This review lacks oomph. I think the main reason for this is that it also lacks focus. You sort've throw out a lot of things about the game, but few of them carry any actual weight and are instead well known facts about Final Fight and Beat em ups in general. This line in particular highlights this:

"From time to time, barrels appear out of no where. You can break these for health pick-ups and weapons. Guy, my character of choice, can throw these nifty ninja stars. Sometimes the barrels are integrated straight into the level, and other times they’re an element of a post-boss bonus game. Busting up inanimate objects is certainly fun, I’ll give them that."

What use is this line? Why does Guy's ninja ability get thrown into this paragraph? What does this line tell us about the game other than it has power ups (not really blowing my world open here).

I would rather you had picked something that really drew YOU in about Final Fight and then expanded on that. It would've added a more personal level to the review and less of a random element.

Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."

I agree with pretty much everything Zipp says. There needs to be a little more depth in some areas.

One line I think could be left out is:

(Don’t you hate it when you play a game like “Double Dragon” and the enemy can duck your jump kicks but you can’t duck theirs?)

You made it clear in the previous sentences that the game lacks cheap shots, so this comparison is unecessary.

I guess it does lack a certain 'oomph.' One of the things about this game is that its pretty generic but not bad either. Nothing in particular really amazed me, but I also thought it did its job as an 8-bit beat 'em up. That gives me little to draw upon except the general feeling of good company.

In retrospect, this paragraph didn't convey what I intended. I was pointing out that certain levels stop to throw a series of rolling barrels at you as obstacles, and that this is where the power-ups and weapon pick-ups can be found. It wasn't very obvious to me the first time I played the game, so I thought it would be something good to point out in the review. (My instinct was actually to avoid these things and not attack them.) I've done edits on that paragraph to convey this info a little better.

Yeah, but I like the added reinforcement. It also illustrates what I consider to be "foul play," so the reader and I are 100% on the same page.

I like this review, and strong conclusion, but "You can level up about five times." About five times? Why not just say 5 times?

You're right. I've edited out the pointless "about."
