River City Ransom EX

"...even newbies willing to look past the spare presentation will still yearn for an unlockable bonus or something to pad out this relatively short title, but it's otherwise a good, constant brawl."

"River City Ransom EX is a pretty faithful remake of a fondly remembered NES game, though this works against its success almost as much as it helps its cause."

"For those curious, the story is pretty simple. A student going by the name Slick has organized the gangs of River City High and taken over the school and the surrounding areas. The only one not caught up in this is Alex, recognized as one of the toughest kids from RC High."

"From a punchy, bleeping score to cheesy kung-fu sound effects and esoteric script, the game comes off as a killer blast from the past. If nostalgia -- or just an affinity for bad-ass brawlers -- is your bag, give it a look."
