Dynamite Cop!

"I just knock a guy out with sushi platter!"

When I look for beat them up games I want a great non-stop action experience that will leave me begging for more like a baby begging for a bottle. This game provided me with that and more and is now one of my favorite games of all time. Here's my review.

Game play:10 Do you remember the days of streets of rage, and double dragon? The feeling you got when you and your friend watched in awe as you slammed your foes to the ground? When you grabbed bats and poles and knocked your opponents to next year? This game brings that feeling back as you and your friend do it again in great 3-d graphics, more moves, and better weapons such as machine guns, pistols, chairs, warship missiles, bazookas, and any other thing you can get your greasy palms on. I once threw and refrigerator on top of an enemy. That's just some of the weapons that can be used.
The game revolve around quick timer event cut-scenes. Just like in Shenmue. You must hit the button at the right time. If you miss it, you most likely in up losing help and fighting more foes. If you hit it on time you gain some health and avoid getting into a fight.
Their are 3 characters to pick from, along with 3 different missions. After you clear those missions you unlock 3 more which are even harder. When you clear those 3 you unlock more characters including some stupid monkey. The game also contains a huge art gallery. You can find pictures while playing the game to unlock more art in the gallery. This keeps you playing forever.
They also include other modes such as versus mode, survival mode, and a old 80's game. Survival mode is probably the best of all where you can fighting foes until you die in a casino, restaurant, or kitchen. In versus mode you get to beat the tar out of one of your friends.

Audio:10 Awesome suspense music. Kind of like a mission impossible. It really puts you in the game. They are very clear grunts and taunts. The sound of the explosions will surely bring a tear to your eye.

Control:10 Most games like this have 4 or 5 buttons. Which result in just a button mashing game, yet dynamite cop puts tons of moves in it. Great throw moves, and combos will surely impress your friends. Theirs even unique special moves too. All the moves are easy to learn. You be fighting better than Bruce Lee in no time.

Replay: 10 Un lockable art pictures, characters, missions, weapons, and tons of ways to beat the game. Not to mention the great 2-player mode you'll be playing this one for a long time my friend.

The final verdict: Get this game if your a fighting fan that craves more. I managed to get this one for 4.99. If I were you I see that this was in my stash of great fighting games, but I'm not you am I.
