Best Beat em Up on Xbox?

For me its got to be Soul Calibur 2, 

Real nice graphics, super smooth gameplay and fighting system/ controls,

Really good  multiplayer and relay value.

sound is good ; quotes like ' Pretentious Fool' from Mitsurugi crack me up and 'So you want me to knock you out'?

Some top charactors- Maxi, Kilik, Mitsurugi, Spawn, Necrid etc etc

Quality game.

Street Fighter anniversary simply because street fighter 2 and 3 are the funnest beat em ups.

But also worth a mention is Capcom vs SNK2 EO and Marvel Vs Capcom 2

absolute gems.

GTA is no beat em up. I recently got Capcom vs Snk 2 and thought it was dissapointing, lots of charactors but the graphics are sketchy and controls are also. Not played armegedden but thought deception wasnt great, fighting system is too difficult (learning combos) and just wasnt a lot of fun to play felt blocky and charactors die and then stand up again wtf? Just not as smooth and playable as SC2 althouh the finishers and death traps are pretty cool.   

Ive not played DOA Ultimate but have played DOA 3 & 4 (360). And yes smash bros is a big game well enjoyed it.

Soul Caliber is a really good game you can pick it up and play and aftera  while you can master it and get to know how to link moves and improvise combos. Which makes it quite an even game for anyone whos playing (still somone who has played through the story will always have a big advantage moves wise and tacticley) Thats what makes it so good and also how fluid and responsive the controls are, no beat em up can match that part of the game, good charactors, weapons arenas the lot its just a great fun game from start to mastering it.

 I had it first about 2 years ago and played it to death pretty much 100% plus would play multiplayer loads with mates, i did get a bit bored of it and traded it in for a new game.

Recently picked it up again and am well into it its hardley dated at all and the best bit has got to be the fluid moves and ease of pulliing stunning moves and combos. Anyones whos missed out on this game, bag a copy you wont regret it!

Also better charactors and style of game and weapons give more variety to gameplay.

OP, you're confused.  A beat-'em-up is an action game where you pound the living piss out of everything that moves, and you're generally surrounded by dumbass opponents who, while extremely stupid, have abilities that you don't (eg., Double Dragon's ducking goons - for anyone that can remember that far back).

Soul Calibur 2, however, is a fighting game, which is a one-on-one competition where you beat the crap out of each other, and it's purely versus.

Beat 'em Ups on the XBox:

TMNT

2

3

Beatdown: Fists of Vengeance

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks

Final Fight Streetwise

Spikeout Battlestreet

Dynasty Warriors 3

4

5

Samurai Warriors

If I'm missing anything, so be it, but these are the shining examples.

Of the beat-em-ups, Dynasty Warriors 5 is, so far, my favourite.

Of the fighting games, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection.

I always thought beat em ups were like mortal kombat, tekken, soul caliber to me thats always going to be a beat em up game.. And what your describing as beat em ups to me are action/ adventure games/ scrolling fighting games or whatever like new gen versions of streets of rage and golden axe.

Im from UK so things are a lil different, its not really the point im getting at anyway. What is the best fighting game on xbox (beat em up) and why?

I dont get how it could be any 2-d fighter, they seem so basic and just retro novelitys to me. Soul Caliber is sooo far advanced from street fighter graphicley, technicley, the lot!

Also whats TMNT?

Hands down Street Fighter Anniversary Collection.  Everybody that has posted this game knows fully well that we aren't talking about Street Fighter II.  It's all about 3rd Strike, baby.

I can't put Marvel vs. Capcom 2 on the list because it's impossible to find.

That being said, Soul Calibur 2 is an awesome game,  but I actually feel that 3rd strike is more skill based and a faster paced game.

GTA is no beat em up. I recently got Capcom vs Snk 2 and thought it was dissapointing, lots of charactors but the graphics are sketchy and controls are also. Not played armegedden but thought deception wasnt great, fighting system is too difficult (learning combos) and just wasnt a lot of fun to play felt blocky and charactors die and then stand up again wtf? Just not as smooth and playable as SC2 althouh the finishers and death traps are pretty cool.
