Best Streets of Rage game?

What do you think is the best?

From best to worst I'd rate them 3, 1 and 2. Three is the pinnacle of the sde scrolling beat-em up genre for me. The wide variety of moves and techniques you can do really make the combat satisfying, I enjoy the music the most, and the addition of dashing really kicks up the speed of the game. The only negative for me is that it's crazy difficult, but that's fun if you're into it. I think the graphics are great as well.

I like part 1 more than part 2 mainly for the art style, some of the bosses and some of the unintended combat things like being able to change direction the direction you're facing in the middle of a jump or attack make the combat more interesting.

For me the best is 2, 1 then 3.

2 had the best soundtrack and the levels were better the only levels I hate in Streets of Rage 2 is the part with the motorbikes. As for 1 it was great along with great music but 3 I didn't like too much the soundtrack felt a bit weaker plus Max was removed and replaced with the boring Dr. Zan.

2 is the best one for me, mainly 'cos of all the memories of playing this game with friends, but 1 and 3 are both still good.

I am shocked you consider SOF2 the worst :o What planet are you from? Kidding :P Anyway I would say 2 is the best, then 1 and finally 3. I enjoyed them all but SOF2 is just the best in terms of characters, moves, environments, bosses and especially music, though the original SOF comes close in that department.

Bare Knuckle II was one of the defining games of the Mega Drive and of the 16-bit generation. It gets my vote.

Streets of Rage 1 was my favourite in the series.

2 was my favorite, and 3 is my least favorite.

One will always have a place in my heart as it was the original reason I purchased a Genesis to begin with. Part 2 became my favorite because it just added so much more to the great series.

I can't really comment on 3 because I didn't like the fact Yuzo Koshiro didn't make that soundtrack. The first two rocked. Third one just failed to hard to be worth anything good.

2 then 3

for some reason I hate the 1st one.

Just refreshed my memory and he did indeed. That kind of sucks though being he did such great jobs on the first two. The third SOR soundtrack sounded like trash.

I'd go with 2, seeing as how it's one of my all-time favorite side-scrolling beat 'em ups. I wasn't a huge fan of Streets Of Rage 1, but that could've been because I was playing the Master System version and not the Genesis one, and I had no idea there even was a third. Now I must look it up.
