With Halo this is one of the most promising launch titles. Especially
the graphics are the most beautiful I've ever seen and that on a
constant 60fps framerate. And you haven't heard the best part: It's
exclusive!! XboxIGN recently went to tecmo and could actually But enough about the graphics cause what you all wanted to hear is how it plays. Well they could play only four levels: beach, forest, Japanese castle and cave. They all had their own special thing. We all know that in DoA2 the environments were already interactive, you could fall through windows and from edges and you could be electrified if smashed upon some walls. This has only improved in this version. For example in the Forest level you can hide behind a tree or in the cave level you will be able to walk to other areas. So the levels will be even bigger then on the dreamcast. The cave was also the most impressive of all areas cause of all the ice on the ground and the wall which reflects almost everything. You will be able to play with about the same characters as in the second version and a few extra. For example you have Brad Wong: a white haired Chinese man, Christie: a 24 yr old British assassin and Hitomi: a very young girl who still goes to high school. Of course the old characters have some new moves and you will be able to unlock some new costumes. The button configuration is a bit surprising. You move the characters with the D-pad and you use the X, Y and the white button to block, punch and kick. pretty weird cause all the buttons are above each other, but it works pretty good according to IGN. So certainly a great game which could save the Xbox a little bit in Japan. Probably not enough but it's a great start and a must buy for the Xbox. Expect some more movies and screenshots soon.
