    Streets of Rage 2 stands as one of the most well-crafted beat-'em-ups ever, and it still looks and sounds great and plays beautifully.

    Beating up bad guys was never so fun and especially with a co-op buddy it’s a blast. Improving your Gamerscore shouldn’t be a problem either as over 75 percent can be achieved quite easily.

    Top notch side-scrolling brawler from 1993, and, in many respects almost as much fun now as it was then.

    Disappointed with "Double Dragon"? Want a good 2D brawler? Here's five bucks well spent. [Dec 2007, p.78]

    Great game from the past finaly on Xbox 360 (and Playstation 3). This game gave Megadrive/Genesis owners a big smile on their face. This wasGreat game from the past finaly on Xbox 360 (and Playstation 3). This game gave Megadrive/Genesis owners a big smile on their face. This was (and for me still IS) the best home street brawler game, and now i can play this on my 55 inch TV where the color seems to jump from the screen. Animation is still as fluid as i remember, and game play is just perfect, especially when you use a fighting stick, it feels like a true arcade game. Can't wait for the Nintendo 3DS version, with added game play modes and 3D effect!… Full Review »

    This "IS" the best side scrolling beat em up there is. It's better than the first and third Streets of rage and blows Double Dragon out This "IS" the best side scrolling beat em up there is. It's better than the first and third Streets of rage and blows Double Dragon out of the water. This and Final Fight stand as the best side scrolling fighters that there are in my opinion. Even today the graphics and sound effects/music are second to none. The controls are just about perfect and the fact that you can get this for only $5 on XBOX Live is a steal. Get it now!!!… Full Review »
