Streets of Rage Reviews

What is it that we like about fighting games? Whatever it is, Streets of Rage did it for me. This game was a side scrolling fighting game where enemies would come onto the screen from the left and right, only for you to beat them to pieces. The game had eight levels. The storyline to this game was probably the worst thing about it, as ...  Read the complete review

Streets of Rage is a cracking sice-scrolling beat-em-up that sees you taking on an American crime empire, fighting with hoodlums through the city streets. You can choose to play as one of three cops, Axel, a good all-rounder who moves at a medium speed and is of medium strength, black character Adam, who is very slow but packs a real punch, or ...  Read the complete review

The player gets to choose from three players -- Adam - The bruiser, Axel - the all-rounder and Blaze - the agile gymnast. All are police vigilantes set out to investigate and ultimately destroy the evil crime syndicate masterminded by the aptly named and cliche ...  Read the complete review

If you are an original Megadrive owner and played or owned Streets of Rage at the time, only then can you appreciate its greatness. Released in the early 90s as a rival to Capcom's Final Fight, it is simply sublime. Whilst Capcom ported a substandard version of Final Fight to the SNES (the later Mega CD release was virtually perfect, but hardly ...  Read the complete review

Streets of Rage was argueably one of the best games to ever be released on the Sega Mega Drive system. It is a platform based beat-em-up with a mean storyline to boot. I remember playing this as a child and thinking how innovative and awesome it really was. There weren't many other games like it, and it drew some controversy as a ...  Read the complete review
