The concept for this game is too cool to be ignored. The problem is in order to make one move correctly you will be spending at least 5 hours. If you have the patience then go ahead it will pay off. I had this one guy do the stone cold stunner ( 6 hours) and the f-5 (9 hours). Also had one girl who, lets just say sucked the energy out of you. This is very cool to see when its completed but it takes FOR EVER. Also the parts given for you to create some one is pretty shallow. The fun is in creating the moves. I stoped playing cause I got vice city. If you have time and patience then buy it. Otherwise it will just end up collecting dust in your room.

I own both Fighter Maker 1 (for PS1) and Fighter Maker 2, and I must say I'm sorely disappointed at how Enterbrain has messed up the sequel. Sure, it's nice that I finally get to customize my fighter's appearance with hairdos and outfits, but I have to ask: WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO THE EDITING ENGINE? The creation interface is so clunky and hard to use, you'll be spending literally hours to create even a simple punch or kick move. The interface in the first game worked great, and it had several features that Enterbrain actually TOOK AWAY in FM2, like being able to hold down R1 and press left or right to preview the animation without ever leaving the screen that you're working on, or the "shadows" which allow you to match up your fighter's postion from one frame to the next. And I have to mention the camera angles: in FM1, whenever your fighter moved off the screen, the camera would actually move to center the view on him/her, but in FM2, the camera is lazy and doesn't want to go anywhere. So sometimes you'll find that you can't see what the heck you're doing to your fighter because the camera doesn't cooperate. If Enterbrain ever makes Fighter Maker 3, they'd better start by bringing back FM1's interface.

This is the best fighter making software for [the money] in the world. First of all, notice that I called it software and not a game. The gameplay is secondary. Don't expect anything close to DOA, or VF4, or Tekken.

But for [the money] this is one powerful piece of software that includes a wide variety (but not an overwhelming number) of features.

You can truly create a very unique fighter, given the patience. It takes time. And the satisfaction is truly rewarding, especially if you're the person who likes to tinker and experiment.

I've created 8 very different fighters with different abilities, both natural and supernatural with strengths and weaknesses.

Get Fighter Maker 2. It's a blast!

I am very suprised that there is not a Fighter Maker 3 after all these years. The PS3 (or even better XBox360 since that's what I got now) would be perfect for a game like this.

Anyway, Fighter Maker 2 is a hidden gem for anyone who is obsessed with making your own games as I am. I have dabbled in rpgmaker maker and plenty of other makers as well but Fighter Maker 2 is still my favorite.

The graphics and sound effects even for their time is pretty bad but that isn't what this game is about.

The shining force behind this game is the customization and pure fun you get from making your own fighters and then watching them (I don't play the fights, I sim them lol) go at it.

You can litterally do anything with this engine. On the surface it looks pretty shallow but after watching some videos on youtube I found out how to do ALOT of stuff I never would have thought of previously. You want projectiles... it's possible! You want teleportation, that is possible too. The moves in this game are only limited to the imigination of the person behind it.

If you have plenty of time on your hands (expect to spend at least 2-3 weeks per character if you work on it every single day) then this is the sim fan's dream game. I currently have 6 characters and plan on filling out the roster to 8 eventually. Bottom line, it's FUN.

I Love this game!It's great that you get to create our own fighter because everyone can have their own kind of character.They have lots of diffrent ways you can create your character!If you don't want to create a character they already have some charactrers for you to choose from!I only like to create females.I like making them wear pants.You can even try to make youself!It's fun fighting with your new born characters!I have this game and you should get it to!!

i only gave this game 3 stars because the whole idea of creating your own fighter is just too cool! And that part of the game is fairly decent, it takes awhile to get used to programming the moves. the graphics on this game are Horrible and the game play is definately not up to par with Tekken 4. so if your looking for good gameplay and graphics this is not a good choice. but if your looking to sit around forever to create that perfect fighter then its worth a look

OK game but hard to learn and control Not bad at all .

This is a great game!!It's Great that you can create your own fighter any way you like!You can fight right away with your new born fighters.If you don't want to create a character you can use the ones they already have for you!I like that you can make your fighter with your own style.It's fun to fight with your broithers and sisters.You can create a female or a male.You can change their hair,hair color,skin color and their clothes!Theirs so many things you can do to your character!If I never had this game my lief would be so boring!I love this game!And if I love it you would probably love it to!
