Released for the PlayStation in 1999, Fighting Force 2 is a beat 'em up developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive. It blends beat 'em up and action elements.

It is part of the Fighting Force series; on the PS1 you can also try Fighting Force. The series also appears on other systems with Fighting Force 2 (Dreamcast) and Fighting Force (N64). Core Design also made Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider II and Tomb Raider III for the PS1.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to fight, blast and test your reflexes
  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want depth and variety over simple, satisfying brawling
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Fighting Force 2 is like

Beat 'em ups send you down scrolling streets fighting waves of thugs with punches, kicks, throws and grabbed weapons. Most can be finished in a single sitting and shine with a second player.

Tip for newcomers: Avoid getting surrounded: keep enemies on one side of you and save your special attacks for crowds. Bring a friend if the game supports co-op.
