85 average through 55 reviews

The general consensus seems to be that while it doesn't innovate it does that style of game as good as its ever been done

I'm probably going to have to double dip on this because I got the physical version from limited run but that wont arrive for months and if I want to play it now I'll just have to get it digitally

Jesus I had no idea this was out so soon

Did they announce more characters than Hobo Axel and Blaze?

Except for Roo and Ash

Ash I understand both due to the offensive stereotype and also because his moveset was clearly unfinished, but come on, to not add Roo when you have every version of every other playable character seems really dumb

Couldn't Roo not throw or pick up items, though. Like, he was more "complete" than the other secret characters, but he was still fairly incomplete.

EDIT: Though I guess Shiva was, too, and they apparently gave him a full moveset.

Chalk that up to kangaroos not being intelligent enough to use tools (I don't know if that's actually true IRL) and make it an actual trade-off for having really good speed or something

Ive been waiting most of my life to finally play a new Streets of Rage game.

Every last hype.
Plus some extra hype I had hidden in a drawer.

Roo also wore boxing gloves, which would make picking up and holding stuff even more difficult.

doesn't skate wear boxing gloves too?

And yea, just like Soul Calibur V's bitch ass, they don't want to give us the previous teen characters and let us see them grown up

Adam coming back is cool, but wheres adult Skate?

Played a bunch over lunch -- haven't unlocked the retros yet (or Adam) but yeesh it feels like there's serious character tiers in this game

There's probably some tech I'm missing but Blaze and Axel seem terrible compared to Cherry and Floyd. Who thought not giving them dashes to get in on enemies was a good idea?

I guess they're trying to emphasize that they're old and can't move like they used to!

So what are you supposed to do about the judoka who can counter literally every hit, just throw them over and over and over?

Oh, sweet, I didn't know that. It's better than nothing, and I guess they could always potentially add in current versions of him and the others down the line.

Yes if you're good enough or playing on an easy enough difficulty, maybe not if you're on Mania. I dived right into Hardest (second highest difficulty, yeah I know) during lunch and it took until just now to beat the final boss. It's a game that makes you earn your victories for sure.

lol I played and beat the game in the past couple of hours with a friend. Reminded me a lot of the good ol' days of beat 'em ups. Definitely worth it.

Also, I was surprised to see in the credits that Yoko Shimomura composed a song. Wasn't listening to the music clearly, so I really should go back and listen to it.
