Now, I'm normally not a graphics whore, but oh my God, these are the most impressive graphics I've seen in a fighting game since Soul Calibur for the Dreamcast (Funny, how that game was from Namco, too). The backgrounds, character models, scenery, EVERYTHING in this game just has you going "humina humina humina," as you watch the details stream past you seamlessly."
