    Repetitive garbage. The game is very boring and way too repetitive, same combos, same combat and no variety at all, no save option and **** music, cheap graphics and character design, play Streets of rage remake instead. Not to mention that nobody plays this game.

    I really wanted to like this game, growing up in the 70s and 80s I got to experience every arcade game from Double Dragon, Final Fight and many many others and Fight 'N Rage does a really good job for the retro experience, even down to an authentic CRT screen effect, but don't let the looks, and the positive reviews fool you - this game has a few hidden, and unpleasant surprises..

    I've played almost every single side scrolling beat-em-up style games from the 80s and 90s, whilst this game is quite authentic in its representation, the gameplay is just dreadful and suffers from the worst issues the same games had in the 90s with far too many enemies on screen but unforgivably are the bosses which are just cheap and each time you get defeated you have to essentially restart the stage again, so you essentially just brute forcing your way through the game, the game is really designed for multi-player and playing single player is significantly harder.

    Bosses move faster than you, and have a greater range so becomes more annoying to fight, and sequences like biker gang is just moronic, being hit once can get you chain locked without you being able to easily escape and/or getting caught in a bike explosion which pretty much insta-kills you.

    For the playthrough, I picked Gal because she is supposedly fast, agile and in games like this...that is a huge advantage, well I found her speed to be less than fast and about as agile as a dead hamster, all bosses move faster than her regular walking speed and if you are fighting multiple bosses at once...single player? Forget it, you're in for a frustrating time as you get chained and smacked around like a doll.

    I had issues with my xbox pad, I couldn't charge with thumb sticks at all and had to use the D-pad for charging attacks, not sure what was going on with that and that didn't help much when surrounded by enemies.

    My suggestion for the future is to be careful with balancing 2D beat-em-ups for single player first and foremost, the vast majority of players will always be playing solo and that means if you need to account for that, some levels and bosses feel straight up they was designed for multiplayer and that is a problem, this isn't about getting gud, this is about balance for a genre that has always been about instant gratification and quick/easy gameplay.    … Expand

    Fight N Rage dispatches another radical blast from the past. If you ever played Final Fight or Streets of Rage you will just love what feels like a new entry on the awesome line of brawlers from Capcom.

    Fight’N Rage easily deserves a spot alongside Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, and Final Fight, offering extremely satisfying action, sharp foes, deep movesets, solid music, and delightful punches.
