Do NOT listen to the haters who say this game is too hard. This game IS hard, yes, i'll admit that much, but i've never felt more rewarded for learning and mastering a combat system. Once you breach that first initial hurdle of learning each mechanic, level, and aspect of the game, it is simply and truly peak. There is no game that has better martial arts, hand to hand combat. This is truly one of a kind, and it's one of those titles that is an absolute must. I recommend this game to every karate kid, furry, and dull brained monkey on this sad forsaken rock.
