Retrospective comments
If you haven't yet played Streets of Rage II then you are in for a treat. Simply put this is probably the best scrolling beat-em-up available on any console. Yes it is that good! |
Have your say about Streets of Rage 2

Bare Knuckle 2 Rules the Street.
Blaze Fielding is my favourite character to use.

Yes after years i realized Axel was shouting "Bare Knuckle!" when launching his uppercut but i would have much preferred him to shout "Streets of Rage 2!" as i like to, when out punching prostitutes and street punks.

This game was my favourite of all three Streets of Rage games and I keep hoping to see a truly worthy remake come out for the current generation of systems. So far Saint's Row 2 seems to be a good remake, in a sense with the flowing combat system in it though minus the special moves and attacks of the SOR games.
It would be great if one day a really, really good developer can bring back the SOR series and do it right.

This game was, and still is, the dogs bollocks, even though its over 10 years old.
Few other side scrolly fighting games before or since have surpassed this, it had spot on graphics, ridiculously addictive gameplay, and sported one of the mega drives best sound tracks.
All of the characters were easy to use, but tricky to master, thus quadrulping its replay value.
Hell, i still dust off my old MD and slap this piece of classic gaming gold into the slot and fiddle with it a bit, then once ive finished doing that i play the game.
