In this regard, I think I'm badly spoiled by the system in the last SmackDown game, which used the dual analog sticks to let you easily rotate the character models around all three axes. The ability to split up the screen into multiple preview windows helps somewhat, but I'd still rather be able to just move the camera around on the fly.
Furthermore, those controls make it difficult to view the model from a perspective that doesn't look straight down a particular axis. To move around the model being edited in any mode requires toggling out of the main editor (losing control over the task at hand) and switching over to a separate set of preview controls. The primary difficulty I found in every mode was the cumbersome preview control. Each has its own problems and limitations, but a few are common to all three. There are three main editing systems: the body editor, where you determine a fighter's appearance the sequence editor, where you assign move commands and chain moves together to create combos and the animation editor, the most complex of all, where you edit moves frame by frame to determine how they play out on screen.
There are some pre-created fighters to play with, but buying the game to just fiddle with the sample characters would be like buying a Corvette and never driving past the speed limit. It's a system for editing character models, move sequences, and animations, so as to allow the user to create characters for use in a pre-packaged 3D fighting engine. Gameplay A bit of a misnomer, that, because this is not a game. The results may be rewarding, but I personally can't predict what another gamer might get out of this one. You are warned, however, that it can be an extremely frustrating experience, limited by an occasionally backwards interface and clumsy preview controls. If you want to try and create a 3D fighting game without the benefit of a small fortune in computer equipment, software, and development licenses, this is what you want to get. So this is not so much a review as a collection of suggestions and advice.
