I wouldn't say it would replace SC2 but it has promise. There have been a few negative reports (actually in an earlier thread I did) but I still think it deserves a chance.

Odd sense of humor you have, Hagen.

Edit: Hate so spoil Hagen's joke, here, but he's kidding, for anybody who doesn't pick up on this. Also, I think JJJ is stalking me; I might get a restraining order on that sick perv. :D

He must be Carrot Top... he thinks you've got a Carrot Top fetish, so no wonder he's stalking you...

As for Tao Feng, the commercial was interesting (the skeleton getting smashed to bits and everything), but then I found out that it's Kakuto Chojin (at least I thought it was...) or something like that, then I lost all interest.

Tao Feng is a 3D fighting game where you push back to block. Even more, the camera angle changes at random, meaning you'll be blocking one second and the next you're getting hammered. Oh, there's no way to block a combo after the first hit and stun lasts long enough that you can get wailed on by long combo strings with no hope of defense. Sound good to you?

Personally, I didn't think it sounded good... I just liked the smashed-up skeleton on the commercial...

When I hear about individual limb injury all I can think about is games like Time Killers and Blood Storm. That's quite the lineage Tao Feng is drawing from.

Tao Feng continues that lineage quite well. The game is just BLAH!

Looks cool, but the game is just kinda there. Had a chance to play it for awhile, and I wasn't very impressed with the gameplay. Blocking is dependent on when the computer feels like it, which is good for that game, since blocking too much gets you broken limbs. Leg sweeps unlike any other game I have seen recently do NOT knock you down, ...unless the computer feels like it. I have no problem with the leg sweep thing, seeing is how I think it is the most over used move in fighthing game history. But the fact that it's affects are as iffy as the blocking sort of takes the feeling of control out of your hands.

This is the kinda game that people who bought it & can't bring it back will play for a long while to get their money's worth. Those players will discover the true gems in this blah pit.

To me the only gems were the visuals. The levels are really nice, and well thought out. The opening animations of the characters are cool I loved the Iron Monk character, whose skin is somehow really iron, but the characters themselves are pretty cliche.

If you can, rent it. So you can say you played and have a leg to stand on when making judgement on it. But do NOT buy it before you rent it. This game is not for everyone. Specially those that like precise control in their games like VF or even Tekken.
