It's your job to stop Dr. Zenga, who wants to take control of the city. Before you set off, you will have to choose one of four heroes. Each character has its own advantages and disadvantages (eg a character with a greater strength is slow). In addition, each warrior has one powerful special blow, which - unfortunately - exhausts their health. McNamara, Andy; Fitzloff, Jay; Anderson, Paul (February 2000). "Fighting Force 2 (PS)".

There was a bizarre prejudice against 2D fighting games in the press at the time of release, with a common complaint being that they looked and felt dated – this wasn’t relegated to fighting games exclusively, but rather 2D games in general – so user scores tend to reflect the more commonly held contemporary views of all types of fighter.

Fighting Force, from the same developers that brought us Tomb Raider, looked very promising from the early reports. It looked like it was going to be the ultimate beat-'em-up game, redefining the genre for the 32-bit and up systems. Unfortunately, the game starts strong, but becomes an exercise in futility on or around the second level. A second sequel, Fighting Force 3 was also in development for the GameCube, Xbox and PlayStation 2, but was canceled during development, though a video tech demo of it exists on the internet. Evil Laugh: Zeng has this, especially when he's getting the upper hand in the final level/boss battle with him.
