    The graphics are superb for a GBA game, with colorful characters that take up a good chunk of the screen, and bright, detailed backgrounds.

    The best home conversion yet, better than the Sega CD version, and possibly the arcade. [Winter 2001, p.50]

    It's not an entirely deep game, but it's very satisfying from start to finish.

    Simply put, Final Fight One is the arcade game shrunk down to portable size. It offers nothing more or less than what you'd expect from such a transformation.

    Repetitive, primitive and even a bit tedious...and I dug every minute of it. [Nov 2001, p.220]

    It may not be flashy, the gameplay might be incredibly unsophisticated and repetitive, and the whole game is certainly showing its age-but it's still fun.

    Final Fight One's AI is cheaper than a bottle of discount wine.

    Love this game! Spend a sh*tload of money on the arcade version when I was young. And now You can play it anytime, anywhere :) It's a Love this game! Spend a sh*tload of money on the arcade version when I was young. And now You can play it anytime, anywhere :) It's a shame that roxy and poison are missing though. And I would have liked to see more of axl kicking butt with slash. But other than that, it's a peace of old school heaven on your gba. Final Fight was the first, and is still the best!!… Expand

    The Beat 'em Up game that made the genre stand out as one of the bests in the industry. A true classic for the arcade!

    Fun side-scrolling fighting games, almost the same as the arcade original. There is a reason that even used copies of this game go for $20Fun side-scrolling fighting games, almost the same as the arcade original. There is a reason that even used copies of this game go for $20 today even though the game was released 12 years ago. This version can be played on any of the Gameboy systems that supports GBA titles like the Gameboy SP, DS and DSlite, etc. Great game, but getting harder and harder to find it for cheap. I personally feel this game is better than many other games of it's type like Streets of Rage.… Expand

    Nice graphics, very true to the arcade. But I thought this game was boring. It's been collecting dust ever since I bought it.
