The Rave move of the first game, which sped up your fighters moves and made it harder for an opponent to get a punch in, has been removed. The game also moves at a speedier clip, so combos and morph moves occur in the blink of an eye. Special moves look snappier, the combos are slicker, and the backgrounds are eye-catching without being distracting. On the other hand, Bloody Roar II improves on the original, using much smoother and more realistic graphics.
The boar, fox, and gorilla from the first game are gone. You still have your choice of some of the best fighters of Roar along with the addition of a bat, leopard, chameleon, insect, and half-beast. On the one hand, Bloody Roar II continues the one-on-one fighting style of the original, featuring human players that morph into ass-kicking animals during a match.
