1/10
No seriously, is this a fighting game?

No, I have nothing against violent or graphic video games (love God of War and Grand Theft Auto), but too bad gory video games got off on a bad start with rubbish like this.

Even though graphics may have improved with the sequel, but it's still nothing to write home about. In every single game, it looks like the characters move as stiff as Barbie dolls and the attacks are super choppy. Even though the fatality system is an interesting concept, but they relied too much on this gimmick that they forgot about everything else. Killer Instinct did a much better job at the fatality system and is much more funner to play.

The characters, oh the characters...they're all...FUGLY looking. Even the human character don't look human. Everybody has small squinty eyes, big noses pressed up to their face and have so much muscle to the point where it looks disgusting. Even the ugliest Soul Calibur monster is way cuter looking than any of them. Are the female characters suppose to be hot? Because to me, they look like light weight males with fake boobs, they don't even look remotely feminine. And they're all as interesting and likable as dog poop. Despite their separate fatalities and move sets, they characters seem to have no real personality outside of that.

The only reason why I played this series is because kids were egging me on to playing this crap and I wanted to prove to them that I'm no "Barney lover" or "Pokemon fangirl". I even gave the sequels a chance, but no can do. I just simply loathe it.

If you want good gory video games, play Grand Theft Auto or God of War.

If you want a good fighting game with an interesting plot, lovable characters and good top notch quality, play the Soul Calibur series.

If you want a fighting game with a decent fatality system, play Killer Instinct.

If you want a good game in general, play "Final Fantasy XII" or "Legend of Zelda: Twillight Princess".

If you want to play overrated tripe that gets too much hype, play "Mortal Kombat" (or what I call it "Major Krapage").
