About
Cliffhanger is a Western-developed single player brawler based on the Sylvester Stallone movie of the same name. In addition to standard Final Fight-style brawler sections, it also wall-climbing and autoscrolling platforming stages for variety.

Trivia
There's also a Cliffhanger game on the NES, but it's completely different. In the movie, Sylvester Stallone's character stayed warm by burning money.

Cliffhanger isn't terrible. It's just extremely boring. The combat is basically Final Fight with nothing to set itself apart. The graphics, sound, and enemy design are all serviceable but far from notable. Its best feature is its fair deal of variety, as it essentially has three gameplay modes. It's single-player only unfortunately.
