You will have to choose one of 5 characters: Shina (human fox) Bakuryu (mole man), Ugaki (human lizard), Alice (human rabbit) or Yugo (wolf man). The arcade version features new characters, including Gado from Bloody Roar: Primal Fury and Ryoho from the original PS1 version of Bloody Roar: Extreme Championship Edition. The game has also been ported to arcades.


It features an enhanced battle system and new special techniques. The Bloody Roar 2 also includes a number of enhancements over the original games. It should be noted that the game's title is somewhat misleading there is very little blood and even fewer roars until a character reaches their Beast form, at which point they'll roar and bleed all over the place. The story for BR2 was much more substantial, with ten playable characters and a total of twenty-six different endings. There were only four fighters and three endings, which were sparsely animated with little text to go along with them. The first Bloody Roar's plot was rather simplistic. The only way that can help you is Bloody roar 2. While the storyline in most fighters is merely a superfluous excuse to let the gathered combatants beat the crap out of each other, it actually adds to the overall flavor of Bloody Roar 2.Some characters have special moves that are difficult to miss even if you don't know the combination of buttons, so you can do a lot of damage in one go.The difficulty level of this work is low, and if you are new to fighting games, or if you want to play for the first time in a long time, this may be your best choice.There are times when you have no control over your urges to fight. The mode most gamers will enjoy playing is the story mode, which gives you a good deal of background material on each fighter. While the new characters are much better than the ones they replaced, and the number of available moves per character has increased, the incentive to keep on playing wanes severely after a few rounds. Without this function, Bloody Roar 2 reverts to the all-out frontal assault that the import version of the first game was. While there is an option in the custom mode that activates the sidestep (performed by pressing right after executing a block), it's hardly intuitive and only serves to give the computer an additional edge while you struggle with the controls. Gratuitous character swapping aside, little has changed from the first game, prompting the question, "why bother?" Why bother indeed when Bloody Roar 2 actually takes a step back and removes the ease of executing the sidestep! For reasons unfathomable, somebody actually went ahead and removed the perfectly functional sidestep, which was the main reason the American version of BR1 was a fairly balanced fighter. One would think that this is a prequel, except that the story mode indicates that BR2 does indeed follow in the footsteps of the first game.

Oddly enough, Bakuryu the mole and Uriko, the boss from BR1 are back, except that they both look like teenagers now. The difference is that they took out the characters Mitsuko (the female boar, yuck!), Greg (the monkey man), and Hans (the girly-looking fox guy), and replaced them with four new characters - Marvel (the leopard girl), Busuzima (the chameleon), Jenny (the bat chick), and Stun (the insect). The problem is that it is a repeat of the first game.
