Toribash

5 The Fighting Game
I don’t like fighting games, with two exceptions. The reason is simple – I don’t find mashing buttons in certain way and order as a good way to control game. It’s like “hey, he used ctrl+left+left+shift, I got to use up+left+ctrl”.

Well, I said there were two exceptions. First would be Little Fighter 2, because it’s combos aren’t as complicated and the game is more tactical.

And the second is Toribash. Seriously, this is The Fighting Game. I’ll give you an example. Recently, I’ve been with my friend who does kung-fu for a long time. He taught me some moves and I found that some of the moves are used in toribash. For those who don’t get why I am saying this – you probably haven’t played this game. You control every major muscle in the body in order to fight, just like in real world. Once you get past the hell of newborns, it starts to be addictive (again) as hell.

3 Confusingbash
I remember playing Toribash 3, and to be honest, the controls were ridiculously confusing, it doesn’t have much backgrounds, and it didn’t even have any soundtrack. This is like having my Wii sensor bar being broken. (Man, if only my dogs didn’t chew it’s cords up) But honestly, if you like fighting games, I only recommended this, for those with more advanced brains. So, in other words, I probably wouldn’t bother buying this game, if it were a game that’s for sale. But however, it is unique, so I give it a 3/5, for effort. After all, it should take probably at least year or so to master it, but it doesn’t mean it’s worth trying out!
