Again, it's nothing that will hold your attention beyond the point where you realize pretty much every single one of the game's 90 or so characters plays more or less the same way – with even flashy special attacks essentially putting on different nametags and then saying, “No, no. You know, mop the floor with one character, then put your fistic janitorial prowess to the test against a slightly tougher fighter, and so on and so on. The only other single-player mode – aside from tutorial and training – is a long-form take on an arcade mode. In theory, it sounds like a perfect blend of fan-pandering and addictive character-tweaking, but sadly, the museum's stock of still images is about as exciting as a convenience store postcard rack, and customizing your character doesn't alter the underlying combat enough to prevent it from quickly devolving into rote repetition.

In the end, Galaxy Mode boils down to a series of challenges – for instance, smash this guy until his body is composed of over 9000 bone fragments in under 60 seconds – with rewards that range from new attacks and stat boosts to images and things of the like for perusal in the game's museum.

This time around, the game's single-player story – known as Galaxy Mode – cuts out cutscenes altogether, essentially reducing the plot down to “Man/robot/alien 1 is angry. Above: A tale of souls and hair that's sharper than swords, eternally retold
