If you die, you will become a Night Raider and travel through a forest to shoot at the monster until you can transform. In every 2 or 3 stages, you will face off against a boss (Dark Faust, Dark Mephisto or Dark Zagi).

If you thought Banpresto was done with the Ultraman thing after numerous videogame appearances from the license over the past few years, something is clearly wrong with you. Japan and Banpresto love their Ultraman, and that ensures a steady string of videogame adaptations, the latest being .

A one-on-one fighter like its predecessors, Fighting Evolution 3 brings back your favorite original 'Showa' generation Ultraman characters including Ultraman A, Ultraman Jack, Ultraman Leo, and Ultraman Taro and adds 'Heisei Ultraman' characters like Gaia and Cosmos. This will apparently let the kids (who were most likely born in Japan's 'Heisei' period) play along with their dads (who were most likely born in the 'Showa' period).

Modes of play include the expected Battle and Training Modes. The game also has a Custom Mode where you can customize special attacks for all the characters. A Tag mode allows for two versus one battles and an Ultra Mode has players work through missions in order to progress. Finally, there's a view mode designed for the real Ultraman fan who just loves to take extended looks at these masked kung fu warriors.

Ultraman Fighting Evolution 3 is due for Japanese PS2 release in December. An American release is not expected and will never happen.
