It is an uninspired fighter. Movement is weird and controls are horrible. (I am talking about the arcade vers; dunno if the console ports are any better but I doubt it).

It very mediocre for the N64.  I see little reason to persue it.

well i have it, and i think its great.  very worth it.  its like tekken with fatalities.  the fatalities are really cool and the characters are cool.  the combos are fun to pull off, i dont know what you guys are talking about.  i would at least dl if you can, and play it for yourself.

Mace the Dark Ages tied with Wargods as the worst fighter ever according to several sources, including egm. (And myself)  Enough said.

Odd... I LOVED the game...  I don't know how much I wasted in the arcades playing that one.  I was excited to find that MAME now supports it.

I wonder where B.I.O.Freaks is on that list... I bet it was a close second.

yeah it seems like the MAME team picked the worst possible games to try and emulate first =P  i thought MACE and wargods sucked horribly

Anybody else feel that although incredibly cheesy, Timekillers is a pretty fun fighter?  Maybe it's just the opportunity to actually lop off the other guys head that keeps me going.

Well biofreaks is actually playable (although maybe even more dull than the other two)  so you've gotta give it a little more credit.  ;)
