It's excellent, non-stop beat-'em-up action all the way. I really enjoyed it when it was first released and it's got me hooked again. Read Review

Great to look at and better to play. Fast, exciting and terribly wince-making at points. Top-notch. Read Review

The greatest beat-'em-up to date? Yep. Graphically yum-yum, deliciously playable, succulently addictive - a game connoisseur's delight. Read Review
Your Sinclair

This is good because it's just so playable. Mind you, it is a little easy to complete, especially when doing it simo two-player style. Read Review

The Game
He's back - meaner, tougher and thirsting for revenge!
Gameplay
This game takes place in the seedy city of Scumville. You have five environments to progress through, each of which is harder than the last. In each scene, you will encounter a different type of villain who will try and subdue you in a variety of lethal fashions. At the end of each level is a doorway leading to the next scene.
By a combination of kicking, punching and using weapons that can be found on the ground, you must fight your way through to the final confrontation with Mr. Big. Weapons can be obtained by subduing an opponent who is carrying a club, or simply by picking up an item from the ground.
Scene 1: Multi-storey Car Park
Here you will meet a gang of motorcyclists who will attempt to either run you over or strike you with their weapons. The mounted cyclists must first be kicked off their bikes, but this will only render them unconscious for a very short time. Beware too, of the members of the gang and their friends who will creep up on you unawares in their attempt to smash you.
Scene 2: Seedy Street At Night
You will be confronted by the "ladies of the night" who will try to beat you in the most unladylike manner. Additionally, the lady's "boss" will be on hand to make sure you are not victorious. Armed with a gun, a limited number of bullets, he will attempt to shoot you and you must take evasive action until his ammo runs out, then you can attack him man-to-man.
Scene 3: The Park
Here, a number of undesirable skinheads will attempt to beat you to a pulp. Pure punching, kicking, etc. is the only way you will be able to progress to the next level.
Scene 4: The Shopping Mall
The Beasty Boys are in town and some of their most ardent fans have congregated in the shopping mall, aware that your progress towards Mr. Big has almost reached its conclusion. Together with their canine friends, they will attempt in a variety of ways to make sure this is your last level.
Scene 5: The Bar
Before you are allowed to confront Mr. Big on his home ground, you must first subdue his vicious bodyguards who will stop at nothing to ensure you do not threaten their leader. (Warning: when you do manage to overcome these thugs, Mr. Big himself is a major force to be reckoned with!)
Two Player Option
This game has a two player option. If this option is selected, it means you can be aided by a companion in your attempts throughout the levels. Each section you go through however will be consequently more difficult, but you will have twice the manpower with which to defend yourself. Learn to co-operate with your partner rather than just trying to overcome opponents separately.
