Someone already mentioned Splinter Cell's light and sound meters so I'll say Def Jam: Fight for NY. You can't just do a million light punches and win by whittling their health down. Death by a thousand cuts doesn't work in Def Jam, you have to actually knock your opponent out. Get their consciousness down (where their health bar turns red) then finish them off with a weapon, environmental move, co op move, or the knockout move unique to your fighting style. A strong punch can knock an opponent out but only if your character knows streetfighting, otherwise it's just another attack.
