Re: [Audyssey] What the sparcle?
Pipe 2 Blast Chamber had sidescroller levels but these were extremely basic. Sparkle takes place in a complex of stacked levels that you'll constantly be going up and down between in order to gather trophies and deal with events. There'll be pits to jump over, walls to climb over and ice patches to slip on. There are all sorts of factors in Sparkle that play off each other making it a far more complex strategic experience. Pipe 2 had levels that you simply went through one way as quickly as possible. The old Sparkle manual should give you enough of an idea to see how ludicrous such a comparison is.

Re: [Audyssey] Dead or Alive first impressions
I haven't found a game yet of any type that I can play for a long time. And actually I don't really have money, I just haven't had a new game to play in a while and this one sounds decent since it has a story mode. Not really interested in challenging the AI, trophies, etc, just want to play the story and maybe do a playthrough of it. As for 3d fighters, the godzilla games have the rage supers, SC5 as you've said, the dragonball z tenkaichi games definitely have supers, pretty sure the Naruto ones do as well. Urban Reign does also if you count that as a fighter, though I guess it's a little more of a cross with a beat 'em up. Can't think of any others. -- From: "Clement Chou" Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2012 08:45 AM To: "Gamers Discussion list" Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Dead or Alive first impressions Which 3d fighters have super moves... like I said the only one I know of is Soul Calibur 5.
