The main obvious point of the game is to con people. You either bet yourself, act like the loser, and when the bet starts, you make a huge comeback. Or "take a dive", where you bet on your opponent, act like a winner, and when the bet starts, purposely lose yourself without making the con meter thumbs down, or you're gonna taste the beatdown of the crowd and gives you few injuries.

It was first released on North America on October 18 2005, then on Japan on February 23 2006, Australia in March 29 2007, and Europe on the next day after Australia.

The main plot is about the player gets out of the prisoner transport vehicle and uncuffed by the guard. Then he gave the player a business card from Kuro, but he throw it off and followed Reina instead. Reina then teaches the player how fight opponents, con people's money, and pureposely lose for the sake of money. After that, the player confronted Reina and told her He/She's done. Reina then replied that she owns the player, which leads to the player challenging Reina in the Junkyarf, but unfortunately, she was shot by the van driver. The player then soon recruits two random fighters to create a team and make it to the Big Time tournament to find out the real perpetrator behind Reina's death.

The game has a mixed reception in few days after its released, but despite that, it's considered as a hidden gem for some people.
