Well, I don’t think they’d be embarrassed, considering the line below the title: “Who cares about the gameplay when it looks this good? Edge does…” It hits that the game is going to be rated on gameplay no matter how good it looks, and suggests, right there on the cover, that it doesn’t come out that well.
By comparison, FX-Fighter kicked its butt and then some. At least with that game I picked it up in its full release with a comic book and stuff for around $5. :-)
The PC version of "Super Street Fighter II" was way cool as well. It even came bundled with not just a 6-button joypad but also a VHS copy of Raul Julia's/JCVD's "Street Fighter" movie. I only watched the VHS once.
Time Warner Interactive's "Rise Of The Robots" was nothing more than a pre-rendered mess. It just blows me away how an arcade version was aborted in record time. But those were the times: Fighting games were big back then.
Does anyone remember an obscure fighting game for the PC known as "Stick Fighter?" Picture stick figures fighting each other. It's more funny than it sounds. Think of attempting to render a fighting game in Fantavision and that's pretty much what it is. And it was much better than "Rise". :-)
