Played through this beat em up game, among several others on an emulator and have to say it was pretty enjoyable. However, not really all that special as it did not stand out to me among the games I have played. Same types of scenery, same types of enemies to fight and despite this never being an arcade game, same cheap boss fights...
The story, the city is suffering through a massive crime wave and there is no end in sight. However, three cops decide to do something about it. They are pretty tough too as they do not use guns, but mainly their fists and rage! Will they stop Mr. Big or will you run out of continues before that happens?
The game play is rather standard. Though, this one only has one attack button, there are still quite a few varying maneuvers to perform. You also have a special attack which basically hits every enemy on the screen. I am sure it differs with the three characters, but with Blaze, whom I won the game with, it is a bazooka blast from a fellow officer. I always like to use the girls in these games cause I favor speed! Like all mainstream beat em up games you find health and weapons in cans and such, like I said nothing really all that special, but I have heard the second one is the best game in the series.
So, pretty fun, though the difficulty is a bit high considering I had this thing on easy and still struggled to get through to the end. I absolutely hated the boss which was basically just two of your character if you are playing by yourself. I imagine that if there was another player it would be a clone of each. I also imagine this thing would be easier with another player and a bit more fun. As it was it was a nice time beating down criminal scum!
