Video Game Reviews of Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol 1
Customer Review: First half of a great fighting series
Summary: 4 Stars
If anyone is a fan of SNK, than they remember Fatal Fury from way back when. Either having played it in the arcades, or playing the sometimes watered down (although still fun) ports on the old consoles like the Genesis or Super Nintendo. Fatal Fury Battle Archives Volume 1 brings the first 4 games from the Fatal Fury series to the Playstation 2, faithfully ported from the original arcade versions respectively on each title.
You have Fatal Fury, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury Special, and Fatal Fury 3. this series could be considered, like Art of Fighting, a precursor to the King of Fighters series, as it features a lot of regulars in the series, including faces like Mai Shirunai, Andy and Terry Bogard, Geese, and plenty of others. One cool thing about the series, not seen in hardly any other fighting games is the ability to jump back and forth between foregrounds and backgrounds, adding another plane to fight on.
Other than that, Fatal Fury offers all the fun 2D style fighting you can find in games like Street Fighter, Samurai Shodown, and others. It's fun, its old school, and its always to be remembered.
It's a shame though that SNK did not add any new features to this collection. You have the ability to color edit characters, and also adjust difficulties, but that's about it. Pretty bare bones in presentation.
If you're a fan of old school fighting and SNK, this is a title not to be missed.
Description of Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol 1
Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1 - The collection will include the first four entries in the franchise: Fatal Fury, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury Special, and Fatal Fury 3. This will be the first appearance of the brawler on U.S. consoles since the original PlayStation's Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition in 1999. Released the same year as Street Fighter II, Fatal Fury was the first fighting game to allow players to battle on two planes. It also featured a cooperative mode when a second player joined a single-player game. The two would have to work together to defeat the computer-controlled opponent before they could fight one another. The sequel, Fatal Fury 2, introduced "desperation moves" that could be unleashed when your fighter was near defeat. Fatal Fury Special was an expanded version of Fatal Fury 2 with additional characters. The third proper entry in the series, Fatal Fury 3, added a third plane on which players could duke it out.Fighting Games
