It would be worth it if there were infinite continues otherwise people, including me, would pay to get two great classic games.Kater101 said:
Street of Rage 2 is a much better option on the Xbox 360, and is only 400 points.
Although, the Magic Sword demo part was pretty damn fun.

If you still have an original Xbox, you'd be better off looking for Capcom Classics Collection Vol. 2. At least then you can get Magic Sword with about 20 other games.
"Old-school difficulty" is not a bad quality. If you think it is, then you've gotten too soft from all your quick-time events and regenerating health. And if you're really too confused by what goes on in Magic Sword... PLAY IT AND LEARN. It's a fantastic game that holds up well even today. I may be somewhat biased because I hold high praise for it, but I'd like to think that my own excitement for it may help others get into it.
Here's a few freebies for the uninitiated:
- Some stages require you to go left and/or right from the start point. Explore thoroughly for some decent power ups or secrets.
- If you have the Diamond Ring in your item box, the Lizardman Warrior will join you as an ally. If not, he'll attack.
- The Thief NPC allows you to spot hidden treasure chests at the cost of him having poor attack damage.
- The game's ending is a moral choice that is left up to you for two different endings.
As for Final Fight, the original one is hard to play after all these years, especially when there's the vastly superior Final Fight 3 on SNES. That one even has a solo 2-player mode with the computer playing along side you.

Streets of Rage 2 doesn't come with a full length episode of the Street Fighter cartoon as an unlockable though.Onyx Oblivion said:
Oddly enough, there were two women enemies in the original concept work. They preemptively changed their description to transvestites because they were afraid Western audiences would object to violence against women. Apparently, this was a useless gesture, because they made them change the skins to make them male in appearance during the port to SNES and GBA. They left them as TVs for Sega, Atari, and Playstation versions, though.coxafloppin said:
OT: I can't wait to play Final Fight again. Don't think I've ever played Magic Sword.
I remember a parody of this on Newgrounds, one of the guys ate a chicken and threw up everywhere. It was funny and I laughed.
