Bloody Roar's twisted menagerie leaps back onto the screen and it's a bloody shame. A few rounds with this one and you'll wish you could assume a different form, too. Read Review
Developer Hudson's unique 3D fighter returns with Bloody Roar 4 for the PlayStation 2. Three new characters join the cast of originals for a total of 17 fighters altogether. Players will see increased gore and blood, and the ability to customize your fighter with the all-new development mode, which uses a new ability point system to unlock new moves and powers in addition to the capability of stealing your opponent's move set as well. Also new is the "Zoanthropes Guage", which allows you to balance your health and power. As always, each fighter possesses the ability to morph into an animal to lay some serious beat down on the competition.

While there's no shortage of superb fighters, there's also stuff like Hudson's Bloody Roar 4 -- a sub-par fightfest on almost every level. Read More »
