Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance

Some aspects of this game are not that bad

Beatdown: Fist of Vengeance has been one of the games that many had high expectation for. The repetitiveness and poor AI has dragged what should of been a hit to a mediocre title.

Graphics
Some of the graphics in this game has been very well done. In particular the character models, facial expressions are as good as they get on the PS2.

Concept
On paper this game sounded like a hit. Unfortunately it was very poorly executed the core of the problem I believe is that it is too repetitive. 10 minutes into the game and 10 minutes from completing the game does not feel all that different.

Sound
Again far to repetitive, the characters voice dialogue is restricted to less than half a dozen phrases. Having to battle at least 50 different people makes it awfully repetitve.
