Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1 [PlayStation 2]

The Fatal Fury series was SNK's first ongoing fighting-game franchise, and many beloved SNK characters and locations made their first appearances in Fatal Fury. Now, gamers can see the series in its beginning stages with Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1 from SNK Playmore for the Sony PS2.

Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Vol. 1 includes four classic Fatal Fury games: Fatal Fury 1, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury 3 and Fatal Fury Special. Fatal Fury 1 was the first fighting game to feature a two-plane system, allowing characters to dodge out of harm's way when confronted with a challenger's attacks.

Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory

The third numbered installment of the Fatal Fury series brings the fight back to South Town, replacing the original two-line system with a new swaying system while revamping the complete character roster.

Fatal Fury 3 retains the format and controls of the previous game in the series, Fatal Fury Special. However, the two-plane battle stages have been revamped into a three-plane format known as the Oversway System. The player fights primarily in the middle plane or the main plane, but can move or "oversway" into either of the sway lines at the background (LP+LK) or foreground (LK+HP).

When the player performs an attack in a sway plane (or an Oversway Attack), their character will return to the main plane. Likewise, the player can attack an opponent who is in a Sway Plane with an Anti-Oversway Attack. The player can also do a "Quick Sway" to avoid an attack, leaving the opponent vulnerable to a regular attack.

Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory is an adaptation of the Neo-Geo fighting game. 2-D scrolling one-on-one fighter with pseudo-3D aspects that allows for players to "escape" holds, throws, and other attacks!
