  • Summary: The long-running Final Fight series returns for another go with Final Fight: Streetwise. You can play as Kyle, the brother of Cody from the original series. When you find that Cody is in trouble, you must roam the streets of Metro City until the mystery is solved. Final Fight: Streetwise is a third-person game that stays true to its beat-'em-up roots but adds light role-playing elements and minigames to the fray as well. A respect system has been added so that your decisions affect how characters in the world react and relate to you. Expand

  1. Final Fight was a classic and Streetwise is a long way from some of the crummy remakes that seem to be springing out lately, so if you're the type to go into everything fists flying, then Travers is the perfect character for you.
  2. The technical issues and unambitious design come with a chaser of charming silliness. [Apr 2006, p.97]
  3. The game itself isn't bad in structure and gameplay, but the camera system pretty much dashes all of Final Fight Streetwise's hopes of being a decent title.
  4. If there's any good reason to purchase, rent or even borrow this game, I haven't found it.

    Don't buy this if you love Final Fight; it will ruin your perception of the series. Stick with the original SNES and Arcade versions; this is no fun. Expand
  3. I'm a big fan of Final Fight's 1 and 2 during the SNES days, but Streetwise just killed the franchise and I think it's time for a reboot. C'mon Capcom, bring back both Final Fight and Darkstalkers the way they were. Remember Street Fighter IV? Take some notes and figure something out for new ways to bring the "f" back in fighting.

    This game pisses me off. It feels like they didn't know what they wanted to be. The fighting sux too. At least there's an old-school 2P Arcade Mode saving it from being a total waste. Expand
