On paper, this is quite clearly the best fighting game in the world 
ever. It has 32 characters. It has all of the Fighting Vipers and the 
Virtua Fighters in one big package. It has FV wall-based backgrounds 
AND Tekken-style surrounds too. It also happens to have ten secret 
characters to find as well. The bottom line is that because of the 
huge amount of similarity between Fighting Vipers and Fighters 
MegaMix, the latter game really does make buying the former a bad 
move. This has far, far more to it than Vipers and retails at the same 
price. The other question we've been hearing is, should I buy MegaMix 
if I own VF2? Well yes, as the games are worlds apart in graphics and 
execution. MegaMix really is awesome fun. The combination of myriad 
gaming styles by including the Vipers and the VFers in one game really 
is a unique proposition that simply must be experienced. The secret 
characters are really cool too - Janet Marshall's moves are a sub-set 
of Aoi's from VF3 and the inclusion of the Sonic Fighters is probably 
the only time you'll ever be able to play these characters on the 
Saturn. Add in the Fighting Vipers/Virtua Fighter rules option, the 
chance to pick one of 32 different backgrounds, the flexibility of the 
front-end and the vast amount of little secrets to discover and you 
have the best fighting game. Period. 

Different enough to VF2 and indeed VF3 to warrant immediate purchase. 
 The fact that it has huge depth and gargantuan levels of playability 
helps too. What you have is what can truly be described as a 
once-in-a-lifetime videogame, which I beseech you to go forth and 
purchase.
