    This is a budget-priced port of the Fatal Fury 2 upgrade. There are several difficulty levels and a good selection of fighters. Unfortunately, the graphics have a "smooth" filter that cannot be disabled. It has the look of a Sega Genesis game. Fans of early NEO GEO games will enjoy this. I would rate it with a 7.5 out of 10.

  1. SNK’s long line of fighting games are classics for a reason. With Fatal Fury Special pretty much being the benchmark of the early fighters (not to mention the harbinger for the modern-day 3D fighters) it’s no surprise that this game rocks.

    Fatal Fury Special still represents excellent fighting mechanics, but the Xbox 360 controller's d-pad will cramp any fighting fan's style every time, the analog stick was never meant for 2D fighters, and Hori's new stick will, for whatever reason, not allow the Left and Right Triggers to be remapped.
