Trivia
The Andore characters are an homage to world-famous wrestler André René Roussimoff.

Alternate versions
In the Japanese intro, when it shows Jessica on the TV screen, she's shown torso only and wearing only a bra for a top. This was altered for all non-Japanese versions to her wearing the red dress we see her in several times later in the game. However, some non-Japanese prints don't even use the alternate outfit and only shows Damnd/Thrasher laughing into the TV screen. The two female characters (Roxy and Poison) do not appear in the US versions of the Super NES and GBA ports. They are replaced by Sid and Billy. Reason for this replacement is due to the "provocative outfits" of the original female characters (Very small tanktop and VERY short shorts). However, the female characters were reinstated for the US Sega CD release, yet their tanktops and shorts were lengthened to cover up more skin. In the home versions, after you break the car. When the guy comes out, he doesn't say "Oh! My God!!" Instead, he says "Oh! My Car!!" Two of the bosses had their names changed in the US version of the Super NES port:Stage 1 boss "Damnd" had his name changed to "Thrasher". Stage 2 boss "Sodom" had his name changed to "Katana". The "Industrial Area" stage is missing in Super NES version due to graphical limitations, yet reinstated in the Sega CD and Game Boy Advance editions.

Featured review

Final Fight: The first Beat em' up to steal Double Dragon's crown.

Final Fight ruled the 2 player beat em' up genre when it was released in 1989. The previous beat em' up king Double Dragon was improved upon in almost every way. Final Fight had better graphics, better music, more fighters, more fighting moves, better locales, better enemies and the list goes on and on.

The 3 fighters in Final Fight had personality which was something Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon didn't have. The 3 Fighters consisted of Cody (boyfriend of Haggar's kidnapped daughter) , Guy (Cody's friend), and Haggar (Mayor of Metro city). Each fighter had a unique fighting style and strengths(another improvement over DD). My personal fave was Cody. I once beat the whole game with Cody without losing a single life.

Guy's advantage is his foot and hand speed.

Haggar's advantage is his powerful attacks and wrestling holds.

Cody's advantage is his equal combination of speed and power, though he isn't quite as fast as Guy or as strong as Haggar. His greatest advantage is his skill with knives and is the only fighter who can stab repeatedly with one. The other 2 fighter's just throw the knives. I've cleared a whole level of thugs with just a knife alone.

BEST HOME VERSION OF FINAL FIGHT: (FINAL FIGHT CD (japanese import) for Sega CD):

The best home version of this classic is for the Sega CD and it's called "Final Fight CD" (the japanese version). You'll need a japanese convertor cartridge to play it though. Final Fight CD has everything the arcade had and better music. There is a USA version but the Blood, liquor bottles, some graffiti and scantily clad women have been edited or taken out completely. Blood is replaced by sweat, Liquor bottles are replaced by milk bottles, Some Graffiti is covered up, and the scantily clad women have been given less revealing clothes. Not to mention the english voice acting is horrible. The japanese version has japanese voices but the actors put more feeling into their acting. Trust me. Get the Japanese version only. Overall Final Fight CD (japanese) for Sega CD is actually better than the arcade.
