Brutal: Paws of Fury Remix  
Back in the 16-bit Sega and Nintendo days, Brutal: Paws of Fury (Henceforth known as just "Brutal") was released to a whole bunch of hype and alot of mixed reviews. Personally, I thought it was an OK game then, but playing it now it seems that I like it alot more. If you were a "gamer" (I hate that term) around that time you probably have already played, or at least heard of Brutal. Well, now some Dr. M dude has made a remake and, dagnabbit!, it's a good'n.
Brutal is a 2d fighting game in the same vein as the popular Street Fighter and Mortal Konbat series, but the gameplay is different enough to warrant it as more than a rip-off. You take control of one of 12 martial-arts learned animals, each with his/her own strenghts and weaknesses and abilities, and attempt to beat the pants (actually, some of 'em don't wera pants but they're animals so it's OK ;) ) off of your opponents on your quest to...I dunno...become the greatest kung-fu-bunny in the world. The gameplay consists of 3 punch buttons (",; and L) and 3 kick buttons (<, >, and /). Very simple and if you've ever played a 2D fightr before you'll figure out most of the secret moves in no time. Collision detection and response time are spot on, unlike alot of other M.U.G.E.N. games where they are problematic and glitchy. Great stuff gameplay-wise.
The graphics are all excellently done and the animation is great and even humurous if you pay attention to the little details. Every thing is colorful and looks like it is straight from the SNES version (hmm...mebbe cuz they -are- straight from the SNES version). The author even added in his own special effects, which are very cool. Try finishing off someone with a special move behinfd the doors on the Dojo level and ye'll see. There are a fair amount of backrounds, too, but some of them (the aforementioned Dojo level specifally) have object in the foreground that can obstruct your view.
The sound is great, especially the announcer who for sooome reason sounds just like the announcer from a different popular fighting game :p. Good music and effects too.
There are some really cool modes in Brutal, such as a 2-player co-op mode and even a 4 player simultaneous battle. These modes and the multiple difficulty levels definitely boost the replay value up a bunch.
Bottom Line: Prolly the best M.U.G.E.N. game ever, and definitely the best one I have ever played. If you enjoy 1-on-1 (or 2-on-2) fighters then you should download this. Yeeehaw!
