Game Ratings for Fighting Force Video Game.
Gert Lush Gaming: 7.4 / 10 by Jim Smale
Fighting Force Collection is a good little set that brings two influential 3D brawlers back into the spotlight. Despite story issues, awkward mechanics in the second game, and some dated design choices, the core fighting still feels great. Smashing up furniture, blowing up vehicles, pulling off combos, and battling through waves of enemies remains fun, and the collection does a solid job preserving what made these games stand out. It is a nostalgic, chaotic, and enjoyable return to a pair of games that helped shape the 3D beat ’em up genre.

Fighting Force Collection introduces the beat ’em up cult classic to a new generation while letting old-school gamers reconnect with their youth.
ZTGD: 6 / 10 by Ken McKown
In the end the Fighting Force Collection is more of a curiosity than a compilation of classics. Some people have nostalgia for the first game, it was decent. The second game, however, should have remained forgotten. Core Design started strong and ended with a whimper and I would rather remember them for titles like Tomb Raider and Soulstar, and not the travesty that is Fighting Force 2.
