I do not know what kind of ritual I would need to perform to have this game able to be remastered and playable on modern hardware. This is a copyright minefield. But, this is a game that defined the era to me. The gameplay is easy to pick up, tons of great match types. If there's anyway to bring it back, we need to at least try.

I love this game, it would be freaking awesome to be able to play it on PC (without an emulator)! Music was good (as expected), lot of fighters/rappers available, the fighting mechanics were good.

One of the first games I played on Xbox. Man, it was long time ago. Bring back those memories. Nice matchups, nic story line. Danny Trejo is beast. Hiphop is not my kind of music, but I really enjoyed this one.

IDK why people don't have this higher up because I always wanted to play this game , because not just the story but i wanna customize my character & try it out . unfortunately there's a lot of gatekeeping & lack of sales or overpriced that is stopping me from doing so i would be happy to play this

Long story short. It's not just my favorite game in the series and some of my favorite rappers and soundtracks that make this game so special for me, even if the legendary rapper DMX is unfortunately missing from this part. As a teenager, it even helped me manage my anger issues. It helped better than the anti-aggression training. In my opinion it is the best hip-hop fighting game of all time. There is no comparable game that showcases hip-hop so perfectly. Story, music, rappers, gameplay, even the customization options and clothing are on Point.

I have a PS2 and only have this game for it. I played this game as a 15 year old kid with all my friends and I still love playing this game. I’ve been it 100 times and it never gets old. It’s an absolute classic and everyone I ever talk to about it agrees it’s one of the best fighting games ever made.

With the help of a digital Sora, recreated from the Journal's code, they start exploring the Worlds in the journal to reveal what is missing. Leveling-up and gaining abilities in done by installing chips and unlocking Support Abilities and Command and Accessory expansions in the Stat Matrix. The Matrix also includes Cheat Tuners that are used to change gameplay elements such as game difficulty, item drop rates, etc. In addition to the regular Action RPG elements from the Kingdom Hearts series, the game includes gameplay elements from other genres. In some Worlds or Boss battles the game mechanics change completely. Some are Side-scrolling or third-person shooter levels, and even turn-based RPG.
