Review: World Heroes 2 added a few more characters, moves, stages, a new life bar selection option; making it a decent improvement over the original game. Players now have the option to change the classic "double life bars" layout into one life bar that goes back and forth as characters are damaged... Doesn't make much sense, but hey, can't blame them for trying to be creative. The new characters aren't bad, and balance the roster out a bit better; but the cast still leaves much to be desired overall; along with the mediocre gameplay.

Closing Comment:
I tried out World Heroes 2 shortly after it first came out, and I
actually had some
fun with it... Aside from a few interesting characters and the life-bar selection,
there still wasn't much to the game and was a far shot from Street Fighter 2. The gameplay just seemed
slow,
and of course, no one else in the damn arcade was even walking close to
this game. 
For obvious
reasons, I would have still preferred playing Street Fighter 2, Mortal
Kombat, or Art of Fighting in 1993.
