    The new Streets of rage is absolutely incredible, and I went right back to my childhood when I played it on Sega MD. Thank you to the developers for bringing back such a great game taking all the best from the past. Minus for me one - it is short.

    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. To make things even better it’s day one Game Pass too.

    Maybe it is not pure 10, some bosses could be better, game is not so hard, but this game is very very good
    Arcade mode is best mode for me, thats real SOR, story mode is more for players who do not want real chalange and for me when i want to play with my son :) I grew up on Streets of rage and Sega genesis, so this is something what i was waiting 25 years. Thank you!

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.

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!)

    PS: На низкие оценки от игроков можно просто не обращать внимания, так как это ньюкамерский вброс, а игра всё же делалась с большим упором на аудиторию не понаслышке знающую серию Street of rage

Online issues are the only problem I've had, the game would freeze and we would have to restart the level. Can't handle the beat down! But then an hour later I tried with someone else and we went all 12 stages.

    Artstyle and level design is great imo, got some levels that are reminiscent of the classic stages. Love how the screen shakes and how punchy the moves sound. Blaze
    The game doesn't have drop-in drop-out Arcade which is a downside and needs to be added.

    First off this is my first time playing a Streets of Rage game and this review is from the perspective of someone new to the series.

    Story: this game's story is really nothing special in my opinion just skip the cutscenes to get to the game. It's really nothing to write home about (then again I haven't played any other streets of rage) some interesting character moments especially with Estel but nothing they commit to, and to be honest, I prefer that so overall 5/10 don't really care about it enough to review the story thoroughly

    Gameplay: overall extremely fun with a bit of repetition, I started off with axel in the first couple of levels and then moved to blaze because I thought i should try something new and just decided to stick with her for the entire game. this game has a really good way of teaching its mechanics it throws you in these situations where you are forced to learn and you either learn or die and this way by the end of the game you become so much better than in the beginning and that sense of progression is very satisfying in the beginning I died a couple of times to the first boss and by the end that first boss was just a type of enemy that I defeated with ease. and your moves don't upgrade you don't get any power boost you as the player just learn how to get better over the game without you even knowing it, the bosses are sometimes forgettable but certain ones where great like the ninja master was badass and the cop chick was pretty cool the final boss and stage are both incredible. the combos and specials are EXTREMELY satisfying to string together and when you start hitting 15 - 20 hit combos you feel like an absolute badass. this game is extremely hard especially for a newcomer but I wouldn't steer away from this game if you're new the game teaches you how to play at a brisk pace throughout the game. played most of the game in normal with 4 lives and when I increased the life count I kinda felt like a pushover but I realized VERY QUICKLY that this game does not play around and is very difficult in the final boss i survived with a TINY sliver of health with no lives left and screamed at my television with excitement. overall amazing combat with some deep and fantastic mechanics. a good difficulty that slowly ramps up with a good pace and multiple difficult choices to make the game not EASY but difficult for YOUR LEVEL OF SKILL I never felt I took the easy route by going on normal instead of hard it just felt it was meant for my skill. sometimes the combat can get a bit repetitive especially if you play the same character throughout the game such as I did but not anything too bad FANTASTIC (9/10)

    Soundtrack: I'm listening to the soundtrack as I write this and I can say that it absolutely slaps so fantastic a bunch of really funky tunes that are just amazing and fit each stage perfectly Masterpiece of a soundtrack ( 10/10)

    Overall 8/10 from someone new to the series but if you're already a fan I would give it a 9/10 IF I was already a fan of the series and know all the combos and such.

I would have given it a 10 and it does deserve a 10 for the PS4 and switch systems but unfortunately I can’t give it a 10 for the Xbox one. As of 5/11/20 the Xbox one version is still missing the first patch update that allows for numerous video settings to be enabled. I’ve contacted dotemu and lizardcube and they did say the patch is coming but I think it’s ridiculous that it’s been almost 2 weeks and us Xbox owners still haven’t received the update. It’s been disappointing but all we can do is wait at this point.. But again this is a great game and I’m really happy it was released. Just please dotemu release the update already. Expand

    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.

    I really like the art style both in game and in cutscene. I think the characters, bosses and regular enemies were all very well designed. There was also an impressive amount of variety. This applies to gameplay mechanics as well. The many different weapons, throwables and obstacles in each stage as well as the surprisngly impressive enemy variety really kept me engaged.

    The combat is also a lot of fun. I'm not great at these games so I mostly used the same simple combos on easy mode but still had a lot of fun.

    The only two complaints I have really are the lack of voice acting during cutscenes and the lack of an ending. Story isn't the reason you play at all but I think voice acting would have added a lot as the art panels between stages were really nice. I wasn't expecting a powerful ending but it would have been nice to see the heroes stride off together or something. Going straight from the final boss to credits felt a little odd.

    Overall a very fun game especially if you love beatemups.

It respects the legacy while embracing the standards of today. Graphically, SOR 4 is made up of gorgeous cel-shaded art work. It looks terrific by default, but you can use filters to remove details or "demaster" it with 16-bit graphics. There are 12 levels with comic-book story panels that appear in-between stages. The online play is appreciated and so is the unlockable content. As you progress in the campaign, you'll earn retro skins for Axel, Blaze and Adam. After you finish the game, you can play a Boss mode, Battle (Vs.) and Arcade (no story). I also liked the modifiers that change the food power-up appearances and their sizes. Each of the three difficulty levels can be quite challenging. While there are a few things that keep this from being perfect, some fans might find this to be the best in the series. As a piece of nostalgia, I would rate this with a 9.3 out of 10. Expand

    Whether you’re a fan of the originals or not, Streets of Rage 4 is a blast from start to finish. Satisfying combat, incredible music and visuals and tons to unlock mean this should be sticking around on your hard drive for some time yet. A lack of 4 player online is a disappointment, but otherwise what’s here more than makes up for the long wait.
