Prepare for the evolution of fighting as SEGA's best-selling fighting game gets an upgrade. Say "bye-bye" to jaggies because the graphics have been fully optimized to make better use of the PlayStation 2 hardware. But as any Darwinist will tell you, Evolution is not about looks - it's about the survival of the fittest. Stakes are raised as players throw-down against aggressive highly-tuned A.I. opponents modeled after the top players from the arcades of Japan, new exceptionally detailed arenas, and two new characters hungry for their place at the top. Of course, in addition to the new modes, moves, and fighters, players can still customize their own character with more than 1,500 new costume items - more than double the amount from last year's release.
