Great classic arcade!
retroplayer
This is a well done port of a great classic arcade game. If you are old enough to remember the original, then this is a no-brainer. If you know nothing about 1980 arcades then do yourself a favor and try it out. You will not be disappointed :-)
Plays just like the arcade

Brings back so many great memories. Have enjoyed this game a lot and have also played it a ton. Controls are a lot like the original game.
A Classis Powerhouse!! A must Buy!!

I saw this app and almost hit the floor. KARATE CHAMP! WOW! In the early 80's I rode my banana seat bike 2 miles to the local mall with a pocket full of a roll of quarters and would spend All DAY playing this baby. This game gave me GREAT joy and many GREAT memories...as many of the arcade greats did! NOW--I am a 5th degree black belt and a proud owner of a martial arts dojo! This translation of this game is well done and the music is HYSTERICAL---I remembered it immedietly. I still remembered many of the moves when I was little. AND if you are a fan of the movie BLOODSPORT---you smiled insanly as Van Damn played the arcade classic you loved as a child This app brings back memories. Hopefully--you are old enough to have played this great game in its arcade form. (if you are 30 something and up--you will remember this one!) Don't listen to the negative feedbacks. Im old enough to remember the growth of videogames to see the very beginnings and watch them grow to what they are today. I have respect for the old greats--OF COURSE its not a PS3--but it was great for it's time. Of course NOTHING is like holding onto the control sticks of the arcade machine--the only drawback is getting used to the controls. For being on the iPad--the controls are very receptive and move smoothly....so it is not too bad. MY ONLY COMPLAINT?......I played it and it was originally voiced in JAPANEESE!! I'd LOVE it to be an update tho. HAJIME--"begin" YAME--"stop" IPPON--"Full point" WAZA ARI--"half point" GET THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE SOUNDTRACK---to make this classic complete. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS A GREAT APP.....and not ruining it--like so many others do!!!!! TAMARA
Almost there

Hey Karate champ is the one of the best fighting games of all time. I remember this game when it first came out and i was one ot if not the best in my neighborhood. This port is pretty good but still needs work. it is missing many things such as the names and high scores. also what is missing is the practice stage at the very begining of the game.the controls are a bit quirky but thats expected it will never be as on point as analog controls.I will give 5 stars when updated.

This game brings back a lot of memories from my childhood...I loved playing this back in the 80's at the arcade, so of course I jumped at the chance to buy this...I am some what disappointed. First, the lack of widescreen makes this an awkward affair to say the least. I have pretty small hands and it still feels cramped! Secondly, you have to go un-defeated to beat the game...Really? This game is difficult enough, let alone having to go un-defeated to beat it. How is this supposed to be fun? Third, and the most egregious, is the horrible control scheme. I know that it's on a touch device but these controls are tepid at best. At least allow the option for button presses to simplify the process on an iDevice (a la Street Fighter IV). Finally, if I am going to have to play with a cramped screen and terrible controls then the least you could do as a developer is implement GameCenter achievements. I know this is a rant but I really loved this game when I was a kid! I suppose I could acclimate to the controls with time but the other stuff I mentioned really needs to be implemented for this to be a four to five star quality app.
What a great classic game!

I use to play this game a lot as a kid and it's still fun to play! Same great sounds and it's just as exciting as usual! If only I could play this game in landscape mode then I'd give it five stars!
Real awesome karate!!!!
