Our Final Thoughts on Playing Midnight Fight Express
Music-wise, Midnight Fight Express has individual tracks for each of the 40 levels. Despite that, the soundtracks are not that entertaining, considering this came from Noisecream. Perhaps this is because Noisecream’s tracklist for My Friend Pedro was one of that game’s highlights. The levels becoming too easy to complete or looking too familiar makes the game mediocre.
However, there are standout elements including a jet ski chase and train brawl. Overall, Midnight Fight Express has interesting tidbits that make it a compelling beat ’em-up game.
