Ultraman (PS2) is the other unmissable game. UFE 1 (PSX) is weird since it behaves more like Tekken or Virtua Fighter than a Tokusatsu game, and UFE 2 (PS2) is a more limited version of UFE 3. UFE 0 (PSP) is a rehash of 3 and Rebirth's characters in a Showa/Mebius motif. UFE Rebirth (PS2) is good, but sacrifices characters and faithfulness to the shows for highly exaggerated special effects. 13 Ultramen, 17 monsters, 7 Ultramen palette-swaps and 3 unplayable bosses from all the franchise (1966-2003) with a story mode faithful to each Ultra's episodes and lots of hidden moves mean that this is, IMHO, the most complete game. Ultraman Fighting Evolution series, especially UFE3 (PS2). IMHO there's two games that should be essential to every gaming Ultraman fan: Using a fine mix of percussion and strings to create a mood of pure badass action.I'll try to keep this as brief as possible, since there's a LOT of Ultraman games. This is how much of the music in the game is presented. Even the title screen has a heart pumping rock and roll track to it. Ultraman Nexus has the perfect music to rock out to while defending the earth from invading evil forces. Despite this however, the game never becomes unbearable to look at. The textures on each character are rather flat even for a PS2 game, and the enemy designs are nothing to write home about, with some of them being repeated gratuitously. The graphics are alright, but nothing special, the backgrounds are washed out grays, blues, and browns that don’t provide any interesting backdrop for the action.
The biggest issue is not in the graphical style, but in its capability. The look of the game is a pretty stellar representation of its source material. Ultraman Nexus does a rather good job of replicating the look of Tokusatsu characters. This means that while the many moves you can pull off feel satisfying to look at, executing them doesn’t give the same sense of satisfaction, resulting in a jarring and negative juxtaposition. The combat is very basic in design, despite the use of some cool looking special abilities and combos, nothing about the combat system is all that interesting or unique. Combine this with some heavy moves to be performed both by the player and against them, and some stylishly unique and joyful to behold combos, and you get the combat system of Nexus! The combat is fun to watch and satisfying to pull off, but it does have some issues, primarily in its simplicity.
