Guardians of the 'Hood is easily one of the worst brawlers ever made. The combat is sloppy, the enemies are bland, the graphics are wannabe Mortal Kombat trash, and the music is grating. You rarely fight more than two enemies at once, yet fighting them is still an exercise in tedium. Five minutes of this game feels like an hour in the worst way possible.
