I kind of like China Warrior...but most people who like the game owned it early on. It most certainly wouldn't impress anyone these days, and that's where the modern reviewers are faltering. I do agree that the game should never have come to the VC...there are hundreds of far better games to choose from...but regardless, CW is fine in its own domain, with all its brokenness. You can count me among the people who can't stand Altered Beast though...man that game is made of pure suck...the gameplay is butt-curdle slow (don't give me that "strategy" bullshit), controls like smelly ass (all versions suck at this, I've played them all), and is about as interesting as a lobotomy on a fundamentalist (no brain = not a very interesting lobotomy). And I do like Keith Courage...hell, right now it's the only domestic huey I have.
It has its own shortcomings but they're not bad. I think Keith was hitting the oolong tea too much already though...whose idea was it to give him such a massive melon? He looks stupid.
By the way SoZ, it's Martial Champion, not Martial Champions. At the arcade, I used to pwn people left and right at it. To this day, I am undefeated in that game.
