I don't know why this exists but I'm glad it does. From the moment you hear the Trinity theme, it takes you back in time. The special attention to the combat style and buddy actions really make it feel like the source material. Terence and Bud feel very different and that's great.

My only criticism is that the controls could be simpler. They're more sophisticated than old beat 'em ups actually were, probably in an effort to add depth and complexity, but this isn't always a good thing.
