    Delivering humorous fourth-wall-breaking moments, a soundtrack filled with tunes you’ll find yourself humming for days, brilliant level locations, and a surprisingly compelling story, River City Girls Zero takes us back to the good old days of a beat-’em-up rather excellently. [Issue#20, p.88]

    Released at a budget price, River City Girls Zero will undoubtedly find an audience. And retro fans are likely to lap it up, savouring its old-fashioned gameplay. Those who have spent the last few years playing fantastic modern beat ’em ups such as River City Girls and Streets of Rage 4, however, should probably view this as a curio and nothing more. It’s nice that it’s finally available in the west, but its gameplay is definitely showing its age.

    River City Girls Zero is an outdated beat em up with clunky combat, and is hard to recommend to anyone but the biggest fans of the franchise.

The graphics still hold up, with the very iconic vibrant colors of the SFC, now finally localized (and even with two English versions - original translations with swearing, or the new "RCG" translations adapted ot be more matching the girls' personalities developed in RCG1) and released globally !!! Fans of nostalgic beat-'em-up and RCG1 must definitely not miss this game !!!… Expand
