I've played BR since I was a child, from the first to the last! Only when I started playing Primal Fury did I start taking the game seriously by learning combos and strings! But I was still young and I only looked for stuff that looked cool for me at the time. Now, I'm ready to take it to the next level! I'll be hoping to attend any event for this game if given the chance! I play Shina or Shenlong/Long (Sometimes Bakuryu) but I practiced all the characters in the game. I just enjoy those 3 more~
I love this game and this franchise! Simplesmente sou apaixonado por este jogo! Foi um dos primeiros jogos de PS1 que eu joguei, e até hoje eu amo ele! Não joguei o Primal Fury, mas joguei todos os outros.
Konami and Hudsonsoft has to bring a collection to this game series. Like BR was a really good fighting game. Turning into animals mid fight, the arcade mode, the fact that some of the finishers in this game go insane.
Beat this game a few times just to watch the fighting demonstrations showcasing what the characters can do during the credits and I would have gotten my ass kicked if I ever had to fight any of those players. Also, didn't find out Fox was a dude until years later when I finally read the manual that came with the game.
Este é meu jogo favorito!!!! Eu adoro a franquia Bloody Roar / Beastorizer. This is my favorite game of all time!!!! I love the whole franchise Bloody Roar / Beastorizer.
I love the action and the dark story . The special moves were absolutely amazing. Has tons of replay value as each character has a story of their own . Also lhas unlockable characters and costumes. Being out 1-4.
