Streets of Rage 2

Unbiased review of SoR2

User Rating: 9 | Streets of Rage 2 X360

By xunhallowed | Review Date: August 30, 2007

The Good: Five dollars is a bargain - Graphics smoothing is a great option and actually improves how the game looks - Surprisingly deep attack system for one button - Online modes are fun and mostly lag-free - Being able to customize game settings and save your game midway is a pleasure

The Bad: Story mode is relatively short, even with the replay value - Finding out a few of the more complicated moves is difficult with no in-game move list - Some attacks are poorly mapped to the 360 controller

I just want to say for the record that I have never played any Streets of Rage games prior to this one. Moving on, I played the demo of this game when it came out, and I absolutely loved it. Online versus AND co-op make it worth 10 dollars, but it's only 5! No reason not to get this game; one of the best XBLA titles out there. The Verdict: For 5 dollars, you have no excuse not to buy it.

  For five dollars this is a great bargain. Streets of rage 2 on the XLM is just as good as i remembered it being.

  Streets of Rage 2 on the XLM is a good time waiting to be had. I had this game when it was released on the Sega Genisis, it was one of those games that me and my brother played the hell out of. Time was gone by and i w... Read Full Review
