     > Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram (VOOT) is the sequel to the hit arcade/Sega Saturn game, Virtual-On. Set in the far future as was its predecessor, robots titled, "Virtuaroids" are used by companies to battle for control of major industrial plants in order to strengthen strategic positions. 
     > Running on 2 Model 3 Step 2 boards, the graphics of this game are pure sweetness. From the sparks of the weapon clashes, to the explosions, to the battlefield, everything is detail, detail, and more detail. Although some of the character designs have questionable balance, they each have advantages and disadvantages to help equal out the fighting. Good thing there is not a character you can use to win every time.
     > The Dreamcast version will feature all the graphics and gameplay of the arcade's version 5.4 update.  If the conversion from arcade to the Dreamcast is flawless, or even a bit off of flawless, prepare to be impressed.  Considering the fact it's a fighter, import fans should have an easy time with VOOT once it arrives.

FIRST IMPRESSION:
     > With great graphics, involving gameplay, and online support, this game is set to be one of the most popular multiplayer/network games available on a home console.
Potential: 9+
