Fun to look at but not to play...

This game looks great. The colors are brilliant on the psp screen. It delivers with content, sound effects, graphics and a very large cast of characters. However, I can't recommend buying this game. The controls suck! How bad are the controls? HORRIBLE, to the point of psp breaking frustration. Forget about executing your moves effectively or at all, while the computer tears you apart. It kills me when a game looks this great and have the controls ruin it. For example, anti air moves that use the dragon punch motion are problematic. Also, double fireball motion for most of the supers cannot be done effectively. Oh, and forget about using the Control pad (D-pad). You must have noticed the psp does not have diagonals, so moves that require them are awkard at best. You cant even jump forward properly using this control pad.
You can assign special moves to different button to help, but 1. it feels like you are cheating, 2. it ruins the gameplay. It reduces the gameplay to mere one button pushing specials until you get a KO. It does not compensate for the controls.
***Do not change your control stick to a larger one for this game. It will likely damage the joystick mechanism, rendering it useless. Something about the extra torque!
