A and X are light and heavy attack, respectively, Y blocks, and B throws. The actual fighting is responsive and easy to use, but has some nice additions to satisfy the hardcore player. Okay, with the negative out of the way, lets focus on the positive.
As it stands right now, you will find yourself snapping the camera behind the heroes back more and more often as he plays. Capcom should have just taken a lesson from its other beat-em-up style game, Devil May Cry, and gone with fixed camera angles from the get go. While looking at the generic shoes of main character is kinda cool, it takes the game a few seconds to realize that, wait, there is no point to displaying the game from this angle, and yes, preventing the player from seeing the enemies that are attacking him is causing said player to through his or her controller at the wall in disgust.
For example, upon exiting some interiors, the camera sets itself right underneath the heroes feet. Often being perfect to see what you are doing, often choosing the worst possible angle to show you the action. In this game, the camera seems to alternate between all of them. Often you will have camera that work for you, like those in Splinter Cell, those that work against you, like The Matrix: Path of Neo, and some that don’t work at all, like 50 Cent: Bulletproof. By far the oddest thing about the game is its lack of save feature.įinally, there is the camera. The smoke could stop rising from the spot he just sprayed, and nothing is left but sparks, but the game still treats it as a damaging and impassable wall. The hero, Kyle, can pick up a fire extinguisher to put out the flames, but the game gives no clue as to when the flame is actually out. Fire shows up in more than one point in the game as an obstacle. The most annoying glitch however, is what I call the fire glitch. Another set of glitches comes in camera angles. Switching Xboxes didn’t help, and the disk itself was unscratched so I can only surmise these are unattended glitches in the code.
A crash bug in a released game is an unforgivable sin, yet this reviewer encountered no less than three spots where the game flat out crashed on him for no reason. The most annoying of these is an audio effect crash bug. This game also has a number of unnecessary glitches that could drive you crazy. Here it doesn’t, and there doesn’t appear to be a justified reason for it. That is, its supposed to run smooth when tons of bad guys are flooding the screen. Its not supposed to have slowdown during one of its key elements. The lip synch is good and characters are easily recognizable, but there is no excuse for the game to suffer massive slowdown just because the fires are burning in the background. But on this game? The characters look nice, but the graphics aren’t really outstanding. On a first person shooter with lots of graphic effects, this might be understandable. Lets start off with the negative to get them out of the way. Why then would Capcom want to torpedo one of its most treasured franchises? If there is a word to describe games like this, its ‘Imcompleteitus.’ Total Overdose suffered the same fate, and is a failed potential game because of it. This game suffers from terrible bugs and horrible slowdown, but the underlying gameplay is solid. I have searched the web and seen a lot of bad reviews for Final Fight: Streetwise, and I am stunned to say the least. Will Capcom, do it justice? The answer may shock you.įirst off, don’t believe the negative hype. I’ll grant you that many of these games came out long before Final Fight, but the worry is the same. For every Prince Of Persia, you have a failed attempt at Frogger, Pitfall, and Pac‑Man. Updating a classic game has always been a hit or miss effort.
