    The RPG free roaming nature of the game is great and actually reminded me a little of the Tobal games from times past.

    Fists of Vengeance makes no pretence at being anything close to intelligent - it happily revels in its shameless idiocy, but it's fun through and through.
  3. GameShark

    Beatdown is a solid fighting themed action role-playing game brought down a notch by too much area transition loading and some limited promised features (like the ability to interrogate every character in the game).
  4. Gaming Age

    Building up a powerful gang from nothing under the watchful eye of the man sounds like fun, but the process in Beat Down is shallow and tiresome.
  5. Yahoo!

    It's even less successful as an adventure game because it's so superficial, small, and indistinct. There are very few memorable characters, although everyone has his or her own name.

    A dumb, forgettable game and nothing else. [Sept 2005, p.100]

    Other underachieving facets of the game, such as the awful, wildly repetitive music and the atrocious voice-acting, probably deserve comment, but I'm all out of apologies.

    A chock-full of cliches, crap, poor animation, silly story, bad camera, poor voice acting... you name it, it's there.
