Hmm... You should go to Microsoft's Web Site, http://www.microsoft.com/,
and see what they can do, or go to your computer dealer/software dealer you
bought it from. I find CompUSA to be very lenient with defective software --
they can't refund it; they give you another one.
Good luck. :)

Write your reply.

assistant: Ok people, today I dropped by my favorite arcade palace, and I saw the
Batman Forever side scroller. I must say that in some sense the game was
generic, but it was in another sense really cool too. Let me explain. . .
    The graphics were down well, especially when Batman powers up and, they
actually look like sceens from the movie. The music I couldn't quite hear,
because of the background noises. The game play was really strange. . . let
e
explain this:
    It's two players, but two people can pick 2 Batmen, or 2 Robins which is
really kinda stupid. You can block in this game by pressing down both punch,
and Kick, but it takes off as much energy as if getting hit. Every time you
defeat any enemy you can pick up an Bat symbol. These symbols build up your
special power bar, when it reaches full you automaticly release a super move.
You can't control when you use it, and 90% of the time you waste it. Their
re
way to many enemies on the screen to fight at once. And the bosses are really
cheesy. The best way I can describe this game to everyone is by combining the
gameplay with the SNES Batman Returns, and the SNES Batman Forever.

Write your reply.

assistant: Well, that's good that you beat your opponents to a pulp but the way
you do it is another thing.  You said you ONLY use her conductor move,
the runslide and the grab moves.  Even though you win, most people
would consider that cheap.  I wouldn't because I believe that if your
stupid enough to lose to someone who does the same move, special move,
or combo over and over and cant blodck it, you dont deserve to win.  So
Im all for it.  Seeing how good Soul Edge "1" is so good I wouldn't be
surprised if Soul Edge 2 isnt good.  But I love the way VF3 (Virtua
Fighter 3) looks!!!!! Too bad its made by Sega.  I only have a
Playstation but they cant make it for the Saturn as good as the arcade
one will be.  Oh yeah, I use Sophitia sometimes but i like Siegfried
because of that huge sword.

    Well, Virtual-on is an expensive game, and I'm lucky that my local arcade
bought one. Yes it is an arcade game, made by Sega; by the name alone should
tell you that it's a well done game :) As far as the strategy comes into
lay,
the game has many seperate arenas where the mechs fight one-on-one. Each
stage has certain spots for cover from missles, and gunfire that can be
avoided. And every time you use your weapons, you need time to recharge them,
so you should stay away from the enemy until it's time. Basicaly you have to
use strategy on driving your enemy out from cover, avoiding their
mega-attacks, staying one step ahead of your enemy, and developing different
patterns to fight with.
    This game is nothing like a fighting game, that you and I are use to, but
it's a really cool arena fighter I should say. And I hope that you do get to
play this game in an arcade before it becomes yesterday's news. BTW if can
read up on it in this months EGM2 magazine.
