Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) episode 181: Bad Final Fight Games. The Nerd reviews the bad Final Fight games. That's right, there's bad final fight games. Final Fight Revenge for the Sega Saturn and Final Fight Streetwise for the PlayStation 2. Final Fight is a series of beat 'em up video games by Capcom, which began with the arcade release of Final Fight in 1989. Set in the fictional Metro City, the games focus on a group of heroic vigilantes who fights against the control and various threats of criminal gangs, primarily the Mad Gear Gang. But let's look at the worst of the bunch.

Revenge I can accept it. I mean, it was the beginning of 3D, and they were obviously experimenting. As for Streetwise, I like to think is Kyle's bad trip due to used bad steroids, because he sure wasn't a good character, and he barely matters. If you want a good beat them up in the PS2 era, play The Warriors, Urban Reing, or The Bouncer.
