Final Fight
represents straightforward arcade brawling at its absolute best. That
the entire arcade game now fits in your pocket is quite frankly insane Final Fight is the best game ever made. If
you don’t agree with that statement, consider the following words:
Bred, Andore Jr., G. Oriber, Edi E., Two P, and, ladies and gentlemen of
the jury, Metro City Mayor Mike Haggar. These are some of the most
unforgettable characters in gaming history, and they all appeared first
in Final Fight. If you’re still not impressed, then stop reading now you
won’t appreciate Final Fight One, an almost perfect translation of the
arcade original. In case you’re unfamiliar with the Final
Fight legend, but were impressed by the list of characters and so are
still reading, here’s the deal: Final Fight is the seminal side
scrolling beat-’em up. Technically, Double Dragon may have come first,
but Final Fight perfected the genre. Imagine Street Fighter if it wasn’t
designed for monocle-wearing fancy lads. if it had a more meat and
potatoes combat system, involved fighting a lot more than one enemy at a
time, featured plenty of smashing barrels with your fist to see if
there’s any treasure or hunks of meat inside, and required a lot more
walking to the right. And then imagine that not only can you punish the
thugs by pile-driving them, but you can also make them cry by busting up
their cars. Then stop imagining, because it’s all contained in Final
Fight.

London Racer 2
is the sequel to the game London Racer also known as m25 Racer
developed by Davilex. I’ve got to say that I enjoyed M25 Racer more and I
really think London Racer 2 is definitely not the greatest racer arcade
I have played. London Racer 2 is an arcade racing game, in which you
enter an illegal street race organization as a rookie. This organization
sets up illegal races on the m25 and in London and Oxford. In this
hierarchic organization you start in the small league, but when you’re
good enough, they let you enter the “Luxury sports car league” but at
the end, you’ll be trying to reach the ultimate league: the “GT Racer
League”. During the leagues, you try to go faster and faster through
buying extras and power-ups for your car to tune it up. By finishing
higher in the leagues, you’ll earn more money with which you can buy
even better cars or upgrade your current car. You’ll be able to get
money and other items like, nitro boosts and -fixing icons-, which
naturally fixes your car, by picking them up during the race. The game
offers various cars types including bonus cars that can be used only by
finishing some levels. It also offers two sorts of gameplay
Graphics
For a start the game graphics aren’t too bad, but it is definitely not
as great as it could’ve been. The graphics aren’t realistic, which make
the game less fun to play. The game’s environment lacks quality, and
could’ve been a lot more detailed. But still I have to say that the
environment of the courses include a number of items like: coffee
tables, street lights, cars, buses, construction cones and more, which
add a lot to the race atmosphere. But still, some of those items look
shallow and with too little detail, especially the traffic cars. I have
to add that I liked the character design, because each of them has their
own personality that reflects the car design. You can use three
different driving view modes: hood view, bumper view and rear view. I
know doesn’t matter to some people, but I must say that the game’s menu
design really lacks in colors, and basically look shallow.
Sound
London racer 2 offers a general race game sounds which includes: great
thrilling race music, sounds effects like police sirens, car sounds
effects like car engines, tires, brake sounds, crash sound, environment
sounds like birds, traffic sound effects and more. Along with the car
radio which adds a lot to the gameplay.
The one thing I really liked in London Racer 2 is the sound. When you
start to drive you can listen to the radio songs and programs that can
really make you laugh. The addition of the radio really makes the game a
lot more fun to play. In general the game sound effects quality is
average – London Racer 2 doesn’t offer outstanding music/sound. But as I
said earlier it adds a lot to the atmosphere.
Gameplay
First of all I most say that the control of the car is very unrealistic
and not fun to play. The car steering is very hard and tight. The
artificial intelligence of the cop cars is not good either, and even has
a few bugs. For example I often noticed that the cop car ran into
buildings, and sometimes the cops didn’t even chase me after I broke
traffic rules.
London Racer 2 isn’t a realistic game, in regards of physics either.
Speaking of which, the sense of gravity is really strange at times. For
example, when you accelerate and hit some object, like cars or walls,
your car rises into the air like it was a feather, and if you hit a
street light it brake right out of its place like a toothpick and flies
away.
Multiplayer
As I already mentioned London Racer 2 offers just a local one, including
two game modes: the first one is a duel, where you race against your
friend in split screen mode. The second mode is “Cop VS Racer”, where
the cops have to destroy or catch up with the racer in order to win, and
the racer has to survive for some time in order to win. The game offers
a simple local multiplayer that can be fun for a little while.

Moto GP 1
is a Spanish motorbike racing game. The goal is to beat other opponents
in a circle race with skillful driving. Play in three modes:
championship where you’ll race in a series of races, quick race to get
on the race track immediately, and time trial mode where you’ll have to
beat the clock. Excellent graphics and physics. While it doesn’t have as
many tracks or as much replay value as we’d like, MotoGP definitely
deserves a spot on your shelf.
MotoGP features real bikes, actual
racetracks, and the same factory teams that race in Dorna’s FIM Road
Racing World Championship Grand Prix circuit, or simply GP for short.
The list of bike manufacturers include Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, and
Aprilia; and some of the world’s best teams, like Repsol Honda, are
represented in the game. The bikes vary in their top speed,
acceleration, braking distance, and handling characteristics, but only
slightly. You’ll be hard pressed to find any real difference from bike
to bike, other than each one’s appearance. You can choose to race any of
MotoGP five racetracks and 12 bikes from the outset, or you can opt to
start a full-length season and gradually earn your way to the higher
courses. In this mode, you choose from a limited number of teams and
race the five tracks as you would in the real GP circuit. You’re allowed
one practice session per track in order to properly gauge the track,
one qualifying round to determine your standing on the grid, and then
the actual race. You’re awarded points based on your overall performance
in each race, and depending on how you did in the season, your team
will either extend your contract or release you to another team. After
three seasons (five on the highest difficulty setting), the rider with
the most points is crowned the champ.
