An additional gimmick is the fairly interactive fighting arenas. Split second decisions are quite common in this game. But this brings the dilemma of self-damage and the danger of being left on the very brink of defeat. Without the power meter lit Hyper Beast mode would be the only option. A scenario could develop where the only chance of getting back into a match would be to use the Beast Drives. Sounds obvious and simple but it adds a great deal of strategy to a bout. When transforming into Hyper Beast your own energy bar is partially drained. Without a catch, players would stay in this powerful form permanently. This mode is available at all times and allows the same additional moves as Beast mode but is capable of inflicting more damage. Alternatively Hyper Beast Mode is available. These special moves or combos are capable of significantly depleting your opponent's energy. More importantly this also allows Beast drives to be performed.

Beast mode opens up a variety of new moves using the Beast button, plus some varying grapples. This can be accessed once a meter at the base of the screen has sufficiently built up. These days a fighting game is going to need a decent gimmick to really set itself apart from the rest of the field, and in Bloody Roar's case it comes in the form of its Beast transformations whereby each of the games characters can transform into 2 other forms.

Now the PS2 game, Bloody Roar 3, has received a major overhaul and has been released onto the Gamecube in 'Extreme' form. Its origins date back to the Playstation, with a number of sequels on both of Sony's machines. First up is the latest edition to the Bloody Roar series. With that in mind, owners of the Gamecube will be pleased to see signs of some decent support in that genre within the early stage of its life. It’s a cracking game that will serve your 3D fighting needs well.The N64 had a minute library of fighting games and the handful that were available generally failed to impress. If you manage to find it, if it’s been stocked and you knew it was coming out somehow, then good on you. Look at the sales of Dead or Alive of even the appalling Mortal Kombat…īloody Roar Extreme is a massive opportunity that has been disgracefully overlooked. It runs at a blistering 60 frames, looks as good as anything Tecmo has offered the Xbox and is housed in wonderful destructible arenas.īloody Roar Extreme, if it had been sexed-up a little and the people who should have pushed it had bothered to do their jobs, could have made it as a mainstream success. When knocked into the air a Virtua Fighter style juggle system comes into play, enabling massive, satisfying combos to be dealt out.

Seeing the same fate as CONTRA, Bloody Roar is not MGS, not Silent Hill and not Pro Evo and will there for receive little attention from those charged with trying to sell it, which is as shameful as it is dishonourable.Ī surprisingly sophisticated fighting mechanic underpins BRE which has successfully ‘borrowed’ from the well-established conventions of 2D and 3D fighting games. No marketing and no PR support was thrown behind Blood Roar Extreme, so the fact that it’s on the shelf might well come as a surprise. It’s a crunching disappointment that Konami Europe has lazily not bothered to push this release whatsoever. It’s a 3D fighter, which first hit arcades way back in 1997, and has seen solid enough support, largely, it must be said, in Korea and China, to be allowed to progress to high-end next-generation home consoles. Well that’s kind of the basic principal powering Bloody Roar Extreme. You fall back, your eight-inch long claws retracting into shaking, sweating hand, wild eyes barely registering the shock and horror of those around you…

“Listen, just back off, you really, really don’t want to get me mad,” you warn, feeling your DNA stirring, feeling your skin beginning to change… He doesn’t listen and goes in for the attack and WHAM! You turn into a massive half man half tiger and cleave his head off in a single stroke. You try your best to quash the situation but your aggressor just becomes more and more, you know, aggressive. Hudson knows this, which is why it’s releasing, via Konami, another slew of Bloody Roar games. Hybrid angry man/animal fighting is obviously the future.
