Reviews

Martial arts on a platform, meaning that you can fall off or your opponent can push you off. The animation is not very smooth, it looks like some frames are missing. There are not many moves, and the fight is not very engaging.

2/5

Shanghai - China!
Karate - Japan!

No!

It's errors like this that piss me off even 30 years later or so, a blatant attempt to throw anything together for a few quid, besides the fact it's a crap game as well doesn't help.

I was expecting a lot better from a 1988 game, but I'm getting used to be disappointed.
It's another martial arts beat 'em up. Uninteresting graphics and backgrounds, uninteresting movements, uninteresting gameplay, uninteresting sounds. There's just one word to resume this game: Uninteresting.

Karate in China? Preposterous! And so is this sort of "game". Bland, derivative and boring beat-em-up which isn't even worth its price of £1.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency in 1988). The fighters looks like old age hippies and move as if they were filmed at 16 frames a second like in the first decades of cinematography. The Way Of The Exploding Fist came out 4 years before and is tons better than this trash.
