.
All the fighters are missing tons of animation.Do Iori's maiden masher and see it for yourself.Its very slow and looks very patetic when compared to the DC version even if you upped the speed of the game!
The frame rates are low.
The backgrounds are very off too.The arcade stage has no rainfall.They are not in high res like the DC/arcade version.
Loadings are long.Quite unbearable for a game which has no loadings at all.
The KO effects are toned down big time.Instead of the usual fire effects, the screen now turns black with a lame "flash" at the back.Looks very stupid when compared to the DC version's fire effects.
The projectile attacks look very pixelated and squarish.Weak...

Gamespot has a review of the psx version of pro and the most laughable part was that they say the psx version has the same frames of animation as the DC version.

I'll have a full review tommorrow afternoon Because I have never played the Dreamcast verison, so I will have a more fresh review on it. "It's best not to expect your enemy, until you face it eye to eye"

CAPCOM VS. SNK PRO for PSX: The Full Review

Introduction: PSX, you gringe at the thought of loading time makes you shiver in disgust, doesn't? Well CVS Pro is here in the US now, and though loading time is 8 seconds flat for each load (i.e. each round or when you start or continue) So let's start the fighting tournament shall we?

Graphics: Very solid 2D Animation, The Intro is beautiful IMHO, down side is pixeled looking flames from fire balls and the characters as well have ridges on them (But I still say that doesn't do it to ruin the joy of CVS). Missing frames of animation have been proclaimed to be running about, but since I have never played the Dreamcast verison, I can't notice them. So shame on me I guess lol. To me, the animation is decent, game speed is quite old school, the way I LIKE IT! Backgrounds are beautiful as well, nice detail Overall Rating 7 out of 10

Controls: Top notch, 4 button Neo Geo style, but I highly recommend you find a joystick, cause I like my fighters with arcade feel. (Good Joystick for PS1. I recommend is the Blaze Pro-Shock Stick: Price $10-15, it's mini, but does the job well to put Rugal back into his place )But if you love the PSX controller, more power to you, I don't blame ya or judge you for that ^_^ Overall Controls: 10 out of 10 (You really can't mess up a 2D fighters controls)

Gameplay: JOE HAGASI PEOPLE! I mean come on! I know you Joe fans are out there! DO IT FOR JOE! or do it for DAN, for all you DAN FANS!! Ok, we got 5 hidden characters (Nakoruru, Morrigan, Gouki, Orochi Iori, and Evil Ryu), Groove Points to earn for every time you finish the game, or when you go into pratice mode, you get 10 points for each minute you spend. You beat the game you get over 310 Groove Points automatically, thats enough to unlock one hidden character or buy 6 EX Characters (50 points each), so earning stuff will be time consuming, if your not in a real hurry. 2 Groove Figting Styles, Capcom Style (3 bars to do supers), SNK Style (Looks like a little mix of Samurai Shodown and KOF style with a similar "rage meter" or "desprate move" when your life is low, which means you can do supers like crazy): Overall Gameplay Rating 8.5 out of 10

Sound: Music pumping like hell, nice groove to it, love this soundtrack, voice and sound effects fully in tact from the original, nothing is missing, I'm surprised all the victory pose voice clips are in tact. Most impressive, pump up the volume, it's good stuff. 9 out of 10

Overall Rating Combined: 8.6 Max

Final Opinion: You are on a strict budget, but want a new solid fighter for a cheap price? CVS Pro is it, for $19.99, you can't argue with that. Playing it on the PSOne LCD screen is THE SHIT! I couldn't help it, finally seeing CVS in portable form was a gift from god lol Another note, all the loyal Neo Geo CD fans will love this, because regardless, the loading times don't mean a thing to me, I'm a patient person when it comes to games, don't like rushing with hyper combos with 123 hits, that's retarded. I like realistic hits and CVS Pro is my cup of tea.
I Hope you all will enjoy or at least give it a shot for the LAST PSX Fighter as much as I do.

PRetty good review I guess.

An 8.6 for a downgraded version of a medicore game?
Than again you can't complain if its only $20.

thanks, yeah it's medicore, not that bad, and not that perfect, but maintains a good place as average I'd say
