Message: [QUOTE="Anim8rDude, post: 42441, member: 2425"] Recently played this as well & yeah, like you say "half baked" is kinda what really describes the game. The combat of the game is actually pretty darn fun, but even though you're kinda fighting people most of the time, it just never quite feels like enough! I absolutely love choosing different characters & pulling up their move lists. But in Beat Down the fights are unsatisfyingly short. I was always like "[I]But I wanna fight more![/I]" & never really bothered with the Wanted system. Playing dressup though was surprisingly fun & is actually quite impressive in this game. Where I start to feel conflicted is if Beat Down is truly a hidden gem. In the uncommon tier we have stuff like Nano Breaker, Genji, Sword of Etheria, Chaos Legion, etc. These games encompass everything I like about 2000s action games but Beat Down just feels... not as good? Putting God Hand on the same tier as Beat Down sound like blasphemy to me! I'm always looking for the next unknown action game but Beat Down was not one of them. Interesting style though, 6/10 is more than fair. Great article! [/QUOTE]
