A Bit Special
Namco remembers to bring back the fun to mass market gaming and this pick up and play, off the wall rubbish gathering game will invigorate the fingers of the jaded gaming veteran. Never taking itself too seriously and some cracking tunes from the land of karaoke.
Dreamcast
Action
Takes a plethora of vehicles from off roader, to vintage bus to big old trucker and places them into a scrap yard of doom where they must blow hunks of metal out of each other. Thrills and spills as the chase ensues with the four player mode being a total blast.
PS2
RPG
RPG based on the popular Atelier series with cute carrots, kawaii blobs and smiley whales to converse with in the pastel shaded, lavishly illustrated world.
Dreamcast
Sports
Losing nothing in the home conversion, best played with four players. Not merely button bashing though as timing is the essence of most events. The 1,500M event captures plenty of the pain and anguish the real athletes must feel.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Could the Saturn have beaten the Playstation had this release been the version ‘Remix’ was? Still sold by the bucketload. AM2 flexing it’s Naomi board porting muscles.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
With graphics as fluid as old man Shun’s drunken style kung – fu, jaws dropped over the huge leap from the predecessor to make this the series finest hour?

Intriguing collectable from AM2 as they show off a lot of their messing with the VF2 crew in this video CD compilation.

One on One Beat Em Up
Superb fighting series and worthy follow up which was never going to be as great a leap forward as between the first and second installments.
PS2
One on One Beat Em Up
AM2’s opus given a PS2 make over. Huge expectations on this title, yet it did not disappoint. Dazzling lighting and shadow effects. The Drunken Master look a like is a firm Genki fave.
Sony Hardware
Controller
High input from arcade crack outfit AM2 into this super stick tribute to the Virtua Fighter series and the obvious quality of the components shines through. In fact they are the same as you would find in an arcade. Very snazzy picture design to the stick for the Playstation 2.
PS3
One on One Beat Em Up
Well worth the wait as Sega polishes its massive series to create a visual punch capable of knocking players out cold for the count. Pugilists flow like water with seamless animation making it at times difficult to concentrate on countering the attacks, such is the graphical splendour. And its not only the players full of fluidity Ethe waterfall level will take a few attempts to get used to before players can focus fully on the battle in-hand. Seventeen playable fighters with some vicious special moves to master to become king of the arcades as players tour round the game centres fighting new challengers. Master is the operative word with ranking determined by performance against tougher opponents with the ultimate aim being to reach tenth dan. So the dojo is a sound place to start for some solid training in the foundations. Tournament mode allows competitors to pick up money or a new outfit to radically alter the player’s on-screen persona’s appearance.
Sega Saturn
A Bit Special
Get further involved in the Virtua Fighter series as gamers get to meet Akira more in his familiar surrounds practising kung fu. Lots of footage make this a very tidy addition to the GG collection.

PS2
RPG
Combines the fighting prowess of Sega’s Virtua Fighter series with action RPG elements in the ultimate fan service gesture. The game is played as young Sei who can power up by gaining moves from the familiar VF characters as well as take them on. Hopefully that doesn’t include leading the lad astray with Shun’s drunken style kung fu techniques.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Super Deformed versions of Lau, Wolf, Pai et al in a light hearted take on the VF series.
Game Gear
One on One Beat Em Up
Mini version packs a pocket punch with nice animation and a good recreation of the feel of its big brother, if not quite being able to pull off all the specials with the limited joypad. Very collectable with the success this series has enjoyed.
Sega Saturn
One on One Beat Em Up
Many believe this should have been released with the Saturn instead of the original version of Virtua Fighter. Yet the pressure of hardware release deadlines meant that the somewhat rushed VF came out first and this superior VF Remix a few months later. This is the original print run – identicle to the second print apart from having the ‘Special Limited Edition’ label on the front cover.

A six minute tribute to the Mega Drive version of Virtua Racing with plenty of footage of the game along with Japanese commentary and that famous sampled Sega shout out.

Sports
Where as the passing system isn’t perfect, this arcade classic still can set the heart a flutter with some very special goals. The first to introduce a very clever crossing system and the potential for wing wizardry.
