Eternal Champions is an awesome game. Not quite as mind-blowing as the Sega CD sequel, but awesome nonetheless. It has the same basic foundation as Street Fighter II, but this is far from being a clone. The general flow of combat feels totally different and you aren't allowed to spam special moves. And my favorite part - it features some hilariously sadistic fatality moves. The fighting engine is solid, and it's a shame that Sega attempted to sell it as off as a hyper violent game in the wake of Night Trap and MK hysteria. I do think that it got nowhere near the attention it deserved because people dismissed it as another Time Killers or a generic SF2 clone with blood. Their loss!
The game overall looks great. The characters are big for a 16-bit game and they're well animated, and everything is well colored. It does look a bit rough on modern screens though - there are quite a few faked transparencies that look like checkboard patterns, but on a CRT (or a good CRT shader) it looks really nice. Just be warned, the computer is brutal. If you don't anticipate its moves and get caught in one of its combo or corner traps, you probably won't survive it. Excellent otherwise, though. I love the title screen music!
