Final Fight One

Pointless to review a game that hasn't been available in years, but oh well. I shouldn't have sold my copy...

I've come to believe that Final Fight One is probably the definitive version of Final Fight.

-Mighty Final Fight (NES)-too hard, doesn't really play that well (and obviously the visuals and music aren't up to par)
-Final Fight (Arcade-also emulated on Playstation Portable/Playstation 2, etc.)-the second worst music (behind the NES version), and lacks the nice interface and extras of the other versions.
-Final Fight (SegaCD)-one of the best versions. Enhanced in quite a few ways from the arcade version, and nothing's been cut.
-Final Fight/Final Fight: Guy (SNES)-Probably my third favorite version. A few things are altered and cut do to memory constraints (including the most dull level in the game, and one of the three characters). Music is enhanced substantially over the arcade version, and overall I like this better than the arcade.

-Final Fight One (GBA)-Now we get to why I think this one may even be better than the SegaCD release (at least as a single player game). Visually it's very close to the other versions. Better in some ways, though apparently a few light effects were cut that were in the SNES game. The music isn't quite as good as the SNES release, but still vastly superior to the arcade one.
Beyond being portable, the other big improvement is this version has the most single player content. There are a decent number of unlockables that you get basically just for playing through the game. Most significantly, Cody and Guy from the Street Fighter Alpha incarnations are fully playable characters with completely different art and somewhat different fighting styles-essentially giving this release 5 fully playable characters.Buy Final Fight One!
