JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure HD (Review) – GameRevolution.com

"The fighting game genre back in the 1990s and early-2000s was a beautiful era. There were so many interesting new ideas bouncing around, from weapons in Soul Blade/Soul Calibur to the development of "HOLY SH-" combos in Killer Instinct (which I still want to see a return of), crossovers and character crammers in the King of Fighters series, and all of the "standards" we have today from both the Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter series. But there's a layer below those big guns, that group of titles that made us all sad and disappointed. You know the types, the interesting ideas that seemed to never be play-tested to make sure they were any… good.

After thankful departures from the likes of Time Killers and Way of the Warrior, we got JoJo's Bizarre Adventure—the manga-based fighting game that few in the US had heard of before the game was released in 2000, and that even fewer took the time to investigate further. I knew it was released on both the PSOne and Dreamcast, and I actually wanted to try it on my Dreamcast back when it still sat on store shelves. Now, we get a HD port of it… and I'm glad I didn't pay full-price for a boxed copy back then." -Kevin Schaller
