Pocket Fighting delivers all the fun and intense gameplay of any Street Fighter game. It's the first decent 2D Capcom fighting game to come along in a long time.

Size really does matter! Pocket Fighter breaks Capcom�s streak of less-than-stellar 2D PlayStation fighting games with an excellent combination of fantastic midget mayhem and very clever graphics.

Pocket�s super-deformed characters from Darkstalkers and Street Fighter are cute and kiddy�but don�t let their looks fool you. These pint-sized pugilists have enough special moves, techniques, and combos to send the most seasoned SF vets back to basic training. In addition to intense one-on-one fighting, there are new features which enhance the fun: You can grab gems during a fight (to power up special moves) and throw objects such as bombs. The smooth visuals don�t suffer from slowdown, and the characters are loaded with humorous and witty animations. Pocket�s as entertaining to watch as it is to play.

Forget VF Kids�Pocket Fighter�s an excellent addition to any fighting gamer�s library. Good things do come in small packages.
