    The game revives the classic beat 'm up genre which makes this game a fun title for lovers of this particular type of game. If you like a your games to kick you in the teeth with a high level of difficulty, you can't go wrong with Raging Justice either. That being said, the game doesn't stand out enough in any particular area to make it an instant classic. Good fun if you like this genre.

    Raging Justice is a good brawler that flies on the wings of nostalgia. It doesn't invent new mechanics for the genre, but it is a solid game. The graphics look very bizarre and maybe pre-renderend 3D models are not the right choice for this kind of game.

    Erring on just the right side of trashy, Raging Justice doesn't break any significant new ground for the side-scrolling brawler but it succeeds as an entertaining effort all the same.

    Those looking for a fresh coat of paint over an old neighborhood will be satisfied. For the rest of us, this justice might be a bit too laboured to be worth the trouble. [July 2018, p.83]

    It’s classic art-style and gameplay are a tribute to a bygone era, but there is no excuse for the lack of content present in a title being ported to current gen consoles in 2018.

    A modest bill beat'em up.

    Raging Justice sticks closely to the formula created years ago, for better or worse. The additions of warrants is an interesting one, with challenges giving a reason to replay levels. The difficulty is set a little too high and the presentation leaves a lot to be desired but fans of the genre will probably get some enjoyment out of it.

    Raging Justice is ridiculous fun which is, at its heart, just an updated version of Streets Of Rage. It’s dumb, entertaining and well made, even if it can be horrifically hard.

    As a fan of beat ’em ups, I did find a bit of enjoyment in the game at a basic level, but there is no reason for me to return to Raging Justice in the future over something like Streets of Rage 2. Raging Justice should provide some adequate indie beat ’em up fun for genre veterans, but it is not very memorable, and its appeal likely won’t ever be any broader than that.

    There’s so much wrong with Raging Justice that it’s easy to forget that it’s not completely unbearable. It’s an average romp through arcade-like levels and while the key gimmick doesn’t hit a home run, it at least is fitting with the theme. That said, this does sadly come off as a cheap imitator that misses the mark more often than not, and as I eluded to earlier, that hurts for me to say.

    What do you get when you put Konami's Vendetta, Midway's Narc and Sega's Streets of Rage 2 in a blender? The answer is Raging Justice, aWhat do you get when you put Konami's Vendetta, Midway's Narc and Sega's Streets of Rage 2 in a blender? The answer is Raging Justice, a throwback beat 'em up that supports up to three players locally. Its tough arcade mode is packed with cartoony violent action and bonus objectives. Before the mayhem begins, you choose from three characters each with their own fighting style. In addition to using punches and kicks, you can pick up an assortment of weapons and use vehicles to mow enemies down. At certain times, you can also arrest bad guys to earn bonus health. Each level has their own mini-challenges. Aside from the arcade mode, there is also a Brawl mode that functions as horde/survival matches. Graphically, the game is impressive, although the art style is a bit ugly. Overall, this really feels like an actual 90's beat 'em up. It may not be very innovative, but fans of the genre should have a good time. I would rate this with a 7 out of 10.… Full Review »

    The graphics look awful, like made out of play doh, or something out of the 90s kids show "Bump in the Night". Nothing looks appealing aboutThe graphics look awful, like made out of play doh, or something out of the 90s kids show "Bump in the Night". Nothing looks appealing about this game. I bought it thinking that you shouldn't judge a game by its cover but the whole game looks as dull and boring as the game cover. The game has arrest missions that you need to carry out but they're so awkward and unfun to perform. You can't simply avoid hitting ONE single enemy while hordes of other enemies that look IDENTICALLY like him are clogging the screen and attacking you constantly, and the only way to get rid of them is to attack them, but then you also attack the one you have to arrest and then he dies and you have to restart the whole level because of it. It's just annoying and the opposite of fun. Also, the UI is very generic, like an all capital letters font with metallic colors. I don't know what they were thinking with this game. I had to really push myself to finish it.… Full Review »
