MINI-REVIEW (since no one else seems to say
anything nice about this game)
This game is Considered by many to be one of the
worst games ever made for the Genesis. I disagree! One of the more popular
game review websites called this " A Street Fighter II clone without the
good elements." First of all, SFII came out in 1991, the original version
of this was released in 1989 and those of you who say Street Fighter is
an orignal game never played Karate Champ. I realize there are also Amiga
and PC IBM ports of this that came out before this version. I have not
been able to play those as of yet so my review will focus on the Genesis/Megadrive
version. I have screenshots and box scans from all versions however.
Fatman/Slaughter Sport is a very unique and strange
fighter. It contains a cast of characters that would make the Cantina
scene seem normal. The fighters range from a gassy gargoyle named Guano
to a mutant, legless arm wrestler, Stump.
For some it has become an instant classic. True,
it doesn't make for a great 1 player game, but when you've played a round
or 7 of Mondu VS Mondu into the wee hours of the night you will then truly
understand the fun to be had in this game. Load up on Slow and anti-Jump
weapons and crush the fat bastard! Watch out for the bees...they'll sting
your arse.
GRAPHICS: 5 (Mondu looks very nice for a 16-bit
fatty)
SOUND: 6 (Nothing special, the intro voice is
funny, I added an extra point for Guano's fart)
CONTROL: 5 (The controls often work against you.
At least with a 2 player game you both suffer..ENJOY!)
FUN: 10+ (Mondu VS Mondu ...TIP: Freeze Mondu
and lick him like a fat scoop of your favorite ice cream...fun!)
OVERALL: Buy this game if you want something
very funny and unique. The only difference between the Japanese
and English versions is the ability
to select your fighter in a 2 player game without having to input the code
(see below). I had fun playing through and finding the codes on my own.
You can probably find a copy of this cheap on Ebay or your game bargain
bins... Mondu is waiting
