Rival Turf follows the story of two brothers, Rick and Harry, as they face off against a ruthless gang led by Big Al who have invaded their turf. The Brawl Brothers must take back their streets and send their rivals home with their tails between their legs.
The gameplay in Rival Turf is fast-paced and action-packed, allowing players to choose between fighting alone or teaming up with a friend for simultaneous two-player action. With six stages of hand-to-hand fighting, players must master various realistic street-fighting techniques such as body slams, leg sweeps, jabs, hooks, and uppercuts to emerge victorious. The game also features the option for players to turn on their friends and engage in head-to-head combat for bragging rights and control of the streets.
