Darkstalkers 2 / Vampire Hunter
(LAST UPDATE: 5/2/08)

Profile

General: The sequel to Darkstalkers brings back the entire cast, and also adds a few new (and quite cool) characters to the creepy roster. Of course the gameplay and combo system was tweaked for the better, making for an all around more enjoying game. As a sequel, it may not seem like much was added, but Capcom knew what they were doing, and wanted to add more popularity to their "sleeper hit" series.

Closing Comment: Only a year later, the Darkstalkers series was gaining more popularity and generating a small fan base... The artwork for this game is also amazing, still to this day.~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
