    I have no idea why I seem to be loving games more than everyone else right now, but that doesn't change the fact that this is a damn fine beat-em-up, and it's a perfect, mindless, meaty bit of action that the genre sorely needed.

    Unfortunately, the end result is a little more Rambo, a lot less Rocky. It's going to take a rethinking to pull the 3D brawler out of its "me too" phase, and Streetwise certainly isn't helping.

    Everything Final Fight made great is conspicuously absent in Streetwise.

    Erase those memories of halcyon days spent nurturing your arthritis with the original coin-op, because Streetwise does it no kind of justice. [May 2006, p.124]

    Exasperating mini-games; bad AI, camera jams, and a slap in the face story to any fan...This is not good...no--this is really not good. [Apr 2006, p.63]

    Final Fight: Streetwise doesn't look good, doesn't play well, and it can't even get its unlockable bonus--the original arcade game--right.

    Instantly forgettable and certainly regrettable, this fighter is preposterously short on both brains and brawn. Here's to hoping that Streetwise listens to its title and is indeed the final Final Fight.

    Final Fight Streetwise sticks true to the original arcade. If you're used to playing GTA, you'll have no problem with the camera. Final Fight Streetwise sticks true to the original arcade.

I'm having a blast. It's a true arcade style beat em up. Interesting story, great voice acting, atmosphere, and soundtrack which is customizable. It's like Street of Rage meets Kingpin: Life of Crime. How the heck is this scored a 4?!… Expand

    É totalmente abstrato fazer um julgamento ruim dessa obra. Streetwise é o modelo perfeito de Beat'em Up portado para o 3D. Um exemplo a ser seguido.
