Very similar to the show, complete with Japanese voicing and English subtitles. I didn't quite get it to play, but it looks like a brawler in the pattern of Mortal Kombat, Soulcalibur, and all those other button-pushers I never bothered to play. Decent multiplayer, but that'll be of strictly limited ...

This is a true gem, one that sadly never gained a foothold in north america. This 2d fighter stands toe to toe with any 2d fighters you may have played before, but with a futuristic scifi/ anime overtone, makes it even more classic in my book, not to mention a decent soundtrack and unique characters. ...

Well, there aren't too many airline running simulation games out there. In fact, I think this is the only one (aside from the original Aerobiz, but we won't count it).
