Streets of Rage 2
SCORE: 46
As I continue to work my way through my
old Genesis Streets of Rage games I come to Streets of Rage 2 next. This
home console retro game is similar to the original. Streets of Rage 2
gives us the choice of four playable characters at the start. There is
Max, Axel, Blaze, and Skate. Each has their own strengths and
weaknesses. I had to find a character that fit my game play style.
Streets of Rage 2 contains a mountain of violence. There can be two
players on the screen at one time. Together they can pummel the same
looking enemies in long levels over and over again. Streets of Rage 2
gets boring in the first level. The mini bosses make Streets of Rage 2
even longer and harder to beat. There is a timer in Streets of Rage 2,
but the action is so quick it was never an issue for me.
Streets of Rage 2 also contains enticement to lust issues. The upbeat
music fits the aggression increasing game play on this Genesis
cartridge. Lining up certain enemies like Jet can be a real pain.
Streets of Rage 2 starts easy and increasingly becomes more difficult.
Never pick up a weapon in Streets of Rage 2. The enemies fight that much
harder when you are armed with something. Also expect cheap hits, off
screen hits, and more to generally ruin your day.
