Project Justice

Project Justice is a 2000 3D fighting game created by Capcom for the arcade and the sequel to the 1997 Rival Schools: United by Fate. It would later receive a Dreamcast port the following year in 2001.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Five new characters are added to the roster, though technically its four since Chairperson had previously appeared as a NPC in both the original Rival Schools and its PS1 Japanese-only update.
 * 2) Instead of the tag team format seen in Rival Schools, a trio format is now used in Project Justice, in which a team of three fighters can now work together in battle, much akin to SNK's The King of Fighters series.
 * 3) Both the characters and the stages had received a huge graphical improvement via the NAOMI Arcade System.
 * 4) The speed of the gameplay has been greatly increased, along with a few new fighting tactics introduced in the game itself.
 * 5) Another awesome and memorable soundtrack.
 * 6) Even more remarkable and extraordinary artwork for the characters.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Both Sakura Kasugano and Raizo Imawano are the only two characters from the first game who aren't playable in the sequel due to their own reasons (Sakura getting involved in the events of Street Fighter and Raizo being seriously injured and hospitalized by the game's main antagonist Kurow Kirishima).
 * 2) In order to get the Gedo High School's good ending, the player must defeat Wild Daigo with a Party-Up technique. Failure to do so will lead to the bad ending in which Daigo succumbs to his own injuries and dies while success in doing this task will enable the player to save Daigo and get the good ending.
 * 3) Just like before with the PS1 international release of Rival Schools, the Dreamcast international release of Project Justice had removed the Nekketsu Seiysun Nikki mode, which this time around takes the form of a board game and that the player could create and use their own custom character to navigate it while meeting and encountering the cast, who are all participating and taking part in an inter-school festival.
