Back Alley Brawl

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffAugust 20, 2015This bare-knuckle fight game is disappointing in every way. The 3D characters and arenas are bland. The animation and sound didn't impress us. Nor is the choice of fighters very large. The AI-driven characters are easy to beat (we tested the game on the normal level). Even winning is no fun, since the set of available moves is so small. And though controls are essential in a fighting simulation, Back Alley Brawl doesn t allow the player to reassign keys. The only remedy is to use a gamepad. If you don't mind the run-of-the-mill graphics, the game may be worth a try. But to gamers familiar with classic fight games, Back Alley Brawl will be about as much fun as a sock in the nose.
