Whats the actual problem with this game? Did they change the dynamics of the game and how it plays, or is it just the fact that it is digitised characters that ruins it?

The digitized characters aren't too bad, they just look ridiculous at times doing some of the moves. I am still trying to figure out if that's actually Van Damme or a double....he moves a lot like him, I don't know. At any rate, a lot of the moves and such either can't be done, or are extremely hard to do now as the characters don't have the reach, etc. to get them off. It's ok, just for kicks...but I would never play it seriously. Oh, and another thing: The damage scale is out the fucking roof. You can kill someone in as little as 2 combos....and, get this, it takes about 3 to 4 special moves to charge your super meter. Most matches consist of: special move, special move, special move, special move, jump in combo, super, dead. That's it...

Are they missing from your list? I think I have VOT...got it on clearout from TRU, played once, collects dust nicely. Is your list updated in real time on the web anywhere I do I need to Google Group search the last update?

I think Street Fighter: The Movie gets unduly bashed as a _game_. Sure, the digitized actors look awful compared to the animated sprites, but it's servicable. The important thing is that the game still plays well, making it the best digitized fighter around, with actual gameplay where Mortal Kombat has basically none. I liked how Capcom kept the background super effect for a super K.O., and it still is the only game you'll find Captain Sawada, for better or worse.
I liked Virtual Open Tennis as well, but I see _no_ reason to play it with the vastly superior Tennis2K available. For the time the game controlled and played well enough, but there's nothing special about it that newer titles haven't improved upon to make it worth booting.

Benjamin, you seem like quite the "forgiving" gamer. You know, the guy who can tolerate more than your average gamer.
So, let me put you to the test. What did you think of Saturn Contra: Legacy of War? (if you've played it)
I've never played it for the record, but 99% of people who played it tells me to avoid it like the plague. I probably won't go out of my way to get it unless I spot it for 3, 5 bucks at a flea market.
