Write a Comment»No way. Let me say it again, no way. I loved Streets of Rage back when it was on genesis. In fact, I still have it for my genesis. I loved that game, it was so awesome to play. Now that its on XBLA, I will be picking that up ASAP. I recommend that everyone pick this up, for 5 dollars its a great deal, and SOR is just an awesome game.
I remember that I stayed with 1.5 on my PSP so I could emu. that on it which didn’t work too well. But it was awesome.
Oh. this is also perfect. Because i usually refrain from buying things from XBLA since I never have enough points. But right now I have exactly 400 points left in my account so I’m running like a giddy schoolgirl right now to download it.
lol i never have any points
Streets of Rage 2 = Most Homo game I’ve played in awhile lol.
When you run up to your friend playing co-op, you grab them from behind real tight and throw them over your shoulder. Its actually kind of funny to hear my friend yell “get away from me you homo” as we progress through the stage with me chasing behind him.
Such a fun game, brings back the good times.
OMG it’s so much fun! Literly when ever you press grab and ur both on the same screen then one of the two characters will literly run over n grab him behind n just swing back and forth. But besides all the little homo stuff…it’s amazing! Go buy it people, It’s got co-op, one player, AND versus mode… good deal for 400 points.
