Action / Fighting game

Fighting Run is an action game by Nihon Bussan that features an unusal mix of racing and fighting. The player takes control of a humanoid biped robot engaged in a series of deadly races against other opponents. But these races have a twist - each racer can attack the opposing player in order to win the race and score points. In single-player mode, the player first needs to choose a track and an opponent. Then points need to be allocated to increase various abilities, from Speed, Power to Armor. Then the race is ready to go - each racer can freely move around the track, hit each other or use special attacks collected along the way (such as lightning bolts, grenades and so forth). Each robot also comes with a life bar and the race is over as soon as it reaches zero. Additionally, Fighting Run features a versus-mode where two players, or two AI controlled opponents, can race against each other, as well as a tournament-mode where eight robots and their pilots race (two at the time) for a golden trophy.

Fighting Run is a really sad game... well, the concept is actually original for the most part and it couldn't have been a fun ride. But the gameplay is incredibly poor and badly executed, controls are totally random and hitting your opponent is more a game of luck than skills. Then the tracks are rather dull and bland, and not much is going on. I never gave the two-player mode a chance and, well, maybe this is where the game truly shines - but I highly doubt that. Fighting Run is limited to about five minutes of play time, and this is roughly how long it will take you to experiment with the game before switching off the console. Nihon Bussan should have called it 'Yawning Run'.
