    Es casi imposible hacer un juego que, innovando lo justo para contentar tanto a viejos como a nuevos jugadores, salga tan redondo. Sus carismáticos personajes, su aspecto sacado de un cómic underground, su estilo machabotones con cabeza para recuperar la vida que se pierde ejecutando movimientos especiales, su estupenda banda sonora, ... Todo lleno de guiños constantes en su historia, entornos y enemigos hacia la trilogía original. Se ve genial, suena genial, y se juega genial.

    No se me ocurre ningún apartado de esta cuarta parte que no esté a la altura de tan esperado regreso, tanto si juegas solo o acompañado de amistades.

    Bueno, quizá que tenga contenido descargable de pago con ideas interesantes que hacen el producto original se quede corto y escaso. Y por seguir estirando para buscar alguna pega más, personajes míticos de las primeras entregas como Roo o Eddie Hunter no han regresado, al menos de manera jugable.    … Expand

    I was actually skeptical when i saw the first pictures and i was so damn wrong, this game is just amazing. Sure it has all the flaws inherent to this type of game, but for a sequel to streets of rage it's just amazing... The graphics, animation, musics are perfect, i want to give it a 10 honestly but i'm trying to restrain my nostalgia.

    Un épisode qui rend merveilleusement hommage aux opus Megadrive !
    De prime abord, les nouveautés peuvent perturber. Mes premiers essais furent commentés de "mais pourquoi jme fais interrupt ?" "purée, ils ont changé les priorités" "purée, ils ont changés certains timings". Mais en fait, avec le recul, c'est adapté au gameplay moderne, et de fait est une vraie réussite.

"purée, ils ont changé les priorités" "purée, ils ont changés certains timings". Mais en fait, avec le recul, c'est adapté au gameplay moderne, et de fait est une vraie réussite.
    La bande son est fantastique également. Les nouveaux morceaux, recomposés pour l'occasion, sont dans l'ensemble, extrêmement réussis et collent parfaitement à l'univers du niveau (mention spéciale pour les fondus, où la nouvelle musique démarre en même temps que l'écran suivant et nous met dans l'ambiance.
    Les nouveautés dans le gameplay sont les bienvenues. Elles ajoutent de la profondeur au gameplay, sans rendre le jeu saturé de contrôles, et donc injouable. Parmi ces ajouts, on notera le coup spécial (défensif ou offensif) qui n'est plus basé sur les anciennes règles (pertes de HP si on touche un ennemi en mode defensif, jauge de spécial basé sur un timer) mais sur un ingénieux système de pool de HP mis en jeu : on "parie" sur le fait de pouvoir frapper des ennemis plusieurs fois sans se faire frapper. Une palette de coups aériens fait aussi son apparition.
    La direction artistique est au top, avec ces dessins faits main (jetez un oeil à la rubrique "extra). Ca plaira ou pas, pour ma part je préfère un jeu en 2D bien fait qu'une mauvaise 3D (on aurait perdu l'ADN de la licence).
    En bref, une belle réussite, une rejouabilité totalement au RDV, et un prix doux, faisant de cet opus un incontournable pour les fans !    … Expand

    Outstanding game! This is how you bring back a series that's been dormant for decades! Although, not perfect, this game does so much right with amazing visuals, great audio, killer soundtrack and addictive gameplay! Tons of replayability and the added features of online co-op. Also added modes like arcade, boss rush and battle mode.

    Beautiful game with pleasant style, dynamic battles and good (but not outstanding) music.
    Passed with wife at a normal level of complexity and were difficult in the battle with some bosses.
    I was glad to see that the girls in the game look like normal girls among the main characters.

    That being said, some things went wrong.
    -Primarily the invincibility frames on enemies. While I get giving it to bosses or bruiser characters on wakeup, this game goes way overboard with it. The original SOR2 cranked up the difficulty by making enemies faster and more numerous.
    -The combo mechanic, while a good idea in theory, disadvantages slower characters. The timer runs out way too quickly.
    -Enemy variety is extremely limited
    -The game is too long for a single comfortable playthrough really (clocking in at 2 hours vs 1 hour for the originals). A shorter length but branching paths would have been a better variant.
    -Art style is questionable. SOR always had a more realistic and less cartoony approach.
    -Hit impact sounds feel tame compared to SOR2

    This game could have really been great with a few minor adjustments. There's a lot to love here, and i'm interested to see where they will take the franchise next. Some more DLC characters or levels could be fun. Or a level editor.    … Expand

It mixes traditional beat em up mechanics and modernizes them just that doesn't stray too far from its roots. You pick from 1-4 characters.

Original mainstays Axel and Blaze from SOR 1, 2 and 3 return with the newcomers being Lyod and Cherry. My personal favorite would have to be Cherry, she is the only character who has the unique ability to sprint, she also has some great move sets that lets her juggle multiple enemies in the air at once and launches them back down with a dive attack. Lyod is my second favorite, definitely the tank of the cast, he may move slowly, but makes up for it with his ranged attacks that allow him to grab enemies from a distance to either throw them back at other incoming bad guys, shock them or grab two targets at once and slam them together. There are roughly 16 stages to run through. It will probably take you no more than 3 hours to play it through it entirely, but not including extras from unlocking other characters like Adam from SOR1, the Original SOR Character Sprites, Versus mode and other difficulties to give you a better challenge.

    Its Classic Beat em up goodness that any fan of the Gerne should not miss!    … Expand

    I will not list all things I love in SoR4 just because it became one of my very favourite games ever. The experience is unforgettable.

    Though I want to notice some disadvantages that stolen 1 point of my score:
    -we all know this beat-em-up genre doesn't need deep story but at least there could be longer and more interesting story scenes. Some characters really need better introduction (e.g. Ys and Max).
    -antagonists give no any impression of true villains (as it was with Mr.X) but couple of harmful kids.
    -guys what have you done with Axel? he definately did not deserve to be the weakest character in game. Never was his fan but I feel bad for poor guy haha
    -multiplayer is kinda unbalanced. e.g. duo mania feels much harder than solo cause of lack of healing items and points to get extra life.
    -last and the most important: developers should have paid more attention to bossfights (maybe it was really difficult to implement). don't know why but sometimes bunch of normal enemies feels more interesting (hi again, Max).

    An amazing return to form for the classic series. Not only a sequel faithful to the tone and feel of the original, but a fantastic game on its own strengths, one I would recommend just as strongly if it were a new IP. Also has one of the most infectious soundtracks in recent memory; I'm hoping they make it purchasable through Steam soon.

    4 player local is a bit too much, but the 2 payer multiplayer is fun and is really where the replayability lies for me; after you've beaten the story and arcade modes and have tested out all of the characters of course.

Some people thought the graphics were a little cheap, but I liked it, which is one of the reasons I bought it.

    It’s no secret that beat ’em ups are better in co-op, but it’s especially evident with SoR4. If you’re playing on your own, prepare to get juggled to death, but if you bring a friend or two – you’ll be the one having a party. [Issue#246, p.54]

    Simply put, this is the return that fans have been waiting for. Streets of Rage 4 delivers in so many ways that the $24.99 price point seems more than reasonable with all the included content, even with the short story mode. It may prove to be overwhelming for those unfamiliar with what it brings to the table, but you can’t deny how much love was put on the screen for beat-’em-ups and this franchise in general. If you can take the heat, you should absolutely jump in and send a signal that this is a game worth playing.
