Fate/Unlimited Codes is a 3D fighter from Capcom. This game is releasing to a relatively untapped genre on the PSP, but it is about to get a little more crowded with Tekken 6 and Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny.
Fate/unlimited is a weapons-based fighter, so each fighter has some sort of weapon, from swords, to guns, to grenades. The fighting mechanics are all very fluid, which is instantly noticeable upon your first play. The controls are very simple to get used too and are fully customizable to fit everyone’s particular play style. It is a 3D fighter so you can move in a 360 degree circle with the left and right bumpers controlling this range of movement.
The story for each fighter really is not all that engaging and at times can come off confusing, with characters talking about issues that have happened in previous tournaments; but they never really fully explaining them. It is interesting to see how each character deals with the thought of winning and who is in it for evil or for good. Unfortunately all of the stories only end up being played out over four cut scenes, which doesn’t quite offer enough depth to really explain the story line. Then again, fighting games usually don’t have the deepest of story lines.
