I'll tell you something - at E3 2002, it was fantastic. You could fly, you could control your sword in realtime with the analog stick...it was really really nice feeling, and had a hell of a lot of depth.
Then it feels like test markets couldn't figure it out or some shit. I played it again at E3 2003, and it had been completely dumbed down into the very mediocre game we're going to see in the market. Really a shame they didn't go ahead with the original design, I think everyone would have enjoyed playing that one.

What a shame. From the website it seems like a pretty cool game. Darn.

By the way I thought the bootleg was kinda fun for a while, though lame and crappy.
You get to: - Store pass your limit power bar up to 6 possible levels, but you need to store 1 additional level to break your limit in the first place. (i.e. If you select a team of 4 without strikers, when you reach your 1 level limit, you need to store 1 more level before the counter moves on to 2 and builds on for there)
- Select your characters in "mini-form" like in World Heroes 2 Jet.
- Get more funky colours for the charcters, plus every move has either a visual impact when hit (i.e. orange flame, purple flame, electrocuted, poisoned...)
- The backgrounds are more colourful than KOF2001's boring orange! You get to fight in "Last Blade" backgrounds!
- You get to fight a whole PLANET as a last boss!!!

A friend of mine was checking the game.... He didn't say it was good, but he'll say he'll try to dig in there and fix something... Darn, that game sucks.

I'm inclined to agree here. The evasion looks beautiful, but unfortunately all it amounts to is you looking cool dodging a lot of attacks before busting out your own canned combo string. No dynamic reversals or counters or anything.
From what I've played of it, Rise to Honor seems like it might be the best video game adaptation of HK martial arts films so far. It has a bitchin' (and responsive) directional combat system using the right analog stick and a context sensitive button that does all manner of cool stuff.
