Asura's Wrath - PS3 star
Based on a sci-fi imagining of Hindu mythology, "Asura's Wrath" is a high-powered beat-em-up game with a bit too much focus on its cinematic aspects.

Dead or Alive 3 star
Sure, we´ve been spoiled recently with incredible graphics in fighting games. Tekken, on the Playstation 2, is one of my favorites, with its shimmering waters and floating leaves. It´s pretty amazing that barely a year later, it´s been blown out of the water!

Devil May Cry 3 star
Devil May Cry is the prequel to a series about a pair of brother / demons who kick, hack and slash their way through the world. There are zombies galore!

Jade Cocoon 2 star
Jade Cocoon 2 expands the ideas of the original Jade Cocoon, but has a different lead character and evolution style. This is sort of like super pokemon battle.

Monster Rancher EVO star
The fifth game in the Monster Rancher series, Monster Rancher EVO takes the series in a bit of a new direction.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja star
Naruto began as a manga series which then became anime - and now it's a Playstation 2 fighting game. The graphics are quite impressive!

Soul Calibur III star
Soul Calibur III is the latest release in a great line of fighting games. The graphics are really impressive, and the character customization adds a great new dimension to fighting gameplay.

Soul Calibur IV - PS3 star
Soul Calibur, in its heyday, was one of the most respected fighting series. However, after Soul Calibur II, the series seems to have lost its way and lost focus. Soul Calibur IV is in many ways a victim of that lost focus.

Soul Calibur V - PS3 star
Soul Calibur V is a fighting game based around the use of weapons like swords, spears, staves, and so on. It continues the tradition of previous games focusing more on character customization and multiplayer and less on core gameplay.

With Tekken Tag Tournament on the PS2, the characters are fluidly smooth, the backgrounds are INCREDIBLE and the combinations of moves for each character both reflect the personality of the fighter and are executed flawlessly on the screen.

The King of Fighters 2002 - 2003 star
If you´re a fan of fighting games, it´s a great deal to get the combo pack of The King of Fighters 2002 and 2003. There are tons of characters, tons of stages, and quite interesting fighting action.

Virtua Fighter 5 star
Virtua Fighter 5 lets the graphics prowess of the PlayStation 3 shine. The question is whether great graphics alone can make a fighting game worth playing.

Yu Yu Hakusho Dark Tournament star
