I.T. Kid

A muay thai fighter, a story to fight through and a cast of opponents. Muay Thai 2 is FreeOnlineGames' 2008 martial-arts game, and it opens on a character select before sending you out to punch and kick your way up the card. Story mode is the spine of it, with a training option beside it for practice and a store for whatever the fights earn you.

The fights are the stripped-down browser kind: close the distance, throw punches and kicks on the keyboard, and keep your health bar longer than your opponent's. The artwork is the loud, illustrated style the studio used across its line -- a red-haired lead and a roster of rivals in front of painted backdrops -- and the menu wears a decked-out Thai frame. It is the second of the studio's Muay Thai games, and it is a fighting game before it is anything else.
