5.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY. Wait for second batch., April 30, 2007

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: SNK Vs Capcom Card Fighters Clash (Video Game)

I didn't want to lower the game's overall score, but it appears that the entire first run of this game has a fatal error which does not allow you to complete the game. Essentially, talking to the character John a second time on floor 9 causes the game to crash. Unfortunately, you must do so to finish the story mode.

According to the SNK boards, the company is aware of the problem as of today and is looking into it.

My advice: Don't pour time into a game you can't finish.

I'll provide an update when available.

UPDATE:

After a careful analysis by the game's programmers and after reviewing the reported bug encountered when meeting John on level 9 we, SNKP USA, have decided that the best action is to offer a replacement cartridge. We will order new repaired DS cartridges from Nintendo that will take approximately six weeks to receive. As soon as we receive the replacement cartridges we will give instructions as to where to mail your DS cartridge to receive a replacement. We apologize for this programming error and will correct it as soon as possible. Please do not return your game to the store of purchase. We will do an exchange program as soon as the new game paks arrive from Nintendo. Please continue to visit our website for updated information. We will update this announcement as soon as we are able to plan a date for the exchange to begin.

Thank you,

1.0 out of 5 stars Glitched, and Horrible Translation., May 6, 2007

When I heard this game was getting a remake on the NDS, like many I was filled with anticipation, and even filled out a pre-order so I could get it as soon as possible.

I also returned it to amazon a day after I received it, after spending about 5 hours on a friends copy.


Level 9 has a game-destroying glitch that will freeze the game when you talk to one of the characters a second time. Doesn't seem bad until you realize that in order to unlock all the cards in the game, you need to play through a second time. And talk to that character a second time, which causes the freeze, and thus makes it impossible to proceed.


The translation also leaves much to be desired. Some of the special effects on cards are so obscure you have to use them to see how they work, and in a few cases the effect written on the card doesn't do anything close to what it says. Case in point: Dante. "KO's all Character Cards with 500 or less BP." Left 3 cards with 300, 400, and 300 bp, and KO'ed one with 200, and one with 600. Doesn't do anything like what it said.


The game itself is fun, but knowing that it can't be completed pretty much destroys any possibility of me rating it higher than a 3 in fun. Whats worse is the game was delayed numerous times before release. There is no reason this bug should have made it past play testing; people were finding the bug practically overnight.

I give this game a 1/10 for effort, and a 1 star out of 5 for being un-completable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Few fun moments overshadowed by glitches and sloppy programming, June 6, 2007

This review is from: SNK Vs Capcom Card Fighters Clash (Video Game)

Capcom and SNK have been taking each other on for years in the arcades, culminating in a few fighting games featuring characters from both companies in all their fighting glory. SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters Clash updates the card fighting series from SNK's old Neo Geo Pocket series, and what could have been a solid card fighting game gets lost in translation thanks to some unforgiveable glitches and overall sloppy programming. There are 21 levels to make your way through as you discover the hundreds of battle cards featuring plenty of familiar Capcom and SNK characters like Ryu, Terry Bogard, and even Dante from Devil May Cry. What really could have made the game something special is the fact that the combat system is simple and easy to learn, which is a big plus for those unfamiliar with card games, real or digital. However, this is where the game's good points come to an end. The battles, while simple to learn and get into, feature opponents that are way too easy to beat. You really will get through the single player mode in hardly any time at all. This may be a bit forgiveable if it wasn't for some unforgiveable game glitches. The game has a habit of freezing up in play and in between combat as well, and you may find that the game does this quite a bit. This alone is what really kills what could have otherwise been a solid game. There are some pretty shallow multiplayer features and barely any use of the DS' touch screen, which only round out a disappointing package. All in all, hardcore card gaming enthusiasts may want to give SNK vs Capcom Card Fighters Clash a look, but don't expect anything special or even remotely good from it.
