Gekido - Urban Fighters [NTSC-U] PlayStation ROMS Small Size PBP Psx

In the time of New Tokyo, a time in which corruption and criminal behavior is at an all time high, a girl named Angela has been kidnapped. Her parents have hired a detective named Travis to investigate a gang run by the notorious crime boss Kintaro; some say the gang is involved with the darker side of life, namely Hell. Knowing how difficult the mission is, the detective will need all the assistance he can get.

Joining Travis on his brutal and bloody quest is an old friend named Michelle, a martial arts mentor known as Ushi and his student, Tetsuo. You and up to three friends will control these characters (simultaneously) through Gekido: Urban Fighters -- a side scrolling 3D beat 'em up in the vein of Final Fight and Streets of Rage. Like the aforementioned games, each fighter handles differently; whereas Travis is the well-balanced brawler, Michelle excels in speed but lacks in power. In addition to the four selectable characters, there are two hidden fighters to unlock with extended gameplay.

Gekido features a few gameplay options including the Urban Fighters, Arena Battle, Shadow Fighter, Street Gang Battle, Team Battle and Survival modes. The Urban Fighters option has you (and other friends) selecting one of the four characters and engaging in an all-out war that will come to a close once you've found Angela and destroyed Kintaro. Arena Battle is a tournament based multi-player mode against up to three human players. The idea is to smash your opponents into a bloody pulp using your fists and various weapons. Other gameplay modes such as Shadow Fighter, Street Gang Battle, Team Battle and Survivor must be unlocked -- can you do good enough to earn these extra goodies?

Regardless of the gameplay option you've chosen, you'll find a plethora of weapons laying around including machine and hand guns, rifles, flamethrowers, hand grenades, dynamite sticks, knives and lead pipes. You'll use these on a wide variety of enemies ranging from normal street thugs and a giant ape-man to a vicious demon hell-bent on your destruction. Additionally, each character in Gekido: Urban Fighters has his and her own combinations and special rage attacks.
