Shadow Force is easily one of the most ambitious brawlers ever made. Not only does it have an unheard-of six-button setup with plenty of techniques, but you can also possess any enemy giving you access to even more attacks. Of course, its replayability is extremely high. The presentation does the gameplay justice.
