Pretty much a punch to the ballz!
You can tell this game will suck just by looking at the title screen. Theres nothing to give it the cool factor and it only includes a one and two player option. Upon the starting the game, I'm greeted by a yellow fat guy (and his two yellow chicks, one of which is half snake and half zebra for some reason) who says "I am Mondu the Fat Lord of the Fight Palaces. Remember, only in victory will you gain the key to the soul each fighter. Prepare to fight." I'm gonna guess that that is our premise for the day. Then we get into the game, which looks like crap. The graphics I'll admit aren't too, but they're bland and uninspired. This game fells like it should have been on the TurboGrafx-16. Next theres the control, which is utter crap. You move around sluggishly and you jump like you have something chained to your ankles. Another thing worth mentioning is the hit detection, which is almost non-existent. I keep throwing punches at the other guy and he doesn't even seem to be hurt. During the game I pressed one of the buttons and a metal platform with spikes on the bottom appeared above my opponent, disabling his ability to jump (this would actually be cool if it was in a good game). Another thing is that every time you hit your opponent, you gain more money which you use to buy upgrades at the shop between fights where you things such as more health and special abilities, but the thing is that you hold your money in a "fight purse" (I'm dead serious). Also when you win the fight, a giant fish swims toward your opponent and eats him alive, even though the fish is swimming through solid ground.
For the entire game you play as Rex, a generic fighter dude who wars nothing but black shorts, a red belt, no shirt, has his hair in ponytail, and has a mexican mustache (okay maybe not that generic, but still generic). My first opponent is an exact clone of Rex, except he's blue. My next opponents are Edwina, who is a chick with a red mohawk and wears a black leather bodysuit. Guano, a gargoyle who is uninteresting. Bonapart, a skeleton and the only character in this game who's name is a pun. Robochic, a robot chicken no resemblance to a chicken. Stump, who looks like a punk version of Slimer from Ghostbusters. Ramses, a goat man with boxing gloves. Webra, a spider woman. M C Fire, another clone of Rex except pinkish purple. Sheba, a clone of Edwina. Weezil, a clone of Guano. Skinny...you know what you can guess what I'm gonna say. In fact most of the opponents after Webra are clones of the earlier fighters. The only difference is different colors and stats.
After fighting through of those posers, we finally get to Mondu (who strangely has a mouth on his stomach and one of the grossest attacks in video games) is one of the worst bosses in video game history. I beat this guy with only 18 punches with me only taking 2 hits. What a load.
All in all, this is a crappy game and should be avoided like the black plague. I've played some pretty bad games, but this is a disappointment because I wanted to like this. Oh well, just another crappy fighting game to throw into the trash.
Pros: Can't think of any
Cons: Bland graphics, sluggish controls, poor AI, and no save feature.
Grade: F -
