 Extreme Gamer - Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance Xbox Review
Of course Beat Down leaps past these two in gaming ideas and presentation, but one area where it couldn't make the jump is in gameplay.
Beat Down wouldn't be the same with the violence turned down.
Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance has some great ideas for a fighting game, and hopefully some of Beat Down features will be revamped and used in Capcom games in the feature.

 Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance: Review -- Strategy Informer
Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance is a new game from Capcom that tries to bring the beat-em-up genre into the modern era.
One of the "Beat Down" sequences, which are bloody and entertaining.
The developers of Beat Down show some understanding of what would be needed to bring the beat-em-up genre into the next generation, but unfortunately seem to be unable to execute it completely.

 Love your kids? Prove it by beating them.
If you don't beat your kids when they fall out of line, the next thing you know your son will go off and bang some dude in the ass just out of spite.
By not beating your kids, they get a skewed perspective of reality where they start thinking that they have it rough and that they can get away with dying their hair and listening to Insane Clown Posse.
If you're interested in a permanent solution to your child giving you lip about washing the dishes, cleaning his or her room or filing your tax return, then the Dragon kick might be the technique for you.

 Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance Hands-On - Xbox News at GameSpot
Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance boasts a number of quite innovative features, and we recently had a chance to check them out for ourselves when we got our hands on playable PlayStation 2 and Xbox demo versions of the game.
Beat Down's Gina, for example, is a dead ringer for Tekken favorite Nina, and Beat Down's Lola uses the same button-masher-friendly fighting style as Tekken's Christie.
We were able to converse with every character we met there, and we also had the option to negotiate with each one (which, in Beat Down, invariably means asking him or her to either join your gang or hand over his or her wallet) or start a fight with each one at any time.

 Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance Review / Preview for Xbox (XB)
In an attempt to appeal to todays generation by tossing in unecessary bells and whistles that aren't welcome in the genre, Beat Down comes off as a convoluted mish mash of concepts wrapped in an angry blanket of life-siphoning load times.
Beat Down is one of the more violent offerings I've played in recent memory.

 Photographs from the Golden Age of Jazz: Down Beat Magazine Articles
From 1946 until his retirement from the jazz field in 1948, Gottlieb worked as an assistant editor and a writer-photographer for Down Beat magazine at the New York City branch office.

We advise you to remain consistently absent from this particular beat down...
Playing something like Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance and realizing it's from the house of Capcom is kind of like asking Santa for a horse and instead getting a piece of charred firewood- the impact is so brutal that it could very well shake your faith in the company.
Beat Down doesn't fail in just one area, it seems to be an undergraduate in several categories.

Of course, taking down a kingpin like Zanetti isn't going to be easy, so you'll have to find the right mix of brains and brawn to make it happen.
Based on what we've seen so far, Beat Down is shaping up to be a unique offering from Capcom, which is definitely a change of pace from standard beat-'em-ups.

 Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance (xbx: 2005): Reviews
Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance puts gamers in the role of one of the five fugitives as they seek revenge against their foes.
Beatdown is a solid fighting themed action role-playing game brought down a notch by too much area transition loading and some limited promised features (like the ability to interrogate every character in the game).
Yes, Beat Down revives the warped charisma of Capcom’s beat’em up heyday, but that’s the only area where it actually triumphs.

 Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance (ps2: 2005): Reviews
The only redeeming factor to Beat Down is almost everything is underlined with extra options such as negotiating, robbing, recruiting and so on.
Normally, this flexibility would be welcomed but in Beat Down's case, having these extra options is akin to a Steven Seagal DVD being packaged with two discs of extras.
Beat Down makes us feel bad - we wanted it to be good, Cavia put in the ideas that could have made the game good, but failed to deliver on the execution - the despicable quality of voice acting just seals the deal.

 What is a "down beat"?
In unformal terms the phrase "down beat" refers to the very first beat of the first measure of a song or a musical passage.
In an orchestra if a particular instrument or section has an extended period of rest (where they arent playing) the first beat of the first measure of the next phrase of music where they begin playing again is referred to as the down beat for that passage.
It is the strongest beat of the bar, and thus given the most emphasis by the downward movement in a conducting pattern.

 Armagh beat Down to claim best of the Southerners
With Down making sweeping changes to the personnel, it was asking a bit much for the Down players to get into the pace of game, considering Armagh had already reached a high-tempo standard.
Due to impressive play, Armagh pulled away on the scoreboard and Down concentrated on defending against a rampant Orchard side, although when they went on attack Down looked for goal when points may have helped their case that little better.
Michael Cunningham and Conlith O’Hare put Down back on the scoring front before Niall Trainor blasted the ball to back of the Armagh net with the last kick of the ball to give the final score that bit more of a competitive glisten.

A year after "Join The Fight", BEAT DOWN are back and in your face for the latter half of ´98 with the new full length "Blood & Tears".
Coming more or less from nowhere, Beat Down quickly made a name for themselves with their ep, and with shows here and there, they have certainly started to make waves in the scene.

 OkkaDisk: Joe McPhee & Ken Vandermark: Interview
The city is bustling with new jazz activity, no small part of it directly involving Ken Vandermark, a bright, articulate, unflinchingly committed tenor saxophonist, clarinetist, composer and bandleader whose presence has been a major defibrillator for the city since he set up shop here in 1989.
A few years later I was invited to do this recording with Don Cherry for a week — the whole concept of the way I organize the large ensembles I recorded for hat Hut was based on what I learned from Don Cherry.
He had an accident, fell down some stairs — upshot was that he moved into my house for about eight years.

 People who deserve a beat down
Beat down, verbal abuse, or simply public humiliation is necessary for some of the blatant acts of stupidity one witnesses every day.

Who would've guessed that Down Beat's Jazz Album of the Year award would go to Bill Frisell for Nashville, a brilliant jazz-meets-bluegrass outing the guitarist recorded in the country capitol with a supporting cast composed of roots music's top session men.
Arguably Down Beat's most unlikely album victor in recent years, Nashville challenges the notion that creative improvisational music is restricted to the blues-and-swing zone.
Nashville also beat out a sumptuous feast of dual-leader projects, including Jacky Terrasson and Cassandra Wilson's Rendezvous, Ornette Coleman and Joachim Kuhn's Colors, Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter's 1+1, and Doc Cheatham and Nicholas Payton's self-titled trumpet summit.
