great game, spectacular one-on-one battles with buddies (people REALLY get into this game when playing it). the career mode is lacking though: can't change anything about your fight entrances like you could before (no changing songs, no adding girls, no fireworks or doves or confetti or anything), after you win a title fight there isn't even a different animation showing you with the belt, etc.
still lots of fun though, i'd give it an 8.75 out of 10
