      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Based upon Capcom

    DVD Picture:
    The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits images that can be sharp and finely detailed, though sometimes images are softly focused. Colors are rich and nicely balanced, with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Contrast is nicely rendered, and with much of the picture taking place in dimly lit settings, shadow delineation is suitable for the storytelling. There is some edge enhancement, which can be bothersome, and pixelization is occasionally detected. (Suzanne Hodges)

    Soundtrack:
    The Dolby

    Reason #76 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    Our family has made a significant investment in a dedicated home theatre. Upon reading nearly every other home theatre publication, I have found that Widescreen Review has consistently provided us accurate reviews, and as such have built a substantial library of movies and equipment, which we consider “Keepers.” I find the equipment reviews, especially the Subwoofer Special Edition, to be right on the money and a must-have. The video equipment reviews (we are currently in the market for a front projector) are educationally based as well as comparatively based, so I learn about equipment in general while I can compare specifications. I thank you for a publication well worth the cover price issue after issue.
