Give me Final Fight Back!

1 Rating: 1, Useful: 4 / 4
Date: December 28, 1999
Author: Amazon User

I received this game for a gift, and didn't have the foresight to read someone's review about it before I actually opened the plastic! If this is your situation (but you haven't opened it) then STOP and return it! I would've rather played Final Fight for the Super Nintendo! At least in that game you can see what is going on clearly. This has to be one of the worst games I have ever played. There is really no strategy, there is TONS of backtracking to parts of levels you thought you'd beat, but then more enemies just appear, and the game just isn't any fun. Also, it was pretty dumb to not make the game for any more than one player at a time, with multiplayer this horrible game might at least be bearable for five minutes. I'm almost ashamed to own this game!

Boring and limited compared to others on the market.

Unless you are about 5 years of age and have no concept of quality/fun/gaming, I'd not recommend this game. It gets boring after about 5 minutes. Even the intro was terrible. The story line was stupid, and all in all, I'd give this game a big zero. The graphics are decent, but the boredom and useless factor weigh against anything relevant. If you would like to check it out anyway, I'd recommend you rent it first. Who knows, a few people may enjoy it.

Get Dynamite Cop instead

This game has absolutly no fun factor. You'll play it once and then throw it away. The graphics are an example of sega rushing to make a game during the early days of Dreamcast.
There are only 3 characters and their moves a very weak. The magican isn't even able to cast any spells. He can not turn enemies into cats, frogs, etc.

Spend your money on Dynamite Cop instead.

not worth your time

This qualifies as the worst game available for Dreamcast currently. It spins, it swirls, it will make you throw up after causing your head to circle and circle and circle and circle.

There's no redeeming quality to this game at all.

Steer very clear.

Grotesque, stumbling main characters.

Ugh. Not only is the point of view confusing, but the main characters stumble around and don't want to go in the direction you want them to. It's almost impossible to keep them from walking into a wall every time they change direction. If it weren't for the hand in the top corner pointing direction, you'd never get anywhere. As it is, sometimes the hand makes you stumble around in circles.

No soul or fighting

- Confusing camera: in a third person game, the camera is suppose to be directly and above the character. In this game, it's everywhere BUT third person

- Simple fighting combos: punch, punch, kick, taken straight from Dynamite Cop. You can use a sword or axe but only for limited time before it disintegrates. Must have bought them at a garage sale or something.

- Lame graphics: I've never seen a world so shiny and bright. I take it the game designers never heard of atmosphere or mood lighting. Also the characters were taken out of some cheesy 50's horror flick, and move just as badly!

- Sound: Imagine cheesy disco music combined with cheesy pop music. I'd rather listen to that combination from hell then the soundtrack to this game. And the worst part is, you can't shut off the music! What's the point in having an options screen if you can't turn off the music. Plus, if you stay still for 3 seconds, Sean Connery (well someone one sounds somewhat like Sean, maybe his brother Earl) starts yelling "Go!" repeatly and incessantly.

All together you have a game with bad music, bad controls, bad graphics, bad special effects, uh, do you think I used the word "bad" enough?

I thought Dynamite Cop was awful after I finished the entire game in 20 minutes, but I'd rather take 20 minutes of beating up pirates then Earl Connery shouting at me.

SOULESS..save your $$$$

i'm sorry but this game is so lame, it makes fighting force 2 look like METAL GEAR. this is what happens when programmers rush a game in time for the holidays. let's see...poor character design, dark & dull graphics, a corny repetitive soundtrack and not to mention the lame ass sean connery impersonation..("GO!")

I HAD WAY MORE FUN PLAYING GAURDIAN HEROES for the defunct SEGA SATURN than this 128 bit mess. if sega releases more crap like SOUL FIGHTER, the DC may die a horrible death, just in time for sony's playstation 2. but luckly that is not the case, cause RE; CODE VERONICA, LEGACY OF KAIN, CARRIER & ZOMBIE REVENGE is on it's way. THANK GOD!

avoid this game at any cost, at least it makes a great coaster or even a mini frisbee..

The makers of SoulFighter need professional therapy

The makers of Soul Fighter really crossed the line as far as i'm concerned. This is by far one of the worst games i've ever played in my life. Graphics and music don't mean everything (And neither one of those were thoroughly impressive). First and formost, if i wanted to get a dizzy spell, i could just as easily run outside and spun in circles and saved myself about 50 dollars. Then you have to listen to the same old music over and over and over (get the point?). And lets not even get into the fun factor of this game. This is one of the first games i've ever played where i took it back only hours afterward. Some might say that i should have given it more time. Trust me. It didn't deserve the small amount of time i gave it. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Nice graphics but terrible controls

What looks to be an entertaining fighting game is hindered by awkward and edgy controls. You have a choice of selecting 1 of 3 characters each with their own unique fighting styles. Although each fighter is quite fluid in their movements, controlling them so that they hit their target is not quite as intuitive. Button mashing will only create frustration since most moves are made of a sequences - the character will initiate each move accordingly and until he/she is finished you may end up facing a wall with your targets behind you. You can change the view from 1st person to more of an overhead - 1st person is nice if you need to target a long distance enemy or figure out distance for longer weapons (swords). Button mashing will not work as intuitively as most fighting games. Although it isn't unusual to face one enemy at a time, it also isn't out of the ordinary to be bombarded by two or three enemies attacking in what seems like at the same time. Learning to control movement so that you are facing the target will prove to be the largest obstacle. Once you figure that out you can get your character to do a number of very useful and interesting moves. Two different modes will determine whether you have more than one life to lose or see how long you can last with one life option (Adventure mode). The game can be highly frustrating and tends to be more eye candy than entertaining.
