any good beat em ups for the PS1? or even hybrids like Oni

[Ackman]

besides fighting force 1 or 2

Note: Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, final fight = beat em up
Street Fighter, MK = fighter

Thanks

If you don't mind getting a japanese import. Try out Panzer Bandit.

Great, yet expensive at times, Game.

[NeoZeedeater]

Fist of the North Star is pretty good. It's an import

just did a google image search it looks awesome, I know of a 3d beat em up one which has a DBZ element to it but I've forgotten the name,

I mean't to look it up.

Do you mean like running around a field and throwing huge fireballs at people? Destrega is like that, but it's a 1 on 1 fighter.

Hey Ackman,

Don't know how good this game is, but I picked up Gekido for PS1 the other day. Haven't gotten the chance to check it out yet, though. Maybe do a bit of research on this one and check out some reviews.

On the other hand, I got it for $1.99 at Gamestop ... so that could speak volumes right there. But hey, I love beat 'em ups, so even if it's complete crap, it was only 2 bucks.

Unfortunately I don't know of many other beat 'em ups for the PS1, which is a shame.

hmmn I'm sure it's not 1 on 1 I might of had pics at one stage, for some reason I'm sure it has EX or VX in the title somewhere ? Damn...

I played the gba version it wasn't bad so it should be decent at least, good deal.

[WiseSalesman]

The PS1 Gekido is awful, but nothing's a bad deal for $1.99.

[bargora]

Check out Jackie Chan Stuntmaster. Beat up baddies with a big fish and participate in other assorted foolishness. Fun!

I might be the only one in the world who feels this way, but I thought Fighting Force was decent.

[Cirrus]

No, I did, too, but he said "besides fighting force 1/2". However, I'm not sure if it was just that my tastes weren't as refined a handful of years back.

Looking at the reviews now, they look pretty grim.

[Ackman]

fighting force could have been decent but I'm sure it had a hand in the demise of beat em ups as a whole

damn that edios they couldn't be happy with making 1 or 2 horrible brawlers they had to make awful hybrid brawlers like:


ominkron the nomad soul (the intro was still awesome though)
Urban chaos
etc etc

[notoriusvig]

Rise to Honor (PS2) looks pretty good. There were also the 4 different TMNT games that have been released, as of late. I wouldn't recommend TMNT:Battle Nexus unless you're interested in the unlockable TMNT Arcade game. Also, I hear Batman:Rise of Sin Tzu is decent.

Edit:Please ignore my post, I hadn't realized you wanted just PS1 games until now, sorry

[CasualCoreGamer]

I really dug Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman and I'm a couple of hours into Soul of the Samurai, which I'm enjoying as well. If you're into 3d, I'd reccomend those.

[pragmatic insanester]

captain commando
crisis beat
fighting force
gekido: urban fighters
panzer bandit
perfect weapon
pulirula
the rapid angel
ridegear guybrave
tenchi wo kurau 2
zeiram zone


AND OF COURSE I FORGOT JACKIE CHAN

also, i think ridegear guybrave 1 was mistakenly labeled a beat 'em up when Gear Fighter Denshou is not listed. maybe?

Hey, Omikron was a good game. The Dreamcast port wasn't done very well, but it was a good game nonetheless, and ahead of its time. I don't think it was developed by Eidos originally, anyway.

[Ackman]

Thanks guys great replys

Shooting and adventure aspect was okay but the fighting meh, really awful, they should rather have left it out, Oni did a much better job.

I was playing Tekken 3 on the weekend and they have a beat-'em-up mode that's reminiscent of Final Fight.
