Final Fight 2 is the SNES-exclusive follow-up to Capcom's legendary brawler. It features new playable characters, stages, enemies, and most importantly, two player gameplay. It's a globetrotting adventure that plays exactly like the original.
Like Final Fight 1, the US version of this game changed the female characters to dudes because of Nintendo's policies. Chun-Li and Guile from Street Fighter can be seen in the background at a few points in the game.
Final Fight 2 is easily the worst game in the series. Everything about it seems flat and uninspired compared to the original. The enemies are mostly pushovers and the combat can become surprisingly tedious at times. However, it's still a solid two-player brawler that's well above average for the SNES. It's just really disappointing considering its pedigree.
