Review-When I first saw this one at the local game shop back in 1992, I almost lost consciousness!
This game had HUGE characters, never before seen zooming backgrounds and excellent sound-effects.. The spirit gauge was a novelty and the Mega fire ball got me pumped!
The drawbacks? Being allowed to select only between Ryo and Robert in the story mode and the price. You had to sell family members, pets and whatnot in order to afford this beast!
I fondly remember one stage in particular set into acity back alley with the police sirens going on and off continually. It was almost possible to breath the ghetto atmosphere!
Bottom line: introduced a small-scale revolution in terms of graphical detail, even with visible face damage! 8/10
