froze in the air and when you come back you can block it.

graphics,sound, combos and replay value. Mk Trilogy will never and i repaet
never, have the same depth as any Tekken game. Mk Tril. may look nice, but I
dont think its much better than Mk3. Sure you have the 32 or so characters,
but most of them are clones of one another, and you've played almost all of
them before in some other Mk game. Oh well, its up to you. Id buy both if I
had the money, but if ya dont Id really consider renting Tekken 2 for a few
weeks. Well talk to ya l8r. What do you think of Bust-A-Move 2, I personally
