The classic Capcom street brawler resurrected for Game Boy Advance

Even though they're older than time itself, Bruce Lee movies still kick ass. For many retro gamers Final Fight One is just as much of a classic as Enter the Dragon. It was one of the very first scrolling beat 'em ups that had sprites as big as its gameplay and arcade and SNES punters loved it. But unlike Brucie's awesome movies, Final Fight hasn't aged well at all.

YAWN 'EM UP
As is often the case with retro re-releases, if this didn't have the heritage to back it up, it'd get bundled into a van for a good drubbing. The Final Fight name saves it from this fate, but only for players who remember the original. Less crusty GBAers will find the gameplay repetitive, the limited animations laughable, and get bored with it after the retro appeal of the first few goes wanes. Save your money for the much better Street Fighter II instead.
