Thanks. You never know how different people will read what you write, but that was the reading I was hoping for.

Somehow, I understood what Crawl meant. You really have to take that sentence in the context of the rest of the paragraph where those two games were mentioned by name. Even so, if you're not exactly sure which game he's referring to as being which, the rest of the review provides context enough to know that the part about revolutionizing martial arts games is certainly not about Final Fight 2.

Good review IMO. Mindless fun definitely describes Final Fight games, especially with a turbo controller. And I've always hated Elick.

I'm not even sure how clear I want to be, though. The end of the second paragraph seems to settle the matter. (So long as it's clear that the end of the first paragraph is referring to two separate games).

I don't think I'm gonna have it be:

At the same time Capcom was revolutionizing videogame martial arts with a wider range of offensive options, more complicated artificial intelligence, and even an innovative style of interacting with...

Maybe it would be clearer if you mentioned both games by name.

Erm, maybe that sentence isn't clear, but the part that talks about how Capcom was "revolutionizing videogame martial arts" referred to Street Fighter 2, while the part that said they "remained capable of presenting simulated brawling with soporific simplicity" refers to Final Fight 2.

first you say how sophisticated capcom was then you say "they also demonstrated they remained capable of presenting simulated brawling with soporific simplicity." i vaguely remember more than a few games which advertised about how cutting edge they were going to be, but end up being lame duck.

that long line sounds like satire.

What does it seem like I'm satirizing?

oh wel, i've only seen people playing final fight 3 or something a few times, so i'm not really sure how silly they(final fights) get. i mean, you wouldn't know if i'm being anywhere near serious if i tried to describe pootie tang the movie.

At the same time Capcom was revolutionizing videogame martial arts with a wider range of offensive options, more complicated artificial intelligence, and even an innovative style of interacting with the controller, they also demonstrated they remained capable of presenting simulated brawling with soporific simplicity.

that long line sounds like satire.

In what way? He doesn't say anything about the game that isn't true. Maybe it just seems that way because it's unfinished, but he specifically said it's unfinished.

sounds like a joke review.

It just occurred to me, looking at FO's Year in Review, that if I could finish this before Tuesday, I'll have written more reviews in 2007 then she has. Will I accomplish that feat? Probably not, but it's good to have goals!

Historically, the most notable thing about Final Fight 2 is that it was released simultaneously with Street Fighter 2 Turbo. At the same time Capcom was revolutionizing videogame martial...
