This fighting game began the story of the Sakazaki family and Robert Garcia. Yuri Sakazaki has been abducted by Mr. Big to punish her father, Takuma, and her brother, Ryo. To rescue her, Ryo and Robert must take on numerous enemies around South Town, eventually reaching the mysterious Mr. Karate. The passion of the game’s creators is evident in the unique game play elements introduced. These include an energy gauge that is depleted every time a fighter uses a special maneuver, Desperation Attacks that are usable only when a fighter’s health is low, and camera zooming that adjusts on the fly as fighters move around the stage. All these features ensure that players use strategy and tactics, rather than simply mash buttons. Adding to the mix are little touches such as characters showing cuts when they are injured and voice-over samples during cut scenes. Can you perfect the art of fighting and save Yuri? Read less

I have always heard about Art of Fighting, but I never picked up and played it. It's an interesting fighter with lots of cool characters, a great soundtrack and some fun stage design. The camera zooms in when the fighters approach each other, which I thought was interesting, and there's even a taunt option! It has clever bonus levels like in Street Fighter where you can learn new moves and upgrade your stamina/power kinda.

I played through the story mode, where you look for your girl (daughter/wife, I can't remember/don't care) and you don't care who you have to beat up to get her back. The story is tame but charming in a way, but it doesn't really matter either. Art of Fighting is pretty good, and I wish I could play it some more against a friend. I will definitely check out the other two AoF's.
