Mostly it's just really uneven and kinda mediocre. There's so much worse on the PS2 tbh.
I don't know if this came before or after everyone suddenly decided the original was a "bad" game; but that and the critical thrashing of other brawlers then (remember God Hand?) probably didn't help.
That's a reason AB is so fascinating. It's an odd orphan stuck between the era of Rolling Thunder/Shinobi and the later "standard" established console platform game genres.
It's kind of weird how big it was at the time for being such an oddball; but there was also nothing else much like it either.
