I wrote a review for Little Fighter 2 (LF2) three years ago saying its easily the best freeware game in town. Three years later, I stand by those words. The Wong Brothers crafted a masterpiece that's not only perfect, but downright addicting. In honor of this games sheer brilliance, I'm gonna re-review it, but in greater detail..

Presentation:
OK, I always begin by talking about the presentation of a game, because its the first thing that you notice, and some times even decides if you even want to play the game at all. While LF2's presentation isn't the greatest you might have seen in a freeware game, because there's no opening, well, no story for that matter. Despite that, the menu layout is straight forward and easy to navigate. It gives you the impression that you are indeed playing an arcade style game. With that said, the presentation is simple, because that's all it needs to be.

Graphics:
Next up, it's what a lot of people judge a game by, its graphics. Rest assured, this game will not disappoint. The whole game is based on a collection of sprites, but it's the number of sprites, and its detail that make the graphics awesome. There's no fancy 3D special effects here, my friend, just good ol' sprites. Everything you do has its own sprite, from drinking a bottle of moo moo juice (milk) to executing a fire ball attack. I'm talking everything is detailed, to the point where blood is shown on your chin when your life is low (OK, I know that's OUT OF THIS WORLD material, but it was nice for the Wong brothers to do that). But you may ask 'Coci, what if I don't like the sprites?' well my friend, make it yourself. No seriously, make it yourself. The game supports making your own sprites, and encourages you to make your own backgrounds. If you know DCing (Data Changing) and know how to sprite, or at least know people that can do all this, you can make your own characters along with his or her own set of moves.

Sound:
Remember how I said that the graphics are detailed? Well, so is the sound. Every collision type, no matter it be an ice column striking a wooden box , there's a sound for it. There's even sound effects for the characters foot steps for crying out loud. Sadly, there's no music, but that really doesn't matter. Just boot up the trusty iTunes, and sing away, sing away, my friend. Like the graphics, the sounds are customizable too.

Gameplay:
Here's the meat of the game. Where the game shines with the light of ten suns. When you play LF2, you realize something, the battle system is amazingly responsive and intuitive. Wanna shoot a fire ball? Block, Forward, Attack. Wanna summon your ice sword? Block, Down, Attack. It's easy to input your attack combination, because the system is flexible enough to read your commands no matter how slow or fast you input them, just as long as you do them right. This is a game that's easily picked up, hard to master, and even harder to put down. Even after you beat Stage Mode in the Crazy Difficulty (yea, I want to see you TRY to do that..no seriously, go ahead) you can take the game online. It's simple to connect to a friend, just type in their IP (and make sure firewalls are off) while their waiting, and connect. Just don't try to play somebody who say lives, in say, I dunno Mexico, when you live in the US, because you will most likely experience lag. Its easily to get hooked in trying to improve your skill and learning new combos and techniques, that you may find yourself role-playing the master of LF2 with your friends on MSN. Tired of the same old LF2 attacks and such? Well, there's PLENTY of MODs on the internet that you can use to enhance, or completely change your LF2 experience. Once you play this, there's probably no way out. Dozens of characters to choose from, so little time.. in the day time..

What can I say except for 'Perfection'.. woah man, Deja vu..

Little Fighter 2 is definitely one of the best freeware games you can find. It's such an addicting experience that gives beat-em-up fans exactly what they want:Non-stop actiony brawling that leaves you breathless.

GRAPHICS:
The graphics are really good, but nothing to really write home about. But, the anime style really makes this game look beautiful. In fact, I caught myself staring at some of the character designs and backgrounds in awe(while getting my butt handed to me on a silver platter XD).

CONTROLS:
The controls in the game are rock solid. The only way I see someone having a problem with the controls is if they have a weird button mapping. The controls work awesomely is all you really have to say about them.

GAMEPLAY:
It's a beat-em-up with a few twists and turns, not much, really. But, a thing that I found cool is that in the fights, they can have so many opponents and allies in them that you can't even find your character sometimes. It's a bit annoying, but it's SO awesome.

STORY:
Is there even a story in this game? Meh, it doesn't really matter. In my opinion, a beat-em-up doesn't need a story.

COMPLETION:
If you play this game for even 5 minutes, you can tell that it wasn't rushed. Everything is done perfectly. The only huge problem is that if there's a lot of things on screen, it'll lag, but this is common in freeware games, so it's not a huge gripe. The devs really devoted their time into this game.

Overall, LF2 is a great beat-em-up/fighter that it IS the best freeware game on the internet(yes, even better than I Wanna Be The Guy). It's fun, challenging and most definitely a fun game to play with friends. If you're a fan of Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, Final Fight or any beat-em-up, check this game out right away!

Okay, despite that fact that I will always rank LF2 as second-best, it gets the first review from me. Why? Because if Marti and Starski had added a couple more aspects to this gem, it would have been the undisputed best of all freewares. Although the character design is not original (the real credit goes to LF by Marti Wong), their development from cute little kids fighting in their backyard in Little Fighter to full-fledged warriors in LF2 is unbelievably awesome. You will not believe the work that seems to have gone into making this game.

The gameplay is almost incomparable, and involves each character having his strengths and weaknesses, varied jump heights, melee speed, melee power, melee reach, attack pattern and also reach. The AI is probably the most intelligent among freeware games. Non-human characters do not simply hop around and use the same attack pattern over and over again. Instead, they carefully judge your movements and often predict your moves, finishing it off with a swift counter. Another good thing about the AI is that they are unpredictable, so it is not a rare sight to get beaten up black and blue by the same character whom you KO'ed without taking a hit at the same difficulty level.

Otherwise, the presentation is nothing short of fantastic. Every sprite is heavily detailed and every action has a smooth co-ordination with perfect sound effects. However, the catch here is that the game lacks a playlist, the addition of which would have made this the ultimate gaming package. The other drawback is that there is no story at all, so both of these together might render the Stage Mode quite boring after a while..

This game is really different compared to other fighting games out there. If you never liked Street Fighter or KOF, it doesn't mean you'll never like Little Fighter.

The best thing in this game is the gameplay. It's very unique and fun. You can use simple attacks such as punch and kick. You can also use powerful attacks by pressing some buttons in the correct order which is a lil' bit complicated. If there's something like a glass bottle on the floor, take it and use it to smash your oppenents' head in no time! Yes, you can use weapons randomly. Each character has got its own skills and speciality. Some players start with a sword or a bow while some players start with bare hands. If you love magic attacks, you may choose a wizard.

This game is classic. The graphic is so not for the next generation gamers. There's no mods or expansions for this game which makes the game gets more and more boring everyday. Surprisingly, this game has got online play. But sadly the onlie play is pretty dumb and unplayable - you need to know others' IP address.

You may want to try this game. At least it'll make you happy for a week. A very good game for a freeware.

Okay, it's hard to explain how horrible this game is, normally I'd give this 1, but people exaggerating how great this game is makes me want to give this a lower score, I don't have a clue why people think this game is good, but it's not, it's like a bad wrestling game, and I don't like wrestling games, so that's saying a lot.
DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS GAME EVER, the gameplay is boring and the characters are slow and aren't maneuverable at all, the graphics are pathetic and there is no music, and the rest of the sounds are terrible, this game is just amazingly horrible, there are just so many better games you could spend your precious time playing. I hope my review fulfills the role of violating the mouths of all of those reviewers giving this game such a good score with all sorts of things, including extra processed food. This game made me wish that it hadn't exist, when I played it, it made me so sad, it gave me such a dirty feeling, as if I had just been ripped off, even though the game is free. Playing this game was like being violated by a huge pig while getting shot in the leg over and over.
10/10 if you need boredom torture training.

It's rare in the infinite wanderings of internet gaming to find a gem of these proportions. For the first time in a very long running hunt for a perfect game, I feel at last, close to my target. Little Fighter 2 has solid controls like no other, being able to choose between keyboard or stick control, alter your control scheme and immediately get to game play is a great feature. It loads fast, has good sounds and very likeable graphics. The only thing lacking here (and I use the word lacking in only the most respectful way) is MUSIC. A game like this should have a kickin' sound track of rock to while your kickin' the bandits and archers around. Other then that tiny little thing, I can find nothing else about Little Fighter I dislike. Variable difficulty levels, several characters and special moves to choose from and five, four-stage levels to play through make this a challenge but not a frustrating one. PLAY this game. Any fan of fighters should heed this advice without pause or question. YOU PLAY NOW! I shall say no more.

SEGofthecosmos

Ahem. All hail Little Fighter 2. It is, quite frankly the best brawler in its class that has ever been my priviledge to play. The characters are wide, and each has a specific fighting style, so it is possible to get really good with any character. Some of the special moves, however, do get a bit repetitive. For example, more than half of the characters have a projectile energy ball attack, and the only difference seems to be the color or shape. But hey, personally, I never get tired of shooting energy balls at people. I mean, honestly, who does?

Weapons drop from the sky, and milk and beer restore health and magic points respectively (well, actually milk restores some MP too, but beer does it a lot faster.. I wonder why..? ;-)).

Multiplayer is a brilliant edition, and all of these factors combined lead me to give this game a rating of 99.3%, DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!! (or you'll be sorry, I promise) Take my advice.

Little Fighter 2 (LF2; Chinese: 小朋友齊打交2) is a Hong Kong freewarePCfighting game for Windows and is the sequel to the game Little Fighter. Little Fighter 2 was created by Marti Wong and Starsky Wong in 1999, and received a long series of updates.

The game supports up to 4 human players on one computer and a total of 8 characters using online play or computer-controlled opponents. Characters are controlled using the keyboard or a gamepad. All keys can be custom set via a configuration menu.

Little Fighter Online

The game has a commercially released sequel, Little Fighter Online. In 2008, in celebration of Little Fighter 2's tenth anniversary, version 2.0 was released. The update fixed minor bugs and added a gameplay recording feature, a new stage called 'Survival', a browser toolbar that is not mentioned in the installation process and obstructive ads being displayed while the game is being loaded. Version 2.0a was released in late 2009, with only a bug fix.

Characters[edit]

There are a total of 24 playable characters, 11 of whom are initially playable:

• Template: A weak and featureless character, originally used as a base for all others.
• Deep: A yellow swordsman. A beginner-friendly character, his melee attacks are quick & powerful, but he lacks range & mobility.
• John: A defensive magician. He conjures magical spells to heal and keep enemies at bay, but has extremely poor damage against large groups of enemies.
• Henry: A musical archer. Besides shooting arrows, he can play the flute to manipulate gravity. He is quick & simple to use against large groups, but vulnerable in close combat.
• Rudolf: A navy-blue ninja. He throws ninja stars and uses gimmicks like invisibility, duplication or transformation. Like the archer, he is incredibly fast, but vulnerable in melee combat.
• Louis: An armored grappler. A slow and awkward character, notable for his ability to burst out of his armor and thus transform into LouisEX when he is near death.
• Firen: A fire mage. He can easily keep a group of enemies at bay with his fire spells, but he is heavily reliant on mana and difficult to use skillfully for combos.
• Freeze: An ice mage. A single touch of his claws or ice sword will freeze foes and energy balls alike. An excellent character for both beginners & advanced players.
• Dennis: A lean fighter. He can pressure his foes with homing energy balls or a flurry of powerful kicks. Reliant on combos to deal heavy damage.
• Woody: A veteran who excels in duels and dances around the battlefield. The reward for mastering his slow combo startup is unmatched versatility & style.
• Davis: The main protagonist. He excels at boxing and shooting rapidfire energy blasts. Few can withstand the might of his dragon punch, but he tends to over-commit to his attacks.

By typing a secret code which can be revealed by beating the 'Stage Mode' on 'Difficult' difficulty, the remaining 13 characters are unlocked, 4 of whom are the boss characters:

• Bat: Appearing in stage 5-2, this boss will harass players by constantly unleashing a swarm of homing bats and firing lasers from his eyes.
• LouisEX: First appearing in stage 3-5, this spear-wielding boss is renowned for his amazing physical stats and ability to fire a shockwave from his palm multiple times in a row.
• Firzen: First appearing in stage 4-5, this master of fire & ice will cover the arena in an elemental shower. He is notorious for being able to kill a player in a single explosion or volley of meteors.
• Julian: The final boss appearing in stage 5-5, this evil spirit is a masked giant who resists damage and overwhelms his opponents with multiple homing skulls and massive energy projectiles.

The remaining 9 characters are the common minions who are fought throughout the stage:

• Bandit: The weakest but most common enemy. He has no special abilities.
• Hunter: An equally common and cowardly enemy who can stun the player with either a strike or a shot from his bow.
• Mark: A bodybuilder whose melee attacks do a massive amount of damage. He can ram the player with a powerful shoulder charge.
• Jack: A versatile fighter who uses both his Energy Blast and Flash Kick, allowing him to fight in both close and long range. Coincidentally, he resembles a protagonist of the 1997 movie 'Titanic' (also named 'jack'; played by Leonardo DiCaprio), though Jack first appeared in one of the creator's older games(Davis Adventure).
• Sorcerer: A hooded magician who can shoot fire or ice balls, as well as heal himself or other enemies.
• Monk: A Shaolin monk who can push his enemies back with a shockwave palm. He only appears in Stage 5 once and Survival as an enemy, but is otherwise commonly seen as an ally.
• Jan: The only female character, she is a support magician who can conjure devils to strike each enemy from above or summon angels to heal all her allies at once.
• Knight: A giant armored warrior. His thick armor & reflective shield force players to nullify his defenses with a dash attack before hurting him, lest they get cut down by a blow of his sword.
• Justin: A masked minion who resembles Julian. He uses a fast but short-range energy blast and a special melee punch.

Third party characters are also available for download.

Gameplay[edit]

Little Fighter 2 is a fighting game. Each player chooses a character that comes with unique abilities. Attacking another character causes the attacked player to lose HP (health points), represented by a red bar on the heads-up display. Each character also has special attacks that can be activated by pressing a certain combination of keys. Most of these special attacks use up MP (mana points), represented by a blue bar on the heads-up display.

Occasionally, items may fall from above into the screen to assist players. Items range from a bottle of beer/milk, restores mana/health to a variety of weapons that can be used in combat. These include knives, baseballs, boulders, boxes, and baseball bats. All weapons take damage in combat and will eventually break.

Game modes[edit]

1. VS Mode allows human and computer players to fight each other in a setting of the player's choice.
2. Stage Mode, like in many classic beat-'em-up action games, allows the players to fight their way through five stages, with bosses here and there. You can choose a stage and difficulty at startup.
3. Championship Mode sets up a tournament bracket to determine a winner. You can choose to fight individually, or with a human or computer partner.
4. Battle Mode is a team-based mode involving two sides commanding mass customisable armies of computer players.
5. Demo Mode creates random teams of computer-controlled 10 heroes, creating a zero-player game and allowing the player to be in observer mode

Difficulty can be set to Easy, Normal, Difficult or CRAZY! for all modes except demo. The code can be used in VS and Stage Mode. There is also a small online game feature which enables you to connect and experience any of the modes listed above with another person.

Version 2.0 added Playback Recording, a new mode that allows for playback of recorded gameplay. It also added Survival Stage, a new independent stage in Stage Mode, in which players fight their way through as many waves of opponents as they can before they die.
