Art of Fighting Anthology

"At one point, the Art of Fighting series featured some of the most innovative fighting games around. But they haven't aged well, and this collection merely showcases that fact."

This is a simple, straight-forward collection for a low price. Two of the three titles included are absurdly difficult and they show their age. The third title, while greatly entertaining, still pales in comparison to today’s fighters. However, these points should not discourage you from trying Anthology out. It’s a fantastic experience to visit the veritable roots of the fighting game genre, and Art of Fighting 3 is surprisingly refined for such old software. Art of Fighting enthusiasts should not miss this one, especially if they haven’t been able to play the games elsewhere.

"The Art of Fighting Anthology presents us with direct ports of all three games in the series. However, such accuracy is a double-edged sword; while the anthology has nostalgia aplenty, it doesn’t rectify any of the flaws that plagued the original versions of the games."
