You know you're in trouble when other terrible video games are compared to you. Though only a little worse than Charlie's Angels (GameCube) and not as bad as Hidden Invasion (PlayStation2), Fighting Force is the difinitive bad adventure-fighting game second in the crap list only to Burning Fight. Even Brawl Bros and Peace Keepers are better than this, and that's saying a lot.
You get your pick from four forgettable crime fighters: pixie-pig-tailed Alana, gruff Hawk, leather-pants-wearing "Look at me, I'm Nabiki Tendo" Mace, and prison inmate Smasher. They're out to get a psychopath who believes the world should have ended at the beginning of 2000 A.D. and is now determined to make that happen. Maybe he should have waited through the other 23 times it turned New Years day across the world.
Many Sega Saturn owners didn't realize then how lucky they were that this game was cancelled on their system. Nintendo 64 owners were not so lucky, and I wasn't so lucky after getting the PlayStation version.
The controls are sloppy, the hit detection is horrible, especially the dash attacks, and the character animation is almost jerky enough to look like an old claymation cartoon.
If there is one redeeming factor, it is the music. Though not great, the musical scores in this game are a nice touch. The only reason you should buy this disc is to pop it into a CD-playing radio or computer and skip track one since that's just a data track ... meaning all you will hear, if anything, is an annoying buzz. Start on Track 2, sit back, and enjoy the only good thing about this game.

Alrighty, let me just start off by saying don't let people who play "Final Fantsay 7" sway your judgement about this. While "Final Fantsay 7" is an amazing game, it varies VERY HEAVILY from "Fighting Force", so what some people like (fun fighting games)and others love (RPG gamers) we are at war with the worlds. It's better to agree to disagree here. Okay, let us begin with the review. I love this game. From the very beginning where you can choose your favorite character (Mace Daniels is my personal favorite), to the last moment when you deliver a crushing blow to your enemy. It is ingenius. I love how you can pick up weapons like guns and bats and that you can deliver really "snazzy" throws/blocks. Like people have said, it is like a "Streets of Rage" for the now. Let me break it down overall for you:
Graphics- Compared to now, it is not up to bar. Compare it to when it frist came out, bar none! 5/5, although the animation can sometime slow down.
Sound- Ain't nothing more prettier than hearing your enemies bone crunch! 5/5
Control- Obviously this is the black-sheep of the family. The controls are clunky and choppy, and sometimes they interfere with the great gaming experience. Thank God for infinite health codes! 3/5 (ouch)
Overall- Aside from the controls being what they are, the game is a smooth ride of fun fighting and brainless beat-'em-up. I feel this game is totally undercredited, and that we need to change that. ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FOREST FIRES!
Rating: - Worst Game Ever!!!
...I borrowed this game from my friend and beat it in about an hour. How can a video game be good if you can beat it in a hour? Secondly the replay value is 0 and the loading time is long...If your looking for a good PS1 game go with Final Fantasy 7.
