Like many people, Streets of Rage 2 is one of my all time favorite games. When word got out about part 4 I was excited but a bit skeptical that they could recapture the magic. Let me just say that this game is fantastic! Perfect amount of retro beat em’ up with some fun new additions. They even got Yuzo Koshiro to come back and create a few new tracks. The music is such an important part of the franchise. They even made it play a role in the storyline.


My only gripe is that the cop character Estel and the new versions of Max and Shiva aren’t playability . Hopefully they release a DLC down the line to remedy this.
