In your travels, you meet interesting people. I lost a bat after about three strikes: must have been a knock off. Sadly the weapons you find disappear unusually fast. Of course once you knock the bats out of their hands you can pick it up and lay some waste with it. This is an extremely important button, some guys will come at you with bats and such and you need to block that to stay alive. Doing combos between X and square is the best way to fell the multiple enemies that come at you. Circle is grab and square is heavy punch. The “X” button is quick punch, and you can land a large amount of these on enemies in quick succession if your thumb is fast. The controls aren’t too bad for a 3D brawler they’re responsive and there’s no lag to assist you in getting your butt kicked. After a lengthy battle, they cheap shot you and make off with Cody it is up to you to save him. After a big fight you and Cody are sitting at a bar when some mean looking dudes wander in looking for Cody. He also bears a striking resemblance to the first games Cody. The story is as flimsy as the original’s you play as Kyle who is trying to make his name as a streetfighter and Cody is your friend and your coach. Graft and vice were everywhere and you were there to lend a helping hand to the destitute. Everywhere I took my character, there was a hooker who needed a hand or a thug robbing some poor old woman. The city that you venture around in is a dank and drab one it is a city that I wouldn’t want to live in. I understand that Capcom was shooting for a gritty Fight Club-esque feel to the game, and they did pull it off. Streetwise is very dingy and not beautifully animated. That being said, the game doesn’t look amazing at all at least the original Final Fight was colorful, the character design was creative and insanely memorable. I know they were two different systems and most likely different developers, but technology generally gets better as time progresses, I don’t know why Capcom couldn’t make this game as pretty as the Spencer Mansion adventure. It blows my mind that Capcom who released the Resident Evil Remake four years before this game made such an ugly looking entry. In my opinion, this generation of gaming did not age too well, especially when they were rushed or not cared about. Capcom wanted to bring the old 2D classic back into the 3D world on the PlayStation 2, and they did a mediocre job at best. My hunting around used games stores and thrift shops helped me find a title that I knew existed but hadn’t had time to play, Final Fight: Streetwise. That nostalgia prompted me to go out and look for more Final Fight games seeing as I only had that one in my collection. A few months ago, I went down memory lane and decided to play one of my favorite button mashers, Final Fight on my Super Nintendo.
