Final
Fight represents straightforward arcade brawling at its absolute best.
Final Fight best game ever made. If you don't agree with
that statement, consider the following words: Bred, Andore Jr., G. Oriber, Edi
E., Two P, and, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Metro-City Mayor Mike Haggar.
These are some of the most unforgettable characters in gaming history, and they
all appeared first in Final Fight.
In case you're unfamiliar with the
Final Fight legend, but were impressed by the list of characters and so are
still reading, here's the deal: Final Fight is the seminal side-scrolling
beat-'em up. Technically, Double Dragon may have come first, but Final Fight
perfected the genre. Imagine Street Fighter if it wasn't designed for
monocle-wearing fancy-lads--if it had a more meat-and-potatoes combat system,
involved fighting a lot more than one enemy at a time, featured plenty of
smashing barrels with your fist to see if there's any treasure or hunks of meat
inside, and required a lot more walking to the right. And then imagine that not
only can you punish the thugs by pile-driving them, but you can also make them
cry by busting up their cars. Then stop imagining, because it's all contained
in Final Fight.
The Game Boy Advance version is a
little miracle. It's the best translation of the arcade game to date. First of
all, it contains all six of the arcade levels, including the industrial area
left out of the 1990 Super Nintendo translation. And unlike that version, Final
Fight One features all three of the original characters--the all-arounder Cody,
the beefy Haggar, and the agile Guy. More importantly, it permits two people to
play cooperatively using two systems and a link cable. Even more importantly,
the two-player mode works great and doesn't slow down when there's a lot of activity
onscreen, which is pretty much all the time because that's how the people who
play Final Fight like it.
There are five difficulty options
ranging from very easy to very hard. You're allotted a limited number of
continues, but unlike in the arcade and SNES versions, progress is saved after
every level. One mildly annoying feature is that the two-player mode gives you
unlimited retries with no option to restrict the number of continues. Of
course, you can simply decide to permit only a certain number of retries, but seriously,
everyone knows those kinds of honorable resolutions never last very long.
Unfortunately, the translation
isn't completely perfect. For some reason, the two female punks, Roxy and
Poison, have been replaced by generic male punks. This was true of the SNES
version as well, but that hardly excuses it. There are also some small
graphical changes--the arcade's flickering fluorescent light effect is gone as
are a few background animations. The game's soundtrack suffers somewhat in
translation too.
Still, the great thing about Final Fight is that it's a
timeless game. Whether it's your first time through the game or your seven
hundredth, shoulder-tossing one punk into a group of his oncoming friends
remains a thrilling experience. It may not be deep in the Virtua Fighter
smarty-pants sense, but it is deeply satisfying. Final Fight represents
straightforward arcade brawling at its absolute best. That the entire arcade
game now fits in your pocket is quite frankly insane.
