Excellent But Lacking...

This is an excellent game. There are awesome graphics, and the fighting part is fun. There are a lot of movies though, and when you begin to get really into the game, its over. I would NOT recommend buying this game since it's so short, but only rent it since it can be beat in 2 days. At least rent it. It's worth the 6 bucks.

Going, Gone!

I will start off by saying SHORT. 2 Hrs max. The concept of building up your characters is nice but not worth playing through 3 times to max them out. Also the Story lines for each character aren't worth playing them through either. When you've seen one you've pretty much seen them all except for a few scenes and different phrases. The graphics are nice which they should be. Expected more from Square but wait I usually do......and they usually don't.

This game looks fantastic. It's visually stunning and works the PS2's capabilities to a great extent. The sound and cinematics are nice too..

..but that's about where the fun stops. This is a brawling game where you get to pick one of three fighters in single-player mode. The controls are limited and clumsy (but the buttons are pressure sensative, which is kind of cool). There's not much in the way of skill here...mash mash mash, you know?

I was excited about this game, but got instantly bored when I played it for the first time. Thank goodness there's a return policy at Babbages.

Don't buy this one. It's short and boring..and pretty slow. Not good for a fighter/brawler.

The best early PS2 game

The hardcore gamer may reject this game because it is too easy for them or because it is too short, but it is FUN for the average game player. It has great replay value, great graphics, and relatively easy controls. Maybe the acting is bad--but almost all acting is bad on video games. This is a good game to own.

Good but short

Although it is a short game you get what you paid for. because this is a fighting game...the type of game you would play with friends. Although it has a storyline (a good one) and although it is a total of 30-40 minutes of playtime, it doe snot matter because the nonstop playing will come from the instant fighting with friends and not the story mode.

good game

This is a very nice game. The story mode is filled with excellent graphics. Though the story is short, it must be played multiple times to get the complete story. Also, after you finish the story mode, you can play against friends in the Versus mode. ...yeah...

Great Graphics That Fall To The WaySide

To start of with this game has some pretty great graphics, but it stops there. The storyline is interesting but the CGI interruptions are very numerous and take up at least a 1/4 of the story. And to top this all of the story barely lasts over an hour. Squaresoft makes some phenomenal games just look at the Final Fantasy franchise, but this is not anywhere near what I expect of them. If I wanted a fighting game i would get something like Tekken or Bloody Roar. If u like realistic fighting games and fighting/tornament games this is for u. However do not let the promise of a good story game or the Squaresoft label fool u, a Final Fantasy this is most definitely not. To give what positive review I care to, in the whole fighting/tournament genre this is definitely one of the better ones. The fighters look very realistic and the moves do as well. However the premise to this game was the story and boy did it choke!!!!!!!

Decent game but short and too easy .

I bought it used a few months ago and think its a good game if you can get it cheap.... The game was ok I liked it for a while and after beating it several times It got kinda boring the best part is playing the multiplayer with friends every now and then...

Bouncer is a good rent.

It is a good fighting game but the game can be beaten in a matter of minutes. It took me about 30 minutes to have all my characters to max power and its not much fun after that. I recomend you rent it then see if it is worth the buy.

Lacking Gameplay

The story begins at a bar as a bouncer named Sion is beginning his shift for the day. A quiet morning is abruptly interrupted when a break-in occurs and the intruders manage to kidnap Sion's friend Dominque. This begins a dangerous rescue mission, as Sion and his fellow bouncers travel far and wide in search of Dominique's kidnappers.

This is the setup to one of the sweetest looking games to come out in a long time. That's right, Bouncer produces some of the most astonsing visiuls ever. The graphics are topnotch and all the cinamas happen in real time...cool stuff.

While the graphics are good, the major flaw comes with the gameplay. Its mindless button massing, nothing more. The game could be beat by press one button the entire time. This causes the game to get boring and repetive, thus making you want to turn off the game.

If the gameplay was good I wouldn't have mind playing it for its 2 hour playtime. Yep, 2 hours, and that's it. The game is way to short witch could be good or bad depending on how you look at it. Good side, you don't have to play this bad game that long to beat it and you could also beat it in the time you rent it. Bad side, its only 2 hours long....not worth the money at all.

So in the end, you could rent it and beat it just to see the graphics but other than that you could advoid it all together.
