Great Backgrounds, But Little To Offer Besides That
This review is for the Arcade version
Preliminary: The backgrounds are incredibblleeeee, and the billboards in the background too. We shall see tho. The Brawler genre, as much as I loved Double Dragon for the NES growing up, just hasn't been clicking much with me. I think it's best enjoyed with at least one other person at an actual arcade--not so much for home/personal gaming. We shall see. Hopefully the cool backgrounds make up for the lackluster sprites, overly stereotypical arcade tune, and my uncertainty about the brawler genre in general.
I got to this point in the second stage and called it quits heh. I really liked the main character's sprite, and most of the Look overall. But the Brawler aspect was old already by the first boss, as I repeatedly had to jump-kick him, the Sound wasn't pushing me forward, and the nunchuks got old quite quickly. Oh and the collision masks were surprisingly bad, it's like the core of their body not any other part of their body. I would expect more from an arcade game! Moving on...
Look: 8/10 Really where the game shines, even if the UI and enemy sprites were meh.
Sound: 7/10
Play: 6.5/10

Sound: 7/10
Play: 6.5/10
Feel: 6.5/10 Not the first, and certainly not the best. Tho that Look gives a nice boost to this.
Attachment: 6.5/10 I mean I got through a stage and a half.. and there are only 5 stages. Plus I really like those backgrounds. So there's some chance I'd return to finish this.
Overall: 6.9/10
I also been playing this a bit the past month or so, not knowing it was a successor to Kung-Fu Master (Or Kung-Fu as it is known by it's Black Box title) This is a much easier time to manage playing and a nicer slightly 'anime' looking game and a bit easier but it still is beyond my ability to complete. It's a bit lower on the threshold of TG-16 titles but worth checking out for 15 mins
Made to this stage (I think third stage) but these bikers are out for blood and will SLAY
