OK, so I use to say Breakers Revenge was the one to own. The additional character, and everything else was the same... so of course, go with Revenge.... WELL, I just did a side by side comparison of the two games and I feel like I made a hasty choice.
Breakers Revenge is very similar to Breakers, but it is different. For one, the difficulty has been tweaked and Revenge is much "cheaper" then the original. Rila comes to mind. Most characters will pummel you with Supers and pull of very cheap fireball victories... Also, the backgrounds have been changed in Revenge... Ever so slightly, but all are darker and more washed out looking.... Compare any, like Rila's who was in a great amazon scene in Breakers, now it is the same board, but it is so dark you miss all the cool details of the stage in Revenge. And Tia's stage looked tons better in the palette used in Breakers, it looks very washed out in revenge... most characters suffer the same problem, minus maybe Sho's background, which got a cool setting/rising sun.
Winning poses and before match shots are much cooler in Revenge, the hand drawn sketchy look is cool and gives it a nice feel....
The new character, Saizo, is unbalanced and is very powerful, and has some bizarre specials... I don't think he fits well in the game.
The intro has been tweaked, we no longer have the ghostly eyes from Breakers, now it is the same length but has a small interlude for Saizo.
The selection screen art was also updated and looks nicer in Revenge, but all and all pretty similar.
Anyway, there are differences between the two, and I actually think Breakers one is a little bit more fun to play. IT has the more colorful backgrounds that fit with the characters, less cheap play, better balance (due to Saizo not being in it)... and all over just feels a bit tighter to me.... Does anyone have an opinion on this? Maybe some other observations?
