Best fighting game ever!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

I love playing this game! When I saw it on here, I just had to buy it again. This game is literally my childhood rolled up in one. The game shipped and delivered very quick and the disk and case was in excellent condition. Definitely buy this game! Much better than Icon.

Rap Fighting

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2013

Yup. In all seriousness, EA really outdid themselves (during its time). Playing as your favorite rap artist or a custom character, you fight for NY in unrealistically fun pit matches. I can barely play it, but to master it is fun and challenging (unless you use someone that does submissions)

Love this classic

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2013

Verified Purchase

Even after all these years the game still holds up. I love the creation of the new fighter and changing up styles to create my perfect fighters. Adjusting heights, weights and body types and tweaking the skills by learning how to get extra percentages gives you the ultimate fighters...

Be careful of item fraud, and misleading description

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

The disc was labeled as acceptable and it was garbage when it arrived. Looks like someone took their car keys to it and scratched it deep and then to top it off broke the disc in half. Why would you label it as acceptable and sell that to anyone for 50$!!! It’s a hard to find game so I’d be willing to pay that but what I got was absolutely garbage.

fun "quick to beat" game

Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2008

Verified Purchase

It's not for everyone, but It's oviouse who would like it, It has violence,(it is a fighting game)It has famouse rappers like ICE-T and Snoop Dogg, You can beat the game it in a day, unlocking characters for future play,but you can make different fighters with different fighting styles, so you can play it again and again, when you got time to kill.
I like it. It won't go in the pile of games I beat and never play again.
