Closing Comment: No, the "Jet" part doesn't make the game any better... And for the record, this game has absolutely nothing to do with TFG's Featured Artist, Jet 3000. The World Heroes roster still can't seem to stand on it's own feet, and the gameplay pretty much falls short of every other 2D fighting game out there. It's an obscure 2D fighting game that some people might get some enjoyment out of, but it's a long shot from being anything really worth your time.   ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
