Toshinden is the ultimate battle of the underworld. Some have come to fight for glory, others for more personal reasons, but they all have come to see who is the best. In Battle Arena Toshinden the odds are against you, but with time and practice you too can rule the underworld.

The overall look and feel of fighting games is changing, and Toshinden is just another example of the evolution of video games. This game takes 3D fighting to the next level with the addition of lateral movements around a 3D field. What this means is that when you press one of the top left or right buttons your character spins in the appropriate direction to either side of your opponent. This enables you to avoid ANY attacks if you time your movements perfectly.

Toshinden is a benchmark in fighting games not only because it excels in graphics and sound but in play control as well. Battle Arena Toshinden’s use of over 90,000 polygons not only shows off the PlayStation’s graphic capabilities, but reminds us what 32-bit gaming is all about – fun and entertainment. The true name of the game.
