Verdict This was definitely not one of my favourite games but then again it was not one of my worst.

It is playable but there is not really a lot that you can do. All you do is choose your character and beat everyone else up. That's what most fighting games are about but my opinion is that the GameBoy`s graphics aren't good enough to handle a fighting game.

Like if you go to the arcade now you will probably see and fighting game called Marvel Vs Capcom that is also just a game where you beat everyone else up. But it is also one of my favourite arcade games. This is because there are DIFFERENT things to do. Here are some of them: tag teams, special moves, combined special moves, additional partner. And also the graphics are very very good. The gameplay is very smooth too.

The only really fun thing I enjoyed was trying to get as high a combo as possible. Don't get me wrong though… like I said it is not terrible but I would advise people to get this game only if they were a true fighting game addict.
