A number of comments from viewers of my recent Mug Smashers pointed out it was a rip-off of Combatribes, so I thought it only fitting that I played through the game on which it's based.

Initial impressions of The Combatribes are good. The game looks great and the brawling is great fun, and I particularly liked the ability to smash your enemy's heads together, or grind their faces into the sidewalk.

Later on, however, the game ratchets up the difficulty to force you to insert more coins. The final boss was definitely the worst part of the game, often entering a state where she becomes seemingly invulnerable until she has initiated an attack.

Other than that, this is a fun game, and definitely an improvement over Double Dragon 3.
