    Three decades later, Karateka is back to kick Akuma's ass! The good news is that this is a good looking action game with a few genuinely clever ideas. Unfortunately, . The rhythm-based gameplay is unique, but it would have been nice to see a few more enemy types and deeper gameplay but a game like this should not be missed Jordan mechner and his team work hard on this game looking at the making of this game.
