Graphics have always been a highlight of this Genesis effort, pushing the hardware’s 64-color limit as far as it can go. Sprites doubled in size from the first Streets of Rage, and detail will stay comparable with any future release in this downloadable Sega Vintage line of re-releases.
Classic beat-em-ups are made for online play, something that was not feasible at the time of their release (at least on any level comparable to today). Multi-player adds incalculable value to these unforgettable titles, and Streets of Rage 2 has no problem sitting alongside Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Golden Axe In many ways, it bests both of those to become the best 400 point beat-em-up on the service.
Streets of Rage 2 is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB Animated Violence.
