However, as it presents itself it soon becomes boring if not tedious. If it had allowed for a more comprehensive list of combos or a more diverse list of play style within the characters from which you can choose from, maybe the game would have been more engaging.
First and foremost Fighting Force 3D lacks diversity. By 1997, a game such as Fighting Force 3D felt a bit too old school and out of context given the amount of more complex gameplay mechanics that were possible. However, they soon were forgotten or replaced by more immersive action adventure titles, though, indeed there were some 3D beat'em ups worth mentioning as well. The age of brawlers/ beat em ups was that of the late 80s and early 90s, with 2D sidescroller titles such as Bad Street Brawler, Altered Beast, Batman Forever, being featured extensively on the NES, Sega consoles and even on home computers.
