No doubt fans of the original that were expecting "a lot" out of Toshinden 2 were disappointed. While it was
a halfway entertaining sequel, Toshinden 2 couldn't compete with the
likes of Tekken 2
and & Edge, which came out the same year. If for some reason the top 3D fighting games of 1995/1996 didn't
appeal to you, at least you had the "option" of Toshinden 2. ~TFG

STORY:
After returning
from the last Battle Arena Toshinden with his dreams unfulfilled, Eiji
continued to dream about fighting and beating his brother. His dreams
were very real. No other opponent would satisfy him - it had to be
his brother. He is now facing the next Battle Arena Toshinden, believing
that his brother will be there and the fight of his dreams will happen
at last.
REVIEW:
The sequel
to Battle Arena Toshinden wasn't much of an improvement to the
prequel, but gave fans of the first game something new to play. The gameplay is
a bit faster & smoother in certain areas, but still feels very similar to the
first game, and was considerably clunky when compared to many of the top
fighting games out at the
time.
Say cheese everyone! lmao.
If you could get past
the blocky graphics, you'd get to know some pretty interesting characters, each
with a handful moves and 2 different super moves, an "Overdrive" and "Desperation"
move. Unlike in the first game, now you can attack your opponents while they're
on the ground, which offers some new strategy to the gameplay (which should
have been in the first game) . The new characters add
variety to the
series, and a few of which aren't half bad designs.
