Final Fight CD
The definitive 16-bit versionGenre: action - beat em up
Publisher: Sega
Year: 1993
System: Sega CD
Gameplay Score: 3
Gameplay Notes:
Two button controls - jump and attack. For the most part you just mash on attack, but there are other mechanics, like a jump kick, flying knee kick, a spinning attack and grabbing, throwing, and pile driving enemies. Adds a bit of variety to otherwise monotonous gameplay. Enemies sort of take turns attacking instead of swarming and all attacking at once. Lots of environmental hazards - some which just get in your way like staircases but there are also fires and other things that actually hurt you.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
Nice design of the stages. They're simple but each have a distinct theme, like a normal street in broad daylight, a seedy section of town later in the day, an industrial area up on a catwalk, in a highrise building, etc. The bonus stages where you break a car and smash glass are iconic and fun diversions.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
Generic but iconic. Metro City needs a protector and you're it. Gotta save the lovely Jessica!
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
This is where the game shines. Large sprites (not as large as they should be) which are drawn extremely well. Looks about the same as the SNES version.
Audio Score: 4
Audio Notes:
CD quality music. The sounds are superb, with satisfying crunches and groans.
Overall Score: 70
