Since Secret Level helped to develop this game in tandem with Capcom Studio 8, I hope that the Golden Axe remake won't be as rough as this one. After spending years intimidating local gangs, the Travers brothers have cleaned up their neighbourhood and brought peace to the surrounding areas. It's almost like a bad parody of Final Fight, from the overuse of profanity (and no, I'm not a prude) and the proliferation of gay guys trying to come on to Kyle in the alleys to the beer signs for Cammy's Cannon Spike Beer in the pool hall that show Cammy's buttocks. Based on the classic franchise, Final Fight: Streetwise will take players back to Metro City for the first time since the Sega Saturn days. I think the fact that you have to quit the game to save makes it so difficult. And I do agree with the maddening difficulty level. There is a variety of moves, but it seems to be a constant hit X, X, X, A type of game (or some variation thereof). I agree that it's a decent beat-em-up game as long as you try to distance it from Final Fight in your conscious mind while you play it. The game is fun, although a bit rough looking, but the constant button mashing on the Xbox Controller-S made me switch to a PlayStation 2 controller passed through a PS2-to-Xbox converter. I finally opened the Xbox version of this game after picking it up from the value bin at Sears for $9.99. Sometimes a game doesn't have to be high brow in order to be fun. The fact it has an active story to follow is actually kind of cool too. now I'm discovering I really like this game, and not just because I'm a Beat 'em Up fan needing a new fix either.Īnyone else like the game? Or is the consensus more or less the same across the web for the hatred towards it? I found when I stopped trying to compare it to the timeless original, the game works for me. I had played about 20 minutes of it when FFSW first came out and quickly dissmissed it, along with all the other reviewers of the game.

but for the $9.99 I purchased the game for brand new a few days ago, I'd say it's worth every penny.

I'm not much for 3-D Beat 'em Ups really, and was dissapointed all to hell with "Urban Reign's" apporach to the genre. Freggin' time limit is pissing me off, but in spite of all this I'm having a blast playing this game. I'm currently stuck on the level where you have to fight your way out of Guy's Dojo that is burning to the ground.
