Of course, Fighting Force lets you get your knuckles bloody, too. But why blast a baddie with a gun when you can chuck a car instead? The game has its share of normal weapons, too, such as knives, guns and missile launchers. Fighting Force's levels are so interactive that whatever isn't nailed down can be used against enemies. Or smash open that pop machine and use the soda cans inside to K.O. See that hot dog cart? Pick it up and crash it down on your enemies. Some stages-such as the wide-open sidewalk and city park areas-allow more exploration than others, but all levels allow full freedom of movementīut beyond its mere 3-Dness, the coolest thing about Fighting Force is that nearly everything you find can be used as a weapon. By the end of the game, you'll have battled through an office building, a submarine and a shopping mall flying fortress, among other locales. You'll also come across forks in the road in some levels, so you'll have to play through Fighting Force several times before you see all 30 stages. When you get near the exit point of one stage, the computer takes over and runs your character to the next stage of battle. You can take the fight out into the road if you want, clambering onto the safety meridian and tossing villains into the paths of speeding cars. But since the polygonal environment is so expansive, you don't have to wade through the villains in a straight line from one end of the level to the other.
The game begins on a sidewalk alongside a busy street, with your character under attack by suit-wearing goons from all directions. The game packs 30 stages in all, which are divided into 10 levels, and it's obvious that these stages are inspired by the Final Fight and Streets of Rage beat-'em-ups. Now Core Design, the Unbiased developers behind Tomb Raider, is finally hitting the mark with Fighting Force, a 3-D fighter that lets gamers spread out and kill someone.
Die Hard Arcade was really, really close, but its corridors and rooms didn't give gamers much room to maneuver. So why hasn't anyone developed a 3-D, go-anywhere version of Final Fight/ Double Dragons yet? ASC Games' Perfect Weapon was a step in the right direction, but its retendered environments were too limiting.
