Replay – Fighting Force

Brawlers were in their prime back in the 16-bit era, but the genre seemed to stall a bit once the industry shifted to 3D gaming. Despite the lull, Eidos and Core attempted to emulate the beat-em-up heyday with the 3D Fighting Force. All of the genre standbys (eating food off the ground, beating up environmental objects, swarms of similarly-named baddies) were present, including co-op play.

Watch below to see Tim and I bash faces in while playing as Hawk and Smasher.

I think Brawlers can come back if done correctly. I hope someone sees that and does.

Great replay, would like to see some of the Smackdown games on future episodes especially Here Comes The Pain.

Sorry but fighting game replays are definitely not my thing.

I remember renting out this game a lot when I was younger. It's awesome seeing this in a Replay episode.

This Fighting Force game actually looks really good! Great choice for Replay, Tim was hilarious in it. The Reported game choice was really unique and different. Really enjoyed seeing that as well. Great job on the Replay.

I realize this is about a year old, but I'm just now watching this episode and I have to comment about the music. Yes, there is music and I was disappointed that I couldn't hear it while watching your replay.

I really enjoyed the music, in fact I have the soundtrack on my hard drive. I guess there was something wrong with the PSN version, because I still have the PS1 version and it was fine.

I think it'd be cool to have a remake or a sequel to this for current gen consoles.

EDIT: Wait a minute, just finished it and at the end someone said they hope it comes to psn... I thought they were playing the PSN version, considering they were clearly playing this on a PS3. Unless this was an old model PS3 that still had backwards compatibility, but then I didn't think PS3 could play PS1 games? Or maybe he was being sarcastic?
