PS2 Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 - New Import

Ultraman pounds out the hurt once again in Banpresto's latest take on the popular action hero from Japanese pop culture. Baltan and all the usual oddly apportioned enemy creatures are in force where gargantuan fighters battle in all-out rough 'n tumble bouts. The controls seem identical to the previous Fighting Evolutions and the visual feast looks to be at the same level as before with polished scenery and cityscapes to fight within. Special moves and attacks have been redone however and look spiffy. The opening movie to the game shows off a row of Ultramen pitted against a similarly long line of monsters.    Playable characters include new inductees such as Ultraman 80, Ultraman Cosmos to the Ultraman Corps and Red King (finally makes it to the Fighting Evolution series) and the usual suspects such as Bemstar, Baltan-seijin, the robotic King Joe, Gomorra, Dada, and other home wrecking wretches. Upon starting the game, a number of modes are listed including Ultra Mode (story mode), Versus Mode, Tag Mode, Tutorial Mode, View Mode, and Custom Mode. Ten different Ultraman are playable in the game along with twenty-four fearsome foes.
