    Love it! Plays exactly how it should play and has obviously been crafted with a lot of love for the originals. Honestly can’t get enough of it... it’s got loads of replayability... I feel like they also got the difficulty just right with a progressive assist system if you’re stuck. Also has 2 great soundtracks (a modern one and retro).

Also has 2 great soundtracks (a modern one and retro). Only things I can nit-pick is that I didn’t always dig the art style on certain levels and some sound effects could have been a little better. Apart from that though this is great value for money for anybody and a must-have if you were a fan of the originals.… Expand

    Jogo extremamente viciante e frenético, combate altamente responsivo, level design muito bem feito, música combinando perfeitamente com o ambiente, um verdadeiro novo clássico desse gênero fantástico.

    It is a good game but it has very few usable characters, not great but entertaining and in my opinion 12 stages are really short stages I have never played other street of rage games but the visuals in this game are so much fun and I enjoy it. enemy types is a good game but there are still things to do and it has something really cool online and arcade mode are really fun i recomend this game

All playable fighters feel overpowered in their own way and every enemy is distinctive with unique attack patterns. Big damage combos are satisfying and not ridiculously difficult to pull off. The thoughtful level design introduces you to new enemies and mechanics in a way that doesn't feel unfair. Boss battles can be tough affairs, but there's always a way to absolutely wreck them. The Mr. X Nightmare DLC is essential if you want to get the most fun out of this experience because survival mode adds a whole new dimension to the game with unlockable moves and other rewards. Really really good 8/10.… Expand

    A beat em up doesn't get better than this. A fantastic evolution of a classic franchise. Everything from the characters, game modes and music is just perfect and everything I've could've wanted from a Streets of Rage sequel.

    The game surpassed my expectations.
    The graphics are perfect, the developers kept the SoR energy, the music is perfect, the game is extremely fun.
    Gameplay is solid, enemies actually have brain and interesting abilities, the new characters are amazing!

    Street of Rage вернулся во всей своей красе! Стоит отдать должное разработчикам - проделана скрупулёзная работа, начиная с арта, приятной общей визуальной картинки, музыкальной составляющей в духе лучших частей серии (ещё бы, привлекли создателя с первых двух частей) и заканчивая бережным сохранением старых механик и грамотным привнесением новых, при этом ничего не сломав по пути.

Видна любовь к наследию: в некоторых моментах просто хочется орать в голосину с отсылок на предыдущие части, ну и очевидный факт того, что добавили всех персонажей с предыдущих частей со всеми механиками. Лучшего продолжения и пожелать сложно. Об оптимизации говорить глупо, всё работает как часы. Ставлю 10 и иду играть дальше!)

    I'm once again the same 7 year old kid who played Streets of Rage 2 and was blown away.
    Thanks Dotemu, Lizzard Cube and Guard Crush for bringing back the charm and joy of Old School to modern Tech. Thanks for bringing back the childhood days of this 35 year old guy.

    I’ve been waiting for this game for years and it was well worth it, still has the feel of the original (which I still play for time to time) but with a fresh flavour. It’s much harder than the original aswell but that’s not spoiling it for me. I love beat em ups and they just updated the best one ever.

    Unbelievably badass game. As of now it's my game of the year. Killer music, killer gameplay, killer graphics/art style, just an absolute blast to play. I like it so damn much I made a metacritic account just to review it. Truly I give a 9/10 but I want to raise its average so I scored it a 10.

    If you like Beat 'Em Ups or heavy action based games this is absolutely essential. I really hope this gets a sequel and that it's financially successful because DotEmu have somehow managed to make a sheer masterpiece in the Streets of Rage franchise two decades later. Unbelievable. What a f**king splendid game man! Unfortunately however it really doesn't look to me like it's getting the recognition and hype it deserves. Don't dismiss this masterpiece, especially if you're a fan of the series. I really wasn't expecting anything from this game but my lord it's absolutely blown me away.

    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.

Nostalgia runs deep here. The presentation is amazing. I love the artwork, the animation and the electronic music. Along with local play, you can partner online. In addition to the campaign, there's a Boss, Arcade and VS. mode. Customization includes several filters, a retro soundtrack and classic controls. If you love Streets of Rage, than you'll love this. A masterpiece. I would rate it with a 9.3 out of 10.… Expand
