About
Burning Fight is the quintessential Final Fight rip-off. Even its title and logo are obvious plagiarisms. It mixes up the formula with a kick button, optional bonus stages, and not much else.

Burning Fight is shameless in its plagiarism of Final Fight, right down to the very title. Every aspect of it is inferior, from the dissatisfying combat to the uninspired enemies to the forgettable music. Most gangs of enemies are disappointingly small and later bosses are harsh quarter-munchers.
