Product Description

Product Description

This game may start a renaissance in side-scrolling fighting games. Pick one of the four main characters and start in the single-player story mode. The plot is incidental to what this game is really about: 15 levels of street-fightin' fury. There are a variety of surrounding weapons to use, such as guns, blades, explosives--even car parts. An innovative rage meter fills as you take damage and can be used to unleash a torrent of rage on your foes. Some of the bosses you successfully overpower will unlock as playable characters. Best of all, with the separately sold Multi Tap accessory, your friends can join in for a four-way beatdown.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hey this game rocked , ALOT BETTER than Fighting force 1, November 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Gekido: Urban Fighters- Playstation PS, PS1, PSX- NEW (Video Game)

I'm going to keep this a minimium so this will be quick and Easy and sorry for the Bad Grammer

Controls:the where Quick and responsive, I liked the crounch button in this game, Fighting Force BUGGED ... me when I had to push the punch button and some Punk was kicking me in the teeth while I was trying to get the tire.

Graphics:I'm not VERY picky on the PSX graphics manly because the system is not capable of Dreamcast abilitys so here it, the Graphics look Nice and Gritty and they move ALOT faster Frame Rate than some of the older games, and I really LOVE the special effects in the game the make it nice when relaxing on the couch. but not as sharp as tony hawk, and some of the enimes look corny

Game play:this is what I like about this game. It's fastpaced, varity of enemies (more than Fighting force can manage), and alot of weapons, I like the speed of the game not so slow like the most other Final Fight games(even though capcom is one of the best of this genre), I like the Fact you can learn combos as you go along the way(how many brawlers even do combos).

Sound:the sound effects arn't really perfect(but how many games really have sound effects that are good) just normal sound

Bottom line:well if you're a causual normal gamer you MIGHT like it, if you're a more of the Die Hard fighting fan (capcom/namco/snk) you may want to stray away, run out and play a game of final fight 3 on the emulator or something, if you just like to beat the ... out of something and kill you'll like this game and probubly fighting force (1, never played 2) just to kill guys with weapons if you're not a picky person

3.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Game To Rent, March 19, 2002

This game was so fun! Me and my friend rented it for 2 days and had a blast. The reason why I put perfect game to "rent", was that on the second day we had almost won the game and was very bored of it. Very exciting for a couple of days, but I would reccommend only on renting. There is 4 characters to choose from, 1-4 players competitive or cooperative, and a power meter. Have some fun!
