Art of Fighting Anthology review

Art isn't dead, but in this classic 2D fighting game compilation, it is old and oddly sparse

Art of Fighting 2 is actually a perfectly acceptable fighting game, even though many players hated the quickly depleted power bar, which was designed to limit a player’s use of special moves, but actually limited the fun more. It was while playing this entry that we also decided we liked the odd bonus rounds, like punching a tree or karate-chopping beer bottles. So, yes- it’s good, if not great. It’s also brutally hard, so bring your Nerf controller so you can huck it at the wall when you get punched into a coma for the 20th time.
