The resurgance of the beat-em-up genre?

[gameoverDude]

Control is a big deal in beat-em ups, but Zombie Revenge implemented so many other things so well (atmosphere, use of guns and fisticuffs, wide array of weapons, play feel), that it's easier to forgive the difficulty level and bad control when looking at the game as a whole.

Beat em ups are dead to me, and The Warriors, and Final Fight Streetwise drove the nail further into the coffin. As far as I'm concerned, the last and only good 3D beat em up was Dynamite Cop on the DC.

Dynamite Cop starts out decent, but it's too short. Spikeout Battlestreet is better for a 3D beatemup, IMO.

I'm with Kedawa- a Ninja Warriors Again type game with at least KOF visuals would be nice.

The last great one.

There's only one thing I need in my beat-'em-ups: 80's fashion. On everybody.

You beat me to that exact reply.

Sengoku 3 ftw

Sengoku 3 was decent but I felt all the combo stuff didn't add much to the game or make in anymore enjoyable.

Yeah but now thanks to you this thread isn't, asshole.

At least I have something to contribute to the thread.

I have high hopes for God Hand. I found the E3 demo pretty fun,and hope they can pull off a full game's worth of entertainment. It's beat-'em-ups last hope at the moment.

Then you should really hurry up and post it.
