Some beasts had claws that would rip across the chest of the opponent causing blood to pump out the open wound. Other beasts would grab their opponent in their mouth and thrash them from side to side with blood gushing out of the victim. There is a setting to shut the blood off if you have a weak stomach. I was just impressed with how they incorporated the blood into the game only when you were a beast. One last thing that I liked about the game was that when you would make it through the arcade mode, it would unlock different bonus items.
Each character unlocked something different that would affect the game. The cool thing about it was that most of the bonuses that were unlocked were nothing major but just need little settings in the game. For example, you would unlock a mode that would turn off the life meter for both fighters so you did not know how much longer you or your opponent had left.
This just was a nice little added touch. I have a couple of minor complaints about the game. First, the fighting engine is pretty much standard fare for 3D fighters. Sure, you can morph and that adds to the game a bit, but the basic game mechanics and feel are nothing new. Next, I did not like when there was a KO because the screen would slip into slow motion and the background would change. For some reason, the slow motion thing just really annoyed me. It may have been because the game played pretty fast and when you hit the knockout blow, I did not want to see it happen in slow motion.
The last thing that bothered me was that the camera angle on the KO replays was always terrible. Most of the time you could not tell what was happening in the replay because of the poor positioning of the camera. I know this really does not affect the gameplay, but it was still a bit annoying. Bloody Roar has pretty good 3D polygon graphics. There were some times when the characters looked a bit blocky, but for the most part they looked good.
The morphing to beasts was seamless and also looked good and did not seem to cause any noticeable slowdown. The different fighting arenas and backgrounds also were nicely drawn. I really did not like the way that the game slowed on a KO. At first, I thought it was a graphics problem, but later realized it was done intentionally. Bad idea. If you are a die-hard fighter fan and must own every fighting game made, you should be fairly satisfied with this game.
For the casual fighting fan like myself, you will find the game entertaining but nothing revolutionary. Sure, the morphing was a great idea and worked really well, but it just did not change the fact that it was a pretty standard fighting game at heart.
Bloody Roar stands to freshen up the fighting genre with its unique morphing fighters, intense speed and unorthodox fighting methods. Once in the more powerful Beast Mode, the Rave option can even further the aggression. Each player has 50 moves, not including combinations and multi-punch strings. On top of that, another tricky option lets you create your own combos and save them to a memory card.
Some wrestling moves are also included for the friskier opponents. Beyond the novelty of morphing, this game has a number of good and original things going for it.
For example, you can select fighting kids as well as big-head fighters when you need a change of pace--no code needed here.
For added destruction, another option lets players knock down walls and barriers, expanding the fighting area to new areas. Shut off the blood if you wish, though it isn't that disturbing While the aesthetic elements are all impressive, gameplay is still the number-one priority in a fighting game and it's evident through early play testing that this title has a healthy dose of it.
Keep an eye out for this one. With the competition already heating up around the Tekken 3 PlayStation release, Bloody Roar does a good job of throwing its two cents into the arena. An extremely fast and well-made fighting game, it holds its own against titles like Teras Kasi and Tekken 2. In fact, the game will remind fighting-game fans of the original Tekken in look and Tekken 2 in speed and depth.
Roar features a plethora of pugnacious pluses, like air combos, juggles, and linking moves. But it also sports a Transform feature--with the press of a button and a full Beast gauge , you can turn yourself into an animal alter ego such as a tiger, a gorilla, a lion, or a boar.
Graphically, the game looks blocky in some close-ups, but doesn't break up excessively if you can handle some walls disappearing when you're near them or pixelated when you're in close. It's like a tightly woven Fighting Vipers without the messy polygonal meshing. Bloody Roar will be heard. It's the best you'll do until Tekken comes out--and it just may give that game a run for its money.
Bloody Roar sports some very polished fighters and smoothly blended polygons. It's also a fast game-until minor slowdown problems in the Ruins stage grind the game to a halt. The easy-to-use button configuration keeps things simple.
Punch, kick, or transform are all a tap away-and the Transform button doubles as an extra Punch button when you're an animal. A few voices and some minor animal sounds help move the game along, and the original arcade soundtrack is included in the Options menu, which is a plus.
The game could have used some more explosive hit effects, though. It's fast, easy to play, and the title doesn't lie-Bloody Roar is bloody-good fun. This may be the sleeper fighting-game hit of the year. Sony has a bloody good time coming your way with a whacked-out animal fighting game called Bloody Roar. It has bite and animal magnetism, and it's furry-iously fast.
Bloody Roar is the newest fighting game to come from Sony's ranks along with Cardinal Syn , and without a doubt, Roar roars the loudest with lightning-fast gameplay and spectacular combos.
Using Tekken-style polygonal fighters, Roar lets you battle as eight characters, each with their own set of moves. During a match, you can transform into an animal determined by which character you choose , which has its own distinct moves.
The moves come naturally, and with a little practice, you'll be able to claw through the game like a pro. Not the worst but not exactly average either. This is not a serious, ultra-competitive fighting game. You can simply pick it up and play with a friend to enjoy some fun, over the top action which this game more than delivers on. Very highly recommended. How this unevolved beast continues to elude extinction is beyond me.
Unfortunately, something went awry, and none of it works as it should. The abilities your stripped-down combatant earns in Career mode, for instance, are already available in the standard match types. Not that it matters. Fighting friends is equally pointless, thanks to an abuse-prone combo system that rewards frantic scrubs while punishing strategic players. Some games manage to deliver a good time despite being utterly sloppy see Backyard Wrestling , but simple fisticuffs of this sort have no excuse for playing like Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Each of BR4's praiseworthy features is offset by one or more missteps in the same category. Stay away from this beast—it bites. In Bloody Roar 4's case, however, the only truly positive thing I can say is that it lets me beat on other people as a six-foot-tall rabbit, and even that got old after a few minutes.
