    Streets of Rage 4 is both a sequel and a throwback to the original 2D brawler series. The gameplay has been tweaked and the presentation updated for the modern day, but it’s still an unabashedly retro experience that will appeal to a select few.

    Streets of Rage 4 delivers the greatest hits of the classic series and is at its best when played with at least one friend. If the primary focus was delivering a traditional Streets of Rage experience with a modern coat of paint, it absolutely succeeds. But while it layers on a few new and interesting mechanics, it’s still a very conservative update to the quarter-century-old format that feels like a slave to the past.

The online co-op which works as you’d expect from the franchise’s newest release unless partnered with that random gamer with the dial up broadband speed as your team mate. There is 4 player local but not online unfortunately, but likely a wise decision to keep the game as playable as possible and to at least offer an online option for those without couch co-op buddies to hit the streets with. The soundtrack is as good as and even better than previous games in the series, and there's the option to have the retro soundtrack that you love and will hum to from memory. Streets Of Rage 4 feels exactly how it should, it takes a step forward in the franchise without leaving the old fans behind. Everything you enjoyed from the old games remains in tact while adding to the overall enjoyment the long time series has always delivered. I have a feeling as a gamer who is old enough to remember the awe from the release of the first game will undoubtedly fall in love all over again and new players will still get the same draw we did so many years ago. The return of old foe and the variety of new keeps things fresh and always planning a new strategy for victory. While the classic moves remain the new concept integrate with the quality you’d expect as a veteran of the franchise. The environments are well crafted and transition very nicely as you traverse thru the streets of rage. At the end of the day, everything you’d expect is back, and it's nostalgic as you wished. Smashing cars, breaking mailboxes, picking up pipes, eating plump turkeys, and laying some sweet co-op beat-down on the streets. The graphics are stylized and sharp, with smooth animations. Controls are responsive and tight. So, whether you played the franchise over 2 decades ago, or are a newcomer you simply shouldn’t hesitate, dive in with a buddy and rage on the streets. The price of admission is more than fair considering it comes in less than half priced the other games of the series when they released, so as a fan of the long running franchise this is an absolute must buy for your Xbox One library.… Full Review »
