You must have played countless 3D fighting games, but have you ever tried the Con? Everyone is used to the one-on-one clichéd fighting concept, but the Con has something unexpected. We are talking about its betting concept, which definitely makes this game standout.
While it is a standard 3D fighting game with an outstanding concept, you might have to deal with some flaws. The player is required to build up his/her team by employing three fighters and later managing them. You have to make several attempts to rise to “the big time” through street fighting ranks. Being on top is an indescribable feeling and you’ll get there by winning the fights.
The gameplay also includes earning and holding up a large chunk of cash, without which getting to the top is completely impossible. Betting on the fights is the only way to earn money. Before every fight the odds for each player will be displayed. The odds can also be pumped in the either direction, as the odds change during the fight. Apart from the cash you’re also struggling hard to earn respect and this is only possible by vanquishing your enemies. You will also come across a story in the story mode, but it’s so monotonous that it’s better to ignore it.
As an action packed title, it is admittedly exciting and fun to begin with, but once you get the hang of it, it won’t remain that exhilarating. The Con (PSP) only gives you the authority for swaying and ducks, which really limits the fun and interactivity. As you progress, you can utilize the combos involved by editing them and converting them into longer and more damaging ones. On defense you only have ability of dodging attacks or using R trigger to counter them. While the game does something unique and never before seen in other fighting titles, it also comes up short in the terms of the actual fighting gameplay. So it could be worth a try if the concept interests you, but otherwise stay away.
