It says a lot about the overall quality of Eidos’ Fighting Force PSN download when the most special moment it has to offer happens to be the sight of the original PlayStation logo, followed by that turquoise piracy message. Seeing those distinctive images flash up on the screen, many middle-aged gamers will feel an overwhelming nostalgic shiver running up their spines.
Don’t let these two player gems from yesteryear slip away from your gaming radar. MenStuff has a look at some of the best co-op experiences around.

"During development Fighting Force was originally intended to be Streets of Rage 4. Despite it being re-worked into a new IP it still retains some of what made Streets of Rage great but walks a tightrope when presenting that action on a 3D plane which tends to make game play a little sluggish."
The classic Eidos Interactive brawler Fighting Force is available now across Europe and PAL territories for the PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network. Originally released in 1997 for the PlayStation, Fighting Force sees you playing as one of four characters moving through Sci-Fi and cityscape environments.
I had high hopes for this game back in the day, wishing it would be a Streets of Rage in 3D. Unfortunately it was very poor and didn't live up to my expectations.
I felt the same way. Hell, sometimes I throw the disc in just to make sure I was justified in my disappointment.
Arcades were more or less dead when PS1 launched. Arcades were great in the 80s and early 90s. Still remember when SF2 and MK hit the arcade. Great times! Also TMNT arcade was great fun too!
I loved playing this game in Co-Op, never played the sequel though. It looked terrible.

If you guys are gonna comment without reading the article, can you at least read the first line of the blurb?
I did read the first line which is why I said the title needs to be fixed. The title is misleading making people think Fighting Force just came to PSN when its been on PSN for a long ass time already. It just came to PSN for EU. You just proved me point.
oh the memories of playing the demo of this game for hours :P
Lots of nostalgia here, but I'm sure the game doesn't hold up these days.
I don't care what anyone says, this game was fun as hell when it first came out
