Jet Li: Rise to Honor

85 %Match

2004PlayStation

Brings what grabs you about Target: Renegade: melee combat with weapons or fists, a realistic look and action-packed real-time combat.

You play Kit Yun, fighting through Hong Kong and San Francisco in a film-inspired martial arts adventure. Its appeal lies in cinematic melee combat with combos, weapons and gunplay across a dozen levels.

Mortal Kombat: Special Forces

Linear, curated structure

A Mortal Kombat spin-off beat 'em up in which you play Jax, brawling through 3D levels with combos and special moves while hunting the villain Kano. It is a clunky, little-loved departure from the series' usual one-on-one fighting.

Battle Arena Toshinden 3

Linear, curated structure

You fight in cramped, cage-like arenas against over thirty distinct characters, each wielding their own weapons and moves. The appeal is fast, fluid real-time weapon duels in a 3D fighter.

Splatterhouse

Easy to pick up

You fight your way as Rick in a hockey mask through gory, grotesque horror levels that swing between splatter and slapstick. The combat is direct and brutal, and the violence is staged with dark humor.

Double Dragon

Linear, curated structure

You brawl head-to-head as Billy, Jimmy, Marian and other Double Dragon characters in a tournament setting. Destructible arenas and a super meter that favours fighters with less health left make it stand out.

Rag Doll Kung Fu

Gameplay comes before story

You fight one-on-one as a string doll, dragging hands, legs and even the head with the mouse. Its physics-driven brawling creates unpredictable and very funny moments.
