Horrific voice acting, terrible camra, and a pathetic fighting system.
User Rating: 2 | Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance PS2
I wouldn't know how long it would take to complete beat down fist of vengence. I rented the game from gamefly.com and played at least 5 seconds of the game before turning it off and mailing it back. Capcom has always been one of the least bad companies next to Namco. Namco made great games in the past but as of today they are failing at delivering the goods and since when were they part of the RPG genre? Sorry Im not interested in sissy games for school girls such as Tales of Legendia. Now back to beat down. The voice acting is horrible in every way I assume that Capcom thought that adding some curse words into the game would help it sell but cursing is not the reason why people play video games in the first place at least not for me. I often become anoyyed by it when swearing is said after every sentence in a game ( GTA San Andreas ). The Warriors didn't bother me much with the constant cursing. Beat down fails miserably in the fighting department where the combat system is rather shallow. The camra will also get in the way every now and then causing headaches if your not use to spinning around to keep the camra in place. I can't say anything about the difficulty level or music, etc. I only played 5 seconds of the game and was all ready done with it after my first encounter with an enemy. Capcom is one of those companies that fall behind and make instant combats with a better version sooner or later. Unfornatly I still hate mostly all their games and only appreciate the Onimusha series next to Street Fighter of course SF can be better if it wasn't so frustraiting most of the time especially the Alpha series. My closing comments: I wouldn't reccomend renting or buying Beat Down Fist Of Vengence. Even the Bouncer was a better game than this. Beat em ups of the new generation are hardly ever good. Not to mention how many times they keep setting the scene in some sort of ghetto part of town in a game ( Final Fight Streetwise, and Urban Reign ). It becomes rather anoyying than fun when you can't play a game without hearing some sort of rap music in the background if not that then perhaps the way the characters are dressed should ring a bell. Urban Reign looks to much like Def Jam Vendetta that is why I never rented nor bought it. One thing for sure Beat Down Fist Of Vengence is one of the worst games I have rented.
