Overview:
You take control of one of three characters and go through Metro City defeating street toughs to rescue your daughter! Even though they have a …business… proposition for Mayor Mike Haggar, he joins Cody and Guy to take them down once and for all. It’s a side scrolling beat-em-up game originally made for the arcade, so it was designed to eat quarters with cheapness. But now it’s for YOUR SEGA CD! This means you can actually play with two players and some of the levels that were taken from us!
Visuals:
For the time, this game was something else. The releases for other platforms always had something missing and was never the arcade experience. This all is changed since everything looks amazing and is a faithful adaptation of the game. There are still the same limits from the SNES version but at least nothing is actually removed.
Audio:
This is where the Sega CD version shines! You get some rearranged music that is just fuckin’ rockin’ the entire time and gets you pumped. You also get A-M-A-Z-I-N-G voice acting setting up the story that just sounds like it was made for a very bad TV movie, like Master Ninja. I love it so much.
Completion:
As shown in the screenshot above, I got destroyed at the Subway level. I was so transfixed by the ladies that I let my guard down and just couldn’t come away with the W. It’s all good though, it’s a great game and, if I hit continue, I would have been able to probably beat it but I had to stick by my own rules.
