This game is the pits

Pit Fighter has to be the worst fighting game of all time. First of all, the graphics are really crappy. Everything has a grainy look to them, and the fighters don't even have faces! The music (if you want to call it that) is annoying and keeps repeating itself throughout the game. The way the fighters sound is pathetic as well. They all sound like they're choking on something when they are attacking. The animation in this game is choppy (seems to move at 1/2 frame a second) and its common for characters to just "glide" across the screen without moving their feet. Sometimes the enemies slam you without even showing an animation for it, you just somehow land on your back. But the worst thing about Pit Fighter is the awful gameplay. The controls are unresponsive and the collision detection is out of wack, as attacking enemies is a matter of luck and not skill. You have a choice to play as 3 different fighters that each have their own special moves but they all control like crap. If all of what I mentioned about this game seems like fun to you, then go ahead and torture yourself by playing it. Otherwise stay clear of this PITiful game.

Great for the arcade, a breeze for the SNES

You first selects as one of three pit fighters to compete against a slew of amazing brutal pit fighters (a whole 7). This is your normal fighting game, no blood, no fatalities, the only difference is that there is more of a playing field, you can move around the total pit, rather than just moving left and right on a platform like other fighting games. There are pretty simple moves, punches, kicks, sweeps, yada yada, which make the game get old really quick. The only good thing about the game is its huge challenge and special rounds, such as when you must fight tigers! Rent it, don't buy it.

Too slow, it's almost too simple

Pit Fighter for it's time was a good game. But even with games of it's time, it wasn't as great (this game came out in 1991). you could only be 3 characters, all of which were fairly decent and more or less the same with the addition of a few moves and subtraction of a few moves.

The only thing that really held this game up was it's challenge, it's bonus rounds and it's easy play. It was almost too easy at times. Plus you could use the entire screen to fight a match instead of scrolling left and right. It might not be worth buying because it gets real old real quick so maybe rent this one first.
