I remember playing this kind of game for the Sega Dreamcast, but the name name eludes me.

Dynamite Deka aka DIE HARD ARCADE..... that game was pretty damn awesome... I also remember playing it in the arcades... so good... they did a house of the dead game called Zombie Revenge that played just like DHA as well.

Never bothered with FIGHTING FORCE... I ended up picking up GEKIDO instead, during that drought of beat'em up games. Both of them are subpar, but at least Joe "Joe Mad" Madureira's artwork was nice.

Fear Effect 1&2? Holy crap this is amazing. Those games were awesome back in the day and I am glad more people will get to play them.

Was playing FE 1 the other day, introducing it to my little brother and his friends.
Good times were had, I hope everyone who has not played it before will at least pick up the first game (the best one imho).

I'm just waiting for Heart of Darkness. Anyone else remember that game, or am I the only one?

@doubtingthomas Is that the one with the little boy with a plasma gun trying to rescue his dog? Cause that game was stupid hard and awesome at the same time.

funny how back in the days during high school my friends and I were totally blown away by fear effect and its bossom beauties. Putting it in perspective, that game was somehow groundbreaking from a pure sexual content point of view. and 4 CDs? those were huge games!

Fear effect was a good series, really shocked we haven't had any new ones in the last decade.

Hana in HD cell shading would be amazing.

A long time ago they were working on a Fear Effect 3 for the PS2 but it was canceled. I cried that day....

The PS2 probably couldn't handle the improbability of those breasts.

I'm surprised Fear Effect 2 didn't get an Adult Only rating.

@nbinney Wow. AO indeed. I'd like to know how to got away with that. I mean sure, MAYBE nothing's happening there but... no, I don't think so.

Regardless, I hope they make their way stateside. I'd love to give FE a go at least. Never got a chance to when they were current.

Both Fighting Force games have already been on the Euro PSN store for a good month now.

Nice to see Fear Effect is incoming. :)

PSN needs to get crackin' on Tomba!

Fighting Force 1 was alright. Fear Effect is great for it's time. Haven't played the second game, but I guess now I'll be able to.

Don't even waste your time on Fighting Force guys. "Kind of sucks" is Joystiq's way of being generous. It's absolute garbage. I distinctly remember however, slaving away many hours on that game, I thought nostalgia would help me plow thru it when I picked it up on PSN. Boy, was I wrong.

"Fighting Force was originally intended to be Streets of Rage 4 for the Sega Saturn."
I was playing the video whilst reading the post. I thought, this game looks like a 3d Streets of Rage, especially when he did the supplex move on the guy in the beginning. Streets of Rage was fresh in my mind because I just picked up the mobile version on my iPhone.

"Also also noteworthy, the game kind of sucks."
There have been some funny posts and sentences on this site over the years, but that one is absolutely hilarious as I was thinking to myself, "this game looks like it kind of sucks."

You guys read my mind twice....even before I thought the thoughts. How do you do it?

Fighting Force 2 and Spikeout: Battle Street take the crowns as two of the worst beat'em ups ever. I had fun with Fighting Force, but I was pretty young back then.

Fighting Force was the best but the Sequel ruined it :(

So people should stop saying that this game would suck >:(

@Motwera

Hahaha, NO!

Joystiq's sentence didn't say this game WOULD suck, it says it DOES suck.

To me, and I could be wrong, but that implies that they know from playing it.

I remember having the most intense argument about the pros and cons of Fighting Force and Three Dirty Dwarves. My logic boiled down to: TDD has a guy who throws bowling balls; TDD has snot; TDD is superior. You can't beat that!

FF and TDD: what a pair of shitty games.

Fear Effect? Kind of cool idea at the time though I hated the second game.

Fighting Force? That game was never good.

Obscure fact about Fighting Force:
There was a demo disk prior to its release that had an element that was removed from the final game. In the demo level, you could fight in the street and throw the enemies into oncoming traffic. It was such a fun part of the game. When I bought the full game, I was so mad that they had removed the ability to fight in the street.

I still have my FE1 & 2 PS1 games. Lots of trial and error gameplay, but there wasn't anything quite like them back then.
