    Haggar for Mayor!

    This is a direct resurrection of magic sword and final fight.  The soundtrack has been significantly improved from the original (just try the old audio to see what I mean), and the visuals have been tuned up as well.  While I loved the original Final Fight, and bought this game wanting to relive it with a friend, I found that it had not aged well with me.  The simplistic gameplay was certainly nostalgic, but I also found it quite boring.  I had never played Magic Sword, and it was a huge dissapointment.  The game took very little time to complete, and from what I could tell, there was very little reason to replay it.  The controls felt loose and the gameplay consisted of moving forward and pressing attack intermittently.  While I suppose this is a superb case of "you get what you pay for", as the game delivered both original games in working order, I was left completely unsatisfied with this remix of two old classics.

      The bones of my knuckles protrude through the dilapidated tatters of my crimson-stained skin.  A cool evening breeze carries away the reeking scent of my singed hair and charred clothes.   My thoughts are a jumbled mess, floating around inside my concussed cranium.  A mile-long trail of unconscious thugs chronicles our path through the city, but at long last, our mission has reached its conclusion.  The mayor’s daughter is safe again. “I won’t let anything bad happen to you again” Mike Hag...
