change can be good and bad May 30, 2008
Those who have played Bloody Roar in the past and liked it, may or may not like this one. It keeps some of the game play in there but enough was changed that it seems that it could have been its own series. The voice acting/ synch is still horrible, and some of the characters voices are different from the previous- and for the worse. They added more blood, lots more. They also modified character movemen, for me it was easier to handle as long as I didn't play 3 before switching to 4. There is still much room for improvement (mainly in the story line movies). The story is choppy, they expect you to know what all is going on and some how the characters that were looking for answers got their answer and understood what was being said, even when they weren't given any information. I'm sorry that we had rush you and make you fight seemed to be the answer to everyones problems. It's a good thing that I don't play fighting games for story, for playability. This one is easy to play and pick up on. Just, can't something be done about Mana's voice. And if you like stories, forget it. It has great gameplay, and lots of blood. That is really all. I just wish that if they put so much time into translating the movies to english, that they would fix up the synchronization of the clips. Here's an even better idea: just leave it in Nihon (Japanese) but put in subs. Just hope they don't screw that up.

The Bloody Roar series has always been fun and unique. It has also been rated T in the past. This rating allows many people to enjoy the game. The mature rating surprised me and then I plugged it in I understood why it was rated M. The blood factor in this game detracts from the gameplay. Yes there was blood in the other games but it wasn't so overdone and you could turn it off. The blood in this game borders on the grotesque and twisted. It splatters everywhere with so many attacks it is almost comical. What attacks in beast mode don't make the blood splatter? The characters are cool but getting past the overuse of the blood is hard to do. This coupled with the fact that there are few improvements in the new game earn it a low rating.
A great game in the series...but nothing spectacular June 17, 2004

Bloody Roar 4 is actually the 5th bloody roar game (6th if you count the arcade game Beastorizer) to be released. There was Bloody Roar, and Bloody Roar 2 for the Playstation, Bloody Roar 3 for PS2, Bloody Roar Primal Fury for Gamecube, and now Bloody Roar 4 for PS2. And while it is a great game, I'm just not so sure that it deserves five stars.
Unlike Bloody Roar 2, there is no real story version. (even though the story version in Bloody Roar 2 was kind of weak, it was kind of a cool premise) Granted the arcade version does lead you through a bit of story at the end, but it is long, drawn-out, and slightly confusing/anti-climactic.
On the otherhand, BR4 does have the career option, which gives you an arcade fighter meets RPG type of feel where you earn DNA points, and can buy extra activities to better your character (who you can later play in the other battle modes...similar to the Weapon's expert of Soul Calibur 2).
BR4 does introduce a few new characters, but the only one of mention is Nagi, the female psuedo-counterpart to Xion, the unborn. (Although I have NO IDEA what she is supposed to be...and calling her "the spurious" doesn't help that matter) The new character that is a duo, with a big guy and really tiny girl (who changes into a dog), is hard to play, and easy to beat...not an exciting addition. The crow is OK, but in my opinion doesn't compare to the phoenix/penguin combination (yes, this was just one character) of BRPF.
There are 5 characters to unlock, which is cool, but I know that at least 2 of them are repeat characters from previous games (I won't say who). The career mode seems to be where you unlock all of the characters (so far I've unlocked 4 there)...based on how many DNA points you have for ONE character.
All in all, the game is a must buy for Bloody Roar fans, and a should buy for any arcade fighting game fans. It delivers interesting characters, good animation, (bad dubbing), and a nice challenge.
Bloody Roar 4- PS2 Review January 18, 2004
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
"Bloody Roar 4"....It is definately a game that fans will most likely appreciate a little more than someone who has first laid eyes on it. However, I personally became interested in this series in the third edition. Mind you that the third Bloody Roar is far less in superiority to Bloody Roar 4 in many ways. I was attracted to the game's original theme of humans being an alter ego of something else (i.e: Bakuryu: -The Mole-, Xion: -The Unborn-)And THAT is why it is seperated from the other fighting games. It is this theme that you should decide is right for you, and not the "Superiority" in the commericialized games like "Tekken 4", and "Soul Calibur". This game has more of a unrealistic, cartoonish theme. Yet it still posseses the nobility of a story to ponder. I'm pretty sure the creators of this series are obviously focusing on this original theme more than anything else to stay in the competition. So, I repeat: The THEME is what you should ponder. The modes are basically the same as any other fighting game, so realisticaly....look at the only difference that makes this game stand out, or look for another game. It's what will make or ruin this game/series for you. And I can promise you, they're probably not planning on changing it. To do so would be stupid.

Bloody Roar 4 is a great game. But if you don't like blood then don't get this. This game is fast and fun. If you are a bloody roar fan you know the games are great. It has all your fav characters from the other ones. Activision made the other bloody roars, but this time Konami made it. So that may be way they have the new "Zoanthropes Guage" thingy. There are three new characters, Ryoho & Mana, Reiji, and Nagi. Besides the bad voice overs the story line is good. You may not understand some stuff at first but once you play with all the characters you start to understand it better. At first the game looks easy but then it gets harder and harder after every battle. So I say if you get over the voice for Uriko you can start to love it.
