Rival Turf for SNES


Image: MobyGames

Rival Turf

Low-key Final Fight


Genre: action - beat em up

Publisher: Jaleco

Year: 1992

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

Final Fight clone. Same controls and gameplay. Responsive controls. Fairly easy game. Has a two player option and can turn on or off friendly fire. There's a bad guy who looks like the Nerd from Robot Chicken on steroids.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:

I love the bus ride. So funny to think that this huge brawl takes place while the bus driver is happily driving around town.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Typical stuff, but I like it. Again, straight up clone of Final Fight.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Washed out colors. Decent animation and sprite work.


Audio Score: 3

Audio Notes:

Ok music but it loops quickly and becomes fairly annoying. Way too repetitive. The sounds don't always match up with the onscreen action, like punching where the animation lasts far longer than the sound. Overall the sound is just underwhelming. Lacks the oomph that Capcom and Konami brawlers have.


Overall Score: 63

Review ID: 462
