Welcome to the electrifying world of Advanced V.G. 2, where fierce female fighters battle not only for the title of 'Virgin Goddess' but also to promote family restaurants-because who doesn't want to fight while serving fries? As the sequel to Advanced V.G., this game brings back familiar faces and introduces new ones, all while keeping that tantalizing blend of action and absurdity that players love. Let's dive into the chaos of martial arts and mystery in this late '90s gem!
Advanced V.G. 2 unfolds in the near-future Japan, where the biggest draw isn't just martial arts prowess but the glorious sponsorship of family restaurants! Players can choose from a roster of all-female fighters, each imbued with their unique fighting styles and backstories. You'll be utilizing a four-button control scheme, reminiscent of classics like Street Fighter, which means it's all about punches and kicks, but with a twist of Japanese flair. The gameplay includes special moves that can be triggered with combinations-perfect for impressing (or bewildering) your friends. Win matches to continue the story mode, and reveal the deeper motives behind the prize money and the ridiculous reasons to become a waitress post-fight. The stakes, as they say, have never been higher... or more bizarre.
For a PlayStation game from the late '90s, the graphics hold up reasonably well. The characters are well-designed, with vibrant colors and detailed animations. Think less 'realism' and more 'WOW, what a peculiar art style!' The backgrounds often reflect the goofiness of the premise, which adds a layer of charm. However, don't expect the level of polish you'd find in today's fighting games; this is a time capsule of a different era with a unique aesthetic that many will find nostalgic-or question why they even played it in the first place.
In summary, Advanced V.G. 2 is not the crowning jewel of 90s fighting games but is undeniably entertaining-if you're in the mood for something that combines campy storytelling with actual combat gameplay. It's a blend of martial arts mayhem and offbeat humor, like a bizarre dream you can't shake off but makes for a good laugh at a sleepover. If you're in the mood for an experience that's equally silly and serious, or you just want to know what it's like to dominate an all-female fighting tournament while serving up some hot meals, dive into Advanced V.G. 2. Just remember: don't take it too seriously, and definitely keep an eye on your clothes.
