A modern River City Ransom!
The fighting system is awesome. Sometimes, the camera has a hard time following all the crazyness that's going on but that's minor. You can kick, punch, throw or use bricks / baseball bats to inflict pain. This game is very violent. Some missions will need you to use stealth which is great... it is a brawler by heart but there's a lot of different things to do and you'll never get bored.
The graphics are not the best in the world but that's because some fights will include more than 10 people on-screen. At least, i didnt experience any slowdowns. The animation is extremely smooth.
The sound is superb! You will feel every punch you will give and/or receive. The sound makes the fighting even more brutal... you'll even hear skulls being smashed. The music is great as well and picks up whenever there's a lot of action on the screen. The voice-overs are great and gives all the characters excellent personality.
The story is excellent and you'll want to invest the 12 hrs this game should take you to finish. There's even coop play but i've never been able to test it out. I recommend this game if you like fighting games... this one is golden and i can't wait to try Bully.
