What's Up: The truth is the original may have only been released as a way of packaging a Final Fantasy VII demo YEARS ago. But this sequel is one of the best fighting games ever made, and just about nobody has played it. Along with a great fighting engine, the game has an adventure mode unlike anything you've ever seen before, with hundreds of enemies to do battle with. Since it will never be released in the U.S., and likely never to be continued, Tobal 2 is one game to get, especially if you have your PlayStation chipped.

How Cool Are You: Damn cool! That's right, if you know anything about Square or import video games, it's that Tobal 2 is one of the best. There are hundreds of characters to play in the vs. mode, and an adventure that still has me going back four years later. It's not worth the most of all the collectibles, but frankly the game has a sentimental value to me. Among Square fans you'll be amazed how accepted this game is.

*Prices for games and collectibles has been known to fluctuate wildly. What's more, this article was written in 2001, so any number of factors could sink or improve its value. I hope you enjoy the article, but hope you won't take the prices too seriously.)
