The American-developed Final Fight: Streetwise will attempt to buck the decent 3D beat-'em-up trend with its arrival on the PS2 and Xbox next month.

Metro City is a bit more free-roaming in the updated brawler's main mode, where you can actually earn the respect of its NPC inhabitants instead of throttling them. Of course, the more linear arcade mode is what we're looking forward to, with its co-op gameplay and hoped-for option of playing as Guy or our favorite one-suspender-strapped mayor.
