Jul 26, 2018  There's really no real justified reason why we fight, perhaps for the notoriety or for some it's the sheer rush of adrenaline that pumps through your body.

Her Void Explosion ultimate skill creates a large black hole to control enemy actions, pull them inward, and deal a bleeding effect to them.

Fighting Force is a 1997 3Dbeat 'em up developed by Core Design and published by Eidos. It was released for PlayStation, Microsoft Windows, and Nintendo 64.

Gameplay[edit]

Players control one of four characters as they move through urban and science fiction environments, battling waves of oncoming enemies with weapons including soda cans, knives, cars, and guns.[2] The player can make some choices as to which territory to travel through.[2]

Story[edit]

The four characters have various reasons for taking on Dr. Dex Zeng, a criminal mastermind with an army at his command who predicted that the world would end in the year 2000. After New Year's Eve 1999, Dr. Zeng believed that there was an error preventing the apocalypse, so decides to correct it by destroying the world himself.[3] The action starts with a police cordon around Zeng's office skyscraper, moving to such locales as a shopping mall, subway and Coast Guard base before finally ending at the top of Zeng's island headquarters.

Characters[edit]

Players choose from a selection of four characters: Hawk Manson, Ben 'Smasher' Jackson, Mace Daniels, and Alana McKendricks.[4] Hawk Manson and Mace Daniels are two all-around characters. Hawk is somewhat stronger than Mace who is in turn faster than Hawk. Ben 'Smasher' Jackson is a large and slow bruiser capable of lifting and throwing the engines of cars at enemies. Alana McKendricks is a fast but soft-hitting teenager with an effective jump-kick. All four characters have a special move that can be performed with the loss of a portion of health.

Development[edit]

Core Design collaborated with ten coders from EA Japan in making the game.[5]

The story line and character designs were done by Marc Silvestri.[4] The character of Dr. Zeng was inspired by Heaven's Gate.[4]

Core Design originally pitched the game to Sega as a potential fourth entry in Sega's Streets of Rage series. Sega declined; according to Core, Sega explained that it had its own plans for continuing the series.[3] Core opted to go ahead with the game as a standalone, multi-platform title, and started work on it.[3] In addition to the PlayStation, Windows, and Nintendo 64 versions, a Sega Saturn version was developed and eventually completed. After Eidos decided against publishing this version, Sega Europe secured the publishing rights and announced a European release date of November 1997.[6] However, it was cancelled. An early prototype, with older character designs, was leaked in November 2008.[7]

Reception[edit]

Next Generation reviewed the PlayStation version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that 'despite its derivative nature, Fighting Force is a very fun game. Yet, it's just not the same huge leap forward for the Final Fight genre that we might have expected from the creators of Tomb Raider.'[8]

Upon the game's release, it received mixed reviews.

  • Official PlayStation Magazine - 3/5 [9]
  • Electronic Gaming Monthly - 7.6/10 [9]
  • IGN - 5.5/10 [9]
  • GameSpot - 5.3/10.[9]

Ports and sequels[edit]

A Nintendo 64 version of the game titled Fighting Force 64 and published by Crave Entertainment was released in North America and Europe in 1999. Differences include partially improved graphics[10] and changes in the available number of player lives.

A sequel, Fighting Force 2, was released in 1999 for the PlayStation and Dreamcast. Unlike the first title, Fighting Force 2 focuses on the character of Hawk Manson exclusively, and rewards a more stealthy approach.

A second sequel, Fighting Force 3 was also in development for the Xbox and PlayStation 2, but was cancelled during development.[citation needed]

Summary[edit]

The evil secret society known as the Telephone Pole Gang seeks to take over the world by first taking over a certain prefecture on Kyūshū (they never specify which one). In order to thwart the evil plans of the Telephone Pole Gang, Imazuru High School creates the Prefectural Earth Defense Force, composed of problem teachers and students from the school. They are also joined by a cyborg transfer student from India.

The Telephone Pole Gang is commanded by Chilthonian (full name Kisoya Chilthonian Bunzaemon Jr. (木曽屋チルソニアン文左衛門Jr., Kisoya Chirusonian Bunzaemon Junia)).
