Karate may be old news to the box office, but with all the
new games coming on to the computer market one has to be
the winner - The Way of the Exploding Fist.
The scenario, two men locked in combat presided over by a
Buddha and a monk, is simple, but it demands great skill and
concentration to reach the goal of 10th Dan by fighting and
defeating your opponents.
One or two player modes are available, each with a very
different challenge to offer. In a one player game it is best to
defeat the computer with the utmost speed and precision
within the time of 30 seconds. For each two fights won you progress one Dan.
The keys are well placed at different ends of the keyboard
and combinations of keyboard and joystick are available,
though there are 18 moves and 10 keys to cope with.
The variety of moves seem endless, with kicks, jabs, blocks,
punches and somersaults. This game is definitely the best of the
karate simulations.
The backdrop on the proceedings gives one a feeling that the
programmer put as much effort into it as with the detail on the
two characters.
I was so enthralled by the game that I couldn't bare to
switch off and leave it to the next day - the graphics, music and
character animation are excellent.
It is so visually absorbing that I feel that it is almost beyond
criticism, but for the fact that it has no shadows on the B Plus or
Electron.
