Gameplay

Battle Orchestra is a side-scrolling 2D fighter staged over fully 3D rendered backgrounds, closer in spirit to Super Smash Bros. than a traditional one-on-one fighting game. The PS2 version supports up to four players via multitap, and every fighter carries two unique special attacks alongside Rumble, Endless, and Training modes. The PSP port plays solo or over local wireless and adds a 100-objective Missions mode.
