The Fighting Force Collection brings together the iconic 3D beat 'em up titles developed by Core Design.

This collection includes the original Fighting Force and its sequel, Fighting Force 2.
In the first Fighting Force, players choose from four unique characters—Hawk Manson, Ben Jackson, Mace Talorman, and Alana McKendricks—to thwart the plans of the mad scientist Dr. Dex Zeng. The game features local co-op and a variety of weapons ranging from car tires to pistols. Fighting Force 2 shifts the focus to Hawk Manson on a solo mission involving corporate espionage and cyborg enhancements, blending traditional brawling with exploration and stealth elements.

User Reviews
- Fighting Force is pure nostalgia. Breaking windows and hitting enemies with car doors never gets old. This collection runs great on modern PCs.
- The first game is a masterpiece of the 3D brawler genre. The sequel is quite different but still offers a great challenge for fans of Hawk Manson.
- A must-have for fans of retro fighting games. It brings back so many memories of the PlayStation era. The gameplay is still solid after all these years.
- Great to have both games in one place. The destructible environments were ahead of their time. Five stars for the fun factor!
- An excellent trip down memory lane. If you like Streets of Rage or Final Fight, you need to play Fighting Force. Highly recommended for co-op play!
