World Heroes Perfect

On the heels of Fatal Fury 3 and Savage Reign comes another fighting game for the Neo-Geo. World Heroes Perfect is the latest in the World Heroes series, and it has some important new features that really make a difference. Although there aren't any new characters to choose from, you will face some Bosses from past WH games.

Speaking of new features, the one that is most apparent is the addition of a Power-up Meter, which starts to fill every time you hit an opponent. Once it is full, you have two options: You can execute one of your special moves (if it is one that takes advantage of your power gauge it will do extra damage) or if your life bar is more than half empty, you can execute your Crazy Death Blow, which is similar to a Fatal move (a la Fatal Fury 2 and 3), but much more impressive.

Along with impressive new backgrounds, each character has an ABC move, a projectile destruction move and defensive attacks. All in all, it's an impressive sequel!

World Heroes Perfect retains the excellent playability of World Heroes Two Jet and adds some nice features. The Crazy Death Blows are impressive to watch as well as easy to execute. The three strongest characters from the previous game Roof, Captain Kidd and Jack) have all been weakened, allowing for a greater overall balance.
