Four Ways t to Kill "| There are four ways to send your opponent to his grave. 4» Vendettas are performed much like fatalities in the MK Series. _ In the deciding round, if your opponent has less than 33% | health AND is stunned, you can enter a certain keystroke that £ will activate the gory vendetta. Sudden Deaths are background related kills that can be á | activated in the deciding round of a match. Your opponent . must have 20% or less health and be positioned at a ` specific spot on the screen. If you hit them with a | SPECIAL attack from the right place, your character will ~~ zap out of the screen and you can sit back and watch the carnage. д, Overkills are much like Sudden Deaths, but do not require a SPECIAL attack to activate it. Again, you and your opponent must be in specific positions, then you И. \ can finish him off and admire the gore. ү Cinekills are a unique addition to this CD fighting game. When the other character is stunned, and you are about to deliver the killing blow, entering a certain keystroke will call the Dark Champion. He will enter the battle and take | your opponent away to his castle where you can watch him die in fully rendered, full-motion video agony:

he tournament has been

corrupted, and no winner can be

chosen. Now, the Dark Champion has come forth, ready to fight openly in order to send the world spiraling into chaos. He has brought with him the four fighters he hid from the Eternal in the first competition. Perhaps now, with 74 the new fighters and the knowledge of the Dark Champion, the d y Eternal's contest will restore order to the universe. Only time will tell, out what is time to one who lives forever?

This Sega CD game is a sequel to the best fighting game ever to grace the Genesis platform. All the action from the original has been included on this disk, along with some major additions. To begin with, all the characters have some new moves, and the four new characters have an arsenal at their fingertips. All the characters, including the human hidden characters, have vendettas. The vendettas are used like the Fatalities in the MK series, and are equally, if not more, gory.

Each background now has two unique ways of killing a character, all the Overkills from the original cart and , 2 the new Sudden Death moves (those with weak nod stomachs may wish to cover their eyes). Finally, each character has a 3D rendered Cinekill which may be accessed to finish off your opponent.

Sega held nothing back in this tournament fighting game sequel. It has enough blood to entertain the viewer, and strong enough gameplay to keep the players interested. Any fan of the original Eternal Champions will feel right at home in this game, and any Sega CD owner who appreciates a good fighter should add this monster title to their library.
