Overview

Vs. (also known as Versus) is a 3D fighting game developed by Polygon Magic (Company) and published by THQ (Company) for the Sony PlayStation on November 3, 1997 (in North America) and June 1998 (in Europe). Built on the same game engine as Taito's earlier Japanese-exclusive game Fighters' Impact, Vs. is known for its attempt to appeal to the North American audience with "gang"-themed character designs based on four different cliques (from the city streets to the college campus) and a licensed soundtrack (with a mix of electro-industrial, punk rock, and ska music).
