Ultraman Fighting Evolution 0 [The Best]

Ultraman has been in existence in one form or another since 1966. That's four decades of spandex-wearing super heroics from a helmeted warrior who made strange arm gestures and battled rampaging monsters. Ultraman made his debut in Urutora Sakusen Dai-Ichi-Goh which was released on July 17, 1966. From those early years to the current day, various Ultramen have taken up the torch to carry the franchise to new and exciting adventures. Later this year, the new movie Ultraman Mebius & Ultraman Brothers makes its theatrical debut on September 16 in Japan.

Paying homage to Ultraman's history as well as the upcoming movie, Ultraman Fighting Evolution Zero features eight Ultramen forms including the original Urutora, Ultraman Ace, Ultraman Jack, Ultraman Leo, Ultra Seven, Ultraman Taro, Ultraman Mebius, etc. The heroes face off against an assortment of creatures such as Eleking, Baltan, Black King, Knuckle-seijin, Bakishimu, and Hipporito-seijin. The action takes place on pseudo 3D battlefields and follows the rudimentary formula of the PS2 Ultraman Fighting Evolution games where two fighters face each other and attack, grapple, and blast away with special skills. A new system in the PSP version is the Clock Link System where the scenery changes depending on the time of day and affects the fighting capabilities of the combatants. For gamers who enjoy a little gallery with their action, an Ultra Reference Guide is included which features the profiles and images of 50 characters.
