A ballet of beautiful bloodletting graces this beat-em-up with a maximum of only 2 player simultaneous play, but the ability to choose from 3 different tall brawlers-- BERSERKER (clad in blue, and is good at strength and speed), BULLOVA (clad in yellow, and is super strong but slow) and BLITZ (clad in red, and is the fastest but weakest). Your attack buttons are just punch and kick, but together or combined with a certain press of the joystick can carry out several different moves to decimate your opponents! Each stage will have waves of gangs attacking you in various New York locations (Times Square, Coney Island, the Harbor, among others) and after a number of them are eliminated you get the pleasure of trading blows with their boss, who is more of your size and requires a great deal of punishment to bring down (and often carries a very damaging weapon that hopefully you can knock out of their hands). THE MOVES: Run/charge into enemies: Either both punch and kick together or double tap left or right on the joystick (and you can press attack during the charge for another attack); Grab an enemy: Get close while fighting them and you're likely to grab them-- press punch to lift them over your shoulder (you can walk around this way), and again to throw them; Face smash: Press Down and punch to slam a downed enemy's face into the ground; Stomp: Press Down and kick to stomp on a downed enemy's back; Body Swing: Press Punch near an enemy's legs to swing them around and possibly knock other enemies down; Body Kick: Press Down and Kick to injure a downed opponent; Combo Attack: Press Punch or Kick 3 times for a different attack with the 3rd blow; and Face Smash: Press Punch while dealing with an enemy as another comes from behind to smash their faces together (awesome!). Complete 6 stages and kill the electric cyborg Martha Splatterhead (!) to return New York to its former glory. Other gamers probably generally don't like this game as much as I do, but man oh man did I have fun with this unashamedly brutal beat-em-up. Hope you all stay warm, well-fed and entertained, and hope you join me as we wrap up this series soon with game #1! Till then..
