Three words: OMG!!!

User Rating: 9.5 | Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari NES
This is probably the greatest beat-em' up of all time! It had awesome controls, great gameplay, and great multiplayer.

Story: It's a NES game. Nobody really cares about the story. But it's not bad. So your this guy (sorry i can't remember the characters' names right now) whos girlfriend is kidnapped by a street gang and you and your friend must beat your way through mutliple gangs to get you girl back.

Gameplay: This beat-em up is a little different from your average beat-em up. For one it's not that linear. Second, it has RPG elements to it. You got the stores to by new moves, healing items and other stuff with the money you got beating the crap out of people. So there is something for everyone in this game.

Controls: Well you simplely move your D-pad in the direction you want to go and use the a and b button to punch, kick, and jump.

con: the only flaw with this game is THE PASSWORD! It's awful! it's 60 FREAKIN" CHARACTERS LONG!!! but that isn't bad but pretty annoying. and the game is pretty unappreciated. it was over looked and forgotten.

Overall: This is an awesome beat-em' up a lot of people will enjoy. So pleas Nintendo, PLEASE PUT IS GAME ON THE VC.

BARF!
