Best 3D beat em up out there. Very possible to 1cc with practice, which I currently am working on. It seriously is impressive how elegantly this game plays for its time, and to see how much this game influenced Yakuza. It's shockingly deep and technical, and not a button masher like everyone seems to think judging from all the other reviews. (Beat em ups are always so misunderstood.) It also has several branching paths, hugely adding to the replay value.
The biggest take away that you can probably get from Spike Out is that it feels like Proto-Yakuza combat, and probably helped shape Yakuza / Like A Dragon series combat system. Aside from that though? You're really not going to get much out of this 3D arcade brawler aside from some wonky polygons, a bunch of munched quarters, and a mildly too long arcade run.
If you're a fan of beat'em ups, I think you will have a good time with Spike Out as it is an absolute delight to see in Infinite Wealth, but paying money for the actual game nowadays would probably be more painful both due to how it looks and how unfair it can be. Good for a run, but really not much more than that.
