Little Fighter 2 is a action and fighting game that mimics the look and feel of the classic Street Fighter game. Street Fighter started as an arcade game before finding its way onto home consoles, and both the original game and its sequels are still popular with players and collectors today. Little Fighter was a basic fighting game that came out in the 1990s, and after fans kept asking the developer for a sequel, he spent a few years working on what would later become Little Fighter 2. Though the developers released a number of updates to the game over the years, you can now download a fully functioning version of the game to your computer.

The game features the same simple backgrounds that you might find on classic computer and arcade games, and those basic backgrounds let you focus on the action of your character. With dozens of potential characters, you're sure to find one that you love. Once the action begins, you can play against as many players as you want. The game lets you battle one on one or against eight different players. You can play against your friends or characters controlled by the computer.

It comes with four different game modes that provide hours of fun and excitement. Championship mode lets you test your skills against other players in various stages and work your way up to win the last stage in the championship. Stage mode will remind you of classic arcade games. You start out on the left side of the screen and work your way to the right as you battle enemies and see the background scrolling behind you. In the versus mode, you have the option of playing against one other person or playing with a partner against two others. The game also features a battle mode that puts you on a team battling against another team.

Each character in the games comes with a series of exclusive moves that none of the other characters have or can use. Though the game doesn't tell you which special moves are available, you can try out each character and see those actions. You can easily control your actions through the use of buttons on your keyboard, and as you try out different combinations, you'll uncover those exclusive and unique moves.

Little Fighter 2 lets you decide against whom you want to play. Some of the computer-generated characters have moves you won't expect and are harder to beat, and most find that the game is more fun when they play their friends. If you're looking for a classic game that mimics the style of Street Fighter and other arcade games, give Little Fighter 2 a try.
