Beat Down: Fist of Vengeance is an action fighting game developed by Cavia Inc and published by Capcom. It was launched in 2005 for the Microsoft made Xbox gaming console
and for the Sony created PlayStation 2 gaming console.
The player starts out in the game in an abandoned warehouse, somewhere in the dark and made up city of Las Sombras, south of the Mexican border. The initial aim of the game is to take care of all the conditions needed for a drug deal to go through, but all the plans go up in smoke as your own drug cartel buddies bust in and try to murder you in cold blood.
As with all double cross stories, the aim of the game is to get even with your old pals and kill them for what they tried to do to you. Beat Down: Fist of Vengeance plays like a role playing game with elements of a beat them up mixed in and with some shooter traits.
There are five characters in the game, called Raven, Jason G, Gina , Lola and Aaron. You get to pick one of them as the main character and you also get to pick two other characters that fight next to you as allies. As you walk around the town, you get to meet other former gang members and fight them. Some of them will even join you after you defeat them. As you fight tougher and tougher enemies, you get skills points that you can use to upgrade attack, stamina and fighting technique.
