I love this old game but, IT DIDN'T HAVE 2 PLAYERS!!!
Story: 8/10
- The storyline is pretty good to me. The game is set in the fictional American city of Metro City "sometime in the 1990s". The story centers around the kidnapping of the newly-elected Mayor's daughter, Jessica, by the dominant street gang in the city known as Mad Gear, which seeks to bring the Mayor under their control. The Mayor, a former pro wrestler named Mike Haggar, refuses to give in to the gang's demands and sets out to rescue his daughter with the help of her boyfriend, a martial artist named Cody.
Gameplay: 9/10
- The gameplay is fine for a beat-em-up game! Final Fight is a classic side scrolling beat-em-up game. 1 player character move from left to right through each level (most of which are split into 3 or more scenes), fighting with the enemy characters who appear, until reaching a confrontation with a stronger boss character at the end of the level. Once that boss is beaten, the player automatically moves on to the next stage. Enemies appear from both sides of the screen and from out of doorways or entrances set into the background, and the player must defeat all of them to progress. If the player tries to be lazy and just simply travel through the levels without fighting, the screen will stop scrolling until all current enemies have been defeated, before allowing the players to continue to progress. Enemies may move outside the confines of the screen, but the player may not. There is a time limit to each stage.
Graphics: 9/10
- The graphics are so nice and superior! I do not know how, this being one of the first Super Nintendo games, can have such amazing graphics! So the graphics are spectacular overall.
Sound: 9/10
- The sound effects of the game are good. You got to love those old karate yells! The music is very nice. They must of worked really hard on all the music, because their is not a single bad track in the game!
Overall, I give this game an 8 1/2 out of 10. Man, I would have rated this game higher if it just had 2 Players up there! I know that the second sequel, Final Fight 3 has the 2 Players because I rented it 12 years ago and played it with a cousin, which makes me want that game so bad now!
