Sound pretty cool but the graphics look pretty average to me.  Hopefully they will learn a few tips from namco on how to make a weapon fighter(soul cailbur).:fro:

Ive heard about this game a long time ago and all I hear is good hype. So maybe its worth playing. But then again the budget is kinda low. Thank god for rentals!!!

looks a bit crappy if you ask me, the game might be good, but when i saw the thread i thought it was the game barbarian, as in like the one i had on our amstrad, it was a sd fighting game, and you could chop there heads off, when you did this little troll thing would drag there body off the screen, and kick there head of it too.....babarian 2 was different though, i was a scolling 1p game!!  it was ok, but not as good, does anyone else remeber it??
