I imported this game and am glad I did. Who cares that I can not read the cut scenes, you don't play a game like this for the story. This game has an unlock feature that grants you secrets the more you play. You get 2 extra fighters, 4 extra colors for outfits, level select, and up to 9 lives. These unlock very quickly and are not much of a challenge to get. Controls are tight and graphics are very good. Great color use, but might be too dark. I'd say this is my fav GBA game. Like I said mindless fun. It also has muliple difficulty settings, easy, normal, hard, very hard and super hard.

Final Fight on GBA? Unbelievable!

Remember original Final Fight on the arcade and the SNES? Well, Capcom did it again! Youhou! Being 23 years these days I really don't give damn about whether people think I'm still a kid playing Final Fight on my GBA. This game makes me nostalgic because it reminds me of the early 90's - then I was still 13 - when I started going to arcades. FF was one of the best two-players beat-them-all of these times. Concurrently, Nintendo was doing great in the world of video gaming with the SNES. Capcom decided to release the game - Final Fight Guy - on the console, but unfortunately it was a failure in my opinion since it was only a one-player game and worse, one of the characters was missing.

Capcom didn't leave the series (after FF Guy) to rest by releasing Final Fight 2 and Final Fight, which both added the two-players mode and the 3rd character. However, the two sequels were still missing a few features present in the arcade version. They were not massive hits but they sure satisfied the FF desire.

Now, Final Fight - Final Fight One - is making a come back on the GBA, which is definitely going to be a promising hit this time. The portable version of this game will be a direct translation from the arcade version with all the missing characters, bosses and levels now all fully intact, which are excellent news to fans of the original FF like me.

In case you are not familiar with the FF genre, the game - as one of the three selectable characters - consist of kicking everyone's ... and of cleaning the streets up of the massive saturation of Mad Gear gang members, as the leader has kidnapped the mayor's daughter. Using brute force, you have to mop up the floor with these guys in order to advance through the city. And at the end of each level, there'll be a big fat *ss waiting for you and it'll be up to you to beat the ... out of him. However, the game involves some strategies if you don't want to finish off all your lives and continues, so don't just use your special attack because this consumes stamina and be careful when there are a lot of enemies on screen and mainly when fighting the bosses.

The game is also a two-players game (via the link cable), which is the whole point of a FF game. You get to choose one character amongst the 3 selectable ones. Each of them have their own style of attacks and special moves, so choose wisely to make a perfect team of FF fighters to make your way through the Metro City streets. The only downside of the two-players game is that each player must have his own cartridge to play the game. But who cares it's Final Fight guys!!! It's a must to have whether you are new to the genre or a fan like me. Just BUY IT as soon as it's out on the 28th September.

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED! Just buy the game or sell your GBA!

Hurray for Retro

Finally this game reaches us in all of its arcade glory! This is a classic beat um up, punch um, make um fall down and dissapear game. One of the favorites in the arcades for its time, it's great. You chose between one of three guys, enter the streets and go at it. No need to think or read. Just hit punch and knock out. Everyone who remembers this game should get it. If you are a fan of Double Dragon or Streets of Rage this is a must have. Younger gamers may not enjoy this as much as old schoolers however.

YES!! You can use the EXACT Street Figther Apha Guy and Cody!!! After beating about 50 enermies, you unlock the secret and can use the Street Figther Apha Guy and Cody (by pressing left/right in character select)!! Looked exactly like it!! Made the game easier because they are stronger! Besides, the dialogue is way funny!! Apha Guy was talking to bosses like, "What am I doing here?? This is 1986?!" AS IF he went back to the past!!

I remember when I first got my Super NES in 1991, Final Fight was the first game I played. It was the game I played the most, I couldn't stop playing it! Before then, I had never played the arcade version, so I didn't know there was a character missing, a stage missing, and these two girl enemies were replaced with these weird male characters. When I finally DID the play the arcade version, I saw Guy and went "Who is THAT? He wasn't in the SNES!" So I picked Guy, and I thought he was awesome. He could do wall jumps, and he was really fast. After that, I had second thoughts about the Super NES version. When I heard that FF was being re-released for GBA, and it was gonna have all three characters, a two player mode, AND the missing stage, I had jumped at the chance and bought it. This game is a timeless classic. Guy can kick anyone's [butt], 'cause he's a ninja, and he can do wall jumps. Cody is my second favorite. Haggar is really too slow! Guy is the best character in my opinion, and I've beaten the game at least 5 times with him. I highly recommend this classic to everybody.

A must have for any all school figthing fan!!

Final Fight was a huge hit many years back. The original featured Haggar and Cody, busting up guys on the streets of Metro City. This version for Game Boy Advance, features another controlable character; Guy, all the levels of the original, (plus the forgotten level), and a feature that keeps tabs on the number of guys you kill. As the total gets higher and higher, you can accumulate cheat options. The game itself features excellent graphics, great play control, a standard beat-em-up game design, good music and sound, and more thugs than you can shake a fist at. The action is fast paced and constant. You'll enjoy this if you're a fan of the arcade version, or just someone with anger management problems looking to relieve some stress.

Final Fight One was a popular arcade game back in the days. I played it a lot back in jounior high school. Even now, this game is still lots of fun! This GBA port is perfect!
The graphics are SUPER, just like the arcade, very colorful and detailed. The characters/enemies are big and very detailed. The sound and music is great. The sound/music test is sweet, you can trip people out in class or during work! I love the oh my god, sneezing, and pistol sound. The control is simple, one button for jump, one for attack and one for special attack. You can throw the enemies, hold then do the knee/headbutt, all the original moves are there! The gameplay is super fun!
This game is similar to another awesome game, Streets Of Rage 2, which should be made for the GBA! Overall this game is totally sweet, a MUST BUY!

This is an excellent game from the late 80's and the gameboy port is about 99% exactly like the arcade version. The 1% that's inaccurate are the changes of the female fighter into the male fighter Sid/Billy and that when Haggar grabs an enemy...he holds them by the upper arms/shoulders. In the arcade version he grabbed them around their necks! That male fighter has the exact same moves as the female but was changed for reasons unknown to me. This is a great game and worth your money if you loved this in the arcades back in the day.

This game ROCKS!!!
