    I like Streets of Rage and Ikaruga, but The Red Star only offers glimpses of gameplay that feel like those awesome titles. The boss fights are fun and I enjoyed upgrading my weapons and abilities with the points I earned, but there’s no story here, the game isn’t all that challenging, and it’s pretty mundane looking.

    As a $15 game, though, The Red Star is a great deal, considering it was at one point set to release as a full-priced game. For old-school action game fans, this one's a must-download.

    It's a blast to play, and probably the most fun we've had with video game Russians, outside of performing spinning piledrivers with Zangief.
