A total mess of an arcade conversion. Poor graphics, awful use of colour and slow, slugish gameplay. Pit-Fighter is a right turkey.

The presentation is really good with a lovely opening sequence and nice music but the gameplay is dreadful. It's so jerky with horribly detailed sprites that's really a slight for sore eyes. It has the nice music playing during the game but it doesn't save the game much.

One point for the intro and one point for the tune. Everything else is bog standard.

Due to the Spectrum limitations this is quite a good conversion. Yes, the movement is jerky, but so is the arcade original. If the objective was to be faithful to it, then they succeeded. But by no means turned it into a pleasant experience.

The blue colour on our fighter is a color clashing torment, which doesn't help either. But there are a few technical features which I find really nice, like the way you interact with the audience and the perspective views. And again, this is accurate to the arcade, but not enough to make it pleasant.

It's not all bad, as a beat 'em up it's entirely playable, but frankly there are dozens of better games.

This conversion was never going to work.

Shit-Fighter. That's all that needs to be said. The original game sucked and this port sucks even more.

A digitalized mess of a beat'em up.
