Anyway, Final Fight Double Impact, basically is the Arcade versions, of Final Fight 1 and Magic Sword, thus the name, 'double' impact. Both games are playable online with remixed music which is REALLY Good!
Now this is another game that has been out for a while, but I felt that I should post about it in case some people out there might have been curious about it. So let's talk about the remixed Final Fight 1 version!
I played Final Fight as a kid, tho back then I did not give it much importance because I was more addicted to Final Fight 3, it had better graphics, better gameplay, better everything in a way, but when I saw Double Impact on PSN, I just had to buy it, first because it was Final Fight, and second, because even if it wasn't the third one, Final Fight STILL kicks ass!!!
This game let's you play as 3 characters.
- Mike Haggar : a wrestler who is also the mayor of Metro city. Mike's daughter got kidnapped and now he goes to rescue her.
- Cody: a Street Fighter who is her lover.
- Guy : a Ninjitsu master who is one of her friends.
Guy and Cody are Famous characters who appeared in a few Street Fighter games, they are pretty well known actually.
Final Fight's gameplay's your typical side-scolling beat em up game, but let me tell you that it unique in it's own way. I started playing this game while barely remembering anything of it when I played this game as a kid. It was like playing this game for the first time all over again! and I consider it a luck. Each characters have their own moves and abilities. Haggar moves slow but to compensate, he is really strong, and is the best for grabs. Cody is well balanced, moves around fast and his good offense. Guy is the fastest I would say, and his moves plays pretty much like codys even if they are completly different.
Guy and Cody are pretty special in this game, because they can perform what is known by the fans as 'Infinite Jab'. The infite jab is when you jab twice, turn around, jab twice, turn around, repeat and repeat. Personally, as Guy, I hit 3 times, turn around, 3 times again, turn around and repeat.
This 'glitch' or trick, allows you to kill any enemy as you manage to keep this move going. I kill all the bosses like this and it's quite hilarious. it works so well that you can take on Stage 3's bosses ( They are usually 4 when you play online ) at all once with this one combo.
This video, played in the SNES version of the game shows it pretty well, look around 0:50, you can see a perfect example right over there. The guy obivously uses a turbo controller, but you don't need one to perform this trick, and you don't need to mash the attack button so much :P.
To conclude, Final Fight is only 6 stages, but it's one great experience and it's lots of fun in Co-Op, pick a partner and show those bad guys who's boss! I personally used to beat this game over and over and over again ( I Still do.... lol ) but even if you play it once or twice, it's a great experience none the less, and definitly worth buying on PSN or XBOXLA.
Now let's have a look at Magic Sword! The OTHER Arcade game included in the package!
Here goes another 2D side-scrolling game, that somehow reminds me of Castlevania for it's visual desgins. The game let's you play as 2 heros (Co-Op), who are on a quest to defeat the Darklord who threatens to destroy the world, somehow a typical plot, but somehow, a really great game!
Basically what you do is that you roam around in a castle that has 51 floors. Your mission is the reach the top floor where you will meet the darklord which you want to kill. Each floor has it's own design, and from time to time there are prisoners which you can set free, using keys you'll find in treasure chests, and in exchange they will give you their aid / assistance throughout the game. As you venture into the castle, you will sometimes find shorcuts using special keys. These shortcuts will make you skips a few floors, making your quest a little shorter, but still as fun!
Here's a short gameplay video showing a bit of the game and what it looks like. it's definitly a great game to try out if you purchase Final Fight Double Impact. it's another piece of fun, and you can't go wrong with this one, it'll always be fun as long as you have somebody to play with.
in conclusion, both games are REALLY great classics imported to the Playstation 3 and XBOX 360 video game consoles, updated with remixed musics and online play. There are achivements and trophies to unlock, depending on which console you are using, and there is also the 'vault' which is a list of challenges you can attempt when you feel like it. Both games have great Co-Op and replay value, I own Double Impact since months and I still play it to this day, like an addicted maniac. -This infinite jab sure it addicting to do! my fingers hurt so much!-
I'll leave you guys with a sample of Final Fight Double Impact's remixed music.
That's one famous Final Fight theme right over there, I don't think I need to introduce it to you guys!
Great drums! This is the BAY STAGE! 5-A
Thanks for reading guys! and I hope you definitly look into Final Fight Double Impact!
There was also a press kit which was available in limited quantity, and it sold pretty quickly. But I think it's still worth showing you guys!
It's the Final Fight Double Impact Press Kit! Do you guys recognize one of thosse barrels that you break in the game? :)
Now sure you guys have a nice idea from the picture what this barrel contains, but I found a great great video, that actually shows and explains all these AMAZING items one by one! it's absolutely worth checking out!
It's a video from HappyConsoleGamer! A gamer who I have alot of admiration and respect for! Enjoy!!!
