It has the standard range of punches and kick that can be chained into combos, and factors in an ‘Instinct’ meter which allows for more damaging attacks. The fighting system is perfectly competent. It wouldn’t surprise me if the game had the Final Fight elements tacked on mid way through development in order to shift copies of a game that Capcom had no idea what to do with. The story itself is so randomly thrown together that it could have easily been released without being attached to any existing IP. Indeed, this is the most concrete connection to the original game, and it’s still fairly superfluous. From this opening fight we discover that you’ll be playing as Kyle, brother of our old friend Cody from the first game. It’s the location were the vast majority of your one on one fights will happen, and the place which uses the aforementioned inventive colour scheme. Not the first impression any game wants to leave you with.Īnyway, the story mode drops you into a pit fight right from the word go. The very first fight location shows the same artistic flair evident in the menu screen: scummy brown, with a hint of dull grey. My first steps into story mode show that this is a theme Capcom is determined to hold onto throughout the game – at least they’re consistent. It might be a small element of the whole game, but when a menu screen looks as bad as this it becomes worthy of comment well, let’s just say it didn’t fill me with hope, with its washed out colours and un-inspired game logo. Right from the start Final Fight looks like a budget game. So let me just slip the gloves off on this occasion, and we’ll begin. But when something I love is used as a tool to hurt me, it makes me angry. It’s good that you know that right from the start, as I don’t want you to think I’m trashing your favourite childhood game I love it as much as you did, trust me. The only real similarity Final Fight: Streetwise has to the classic brawler is the name on the front of the box. It’s not a game that anyone will want to remember. This is not the Final Fight your father remembers or the game you remember as a young whipper snapper.
