Streets of Rage 2 is EXPLOSIVE!
I loved Streets of Rage 2, for the Sega Genesis system. Why? Axel and Blaze return to dish out more martial arts mayhem, but there's more; Max Thunder, a skull crushing wrestling dynamo emerges with body slams and spinning fist attacks, as well as young African American...thrasher Skate, who uses breakdancing moves and spinning Capoiera-like kicks and in line skate attacks
With dozens of gang members to fight off, and so many weapons, either fighter you choose can simply pick up a pipe and smash the punks as they close in on dirt bikes, or go toe-to-toe with these jaw-breaking maniacs, using bone-crushing punches, head-smashing jump kicks, and your typical secret weapons. Dont forget to try busting their buns with your best friend, in the all new 2-Player Head-to-Head mode. Watch your friend, because your lethal attacks can easily hurt him if he stands too close to your punches and jump kicks! Beat them all, and you're the heroes!
This game deserves a five (5) star rating. However, all of the action is animated. Despite the comic book renderings, it's 16 megs of raw martial arts energy, and has as much action as a great martial arts flick! Sega has outdone itself... again!

GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!
Wow! This was like the best fighting game ever. I totally loved Streets of Rage 2. This was one of the true CLASSICS of the Sega Genesis. Whenever I fondly remember my beloved 16-bit console the fun I had playing SOR2 always comes to mind.

Yuzo Koshiro's jazzy score was mind-blowing! It completely immersed you in the seedy nightlife and underworld the game took place in. Even with this simple 16-machine SOR2 showed just how cool the music could still be.

Me and my best pal played this non-stop on 2-player mode. It was definitely the most fun you could have on the Genesis. What a game it is!!!

Classic Side-scrolling Brawler
This is a lost genre in fighting games that was eventually replaced by versus fighters such as Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. The combination of the cooperative gameplay, unique and diverse enemies, hokey but fun story, special attacks and cool catchy music make this one of my favorite all time video games. Part of a trilogy, this one is the best, mainly because of its gameplay, graphics and musical soundtrack, the latter of which is pure genius. Very playable (and replayable) even after all these years. Highly recommended.
