Graphics-10
Oh yeah! It's like having an arcade in your room. Everything shines and looks totally detailed.

Sound/music-9 1/2
I really love the techno-Rock music, It's so rad! The sound fx are also great. The characters will speak during the fights, and that's cool. The announcer's voice is very deep.

Control-10
Perfect, now I know why they delayed the release.

Power-9 1/2
The artwork was shaded in pixel by pixel by beyond games' artist. The amount of detail is unbelivable. The backgrounds are excellently done, and every one is animated. Even when you hit your foe the background will move. Digitized actors, computer-rendered 3d models and stop- motion animation where used in this brutal and awesome fighter.

Fun factor-10
The game is killer in every sense of the word! Totally bad. Overall-99%

Quotes:

"Awesome codes make this game even better." Matt Simper

"The game is well rounded, and that's sometimes hard to find in vid-games...One of the best Jag games to date!." Wes Powell

"..UV uses standard fighting controls (yeah!), has both human and totally fictional characters, and sports one huge demon that you'll never tire of staring at. The locales in UV are hyper detailed, and so colorful, at times it's hard to belive."-Mr. Goo of Diehard Gamefan

"I was very impressed by the graphics of this title."

"One thing is for sure, you can smell the 64-bits of graphics dripping off the bottom of your display as you engage foes...This is a graphic masterpiece, as well as a crowning jewel for the Jaguar's 64-bit reputation of video superiority"

"There is no shortage of cool places to beat an opponent into oblivion. Some of the stages in this game are outright awesome...once again, an excellent graphic achievement"-Jason Streetz of EGM2
