I understood that I don’t want to play Xbox360 games as much as I want to play some original Xbox games. So I did. It’s surprisingly easy, you use the same ISO2GOD to convert ISO to executable format, and that’s it, Aurora picks them up immediatelly.
The game itself surprised me. First, there are slowdown in some arenas. Not sure if it happened on original hardware, because technically Xbox360 running an emulator for Xbox games. But I do remember that Xemu had the same issues.
Then the fighting system itself is broken, and I’m not even a fighting expert to recognize it. There’s a term “negative on block”, which means that if you hit a blocking character hard, you get pushback, and may get punished.
But at least with Vittoria, which a picked randomly, kicks are safe on block. So you can kick, if it lands – great, if not, you have time to throw your blocking opponent.
Also, JD character is literally Brad Pitt from Fighting Club. I don’t know how he didn’t sue.
