    Classic. One of the greatest games of the 16-Bit era and perhaps the best scrolling beat em up of all time. SOR2 was technically brilliant with outstanding graphics for it's day and some of the best music of any era. Most importantly though it's still great fun to play after all these years!

    Bloody hard game that punishes all newbies for trying. This game isn't easy, but is also amazing. Combat is strange but plays well. Multiplayer is a brilliant idea, combining Co-op and vs mode to make a full package. Its a good game that when compared to street fighter looks to be the better.

    Streets Of Rage 2 is an undoubted classic. It still plays well today, even though it has obviously been bettered in it's genre. The port is very bare bones, with little to no upscaling or extras. It's a bit of a wasted opportunity in that regard. Nether-the-less, if you harbor a ton nostalgia for this title then it's probably worth the asking price.

    Streets of Rage 2 is a very enjoyable classic, and a nice remastered version on PS3. It is particularly attractive if you play with a friend, but you can enjoy it solo too. The spirit of the 90s is still meaningful when playing a game like Streets of Rage 2.

    For the time it was released it had the best gaming soundtrack ever created.
    All in all, the best side-scrolling brawler to date.
