One of the things that made Streets of Rage 2 so memorable was that its four playable characters weren’t just clones of each other: each one felt different to control. This fairly normal uppercut obviously isn’t one of them, so get off my back New fighter Cherry has some ridiculous moves. Instead, his children Mr Y and Ms Y have taken over the family business, so it’s up to grizzled veterans Axel and Blaze along with a handful of new characters to put an end to these new crimelord upstarts. This time it isn’t the notorious Mr X who’s in charge, either: he’s still dead, you see. It isn’t just the criminals who’re up to no good this time, though: the police are at it too, and wait until you find out the batshit reason why. It’s set about a decade after the events of Streets of Rage 3, and sees crime once again plaguing the city. The plot is as unnecessary as it’s always been. Although it’ll never replace my true love, there’s no denying that Streets of Rage 4 is glorious. Instead, for the past two weeks my heart has been singing from the rooftops.
#STREETS OF RAGE 4 BOSSES CODE#
When I was offered review code for the game a fortnight ago I reluctantly accepted, ready to have my heart broken. On the contrary: having watched some of the trailers, I was worried that this may not be the Streets of Rage I knew and loved, and that in the 26(!) years that have passed since the last game, it looked like something special may have been lost. To my mind, it’s a virtually flawless game: one that would feel just as immensely satisfying during my thousandth playthrough as it did during the first.īecause of this, you’d think I would have been thrilled when it was announced that Streets of Rage 4 was finally on the way. Streets of Rage 2 is one of my top 5 favourite games of all time.
