Episode Notes:
1. The Xbox One version is what I used here. It is part of the Xbox Games Pass if you have a subscription. It's also on PC, PS4 and Switch.
2. There is Game Gear/SMS music tracks in this game.
3. I purposely tried to avoid as many spoilers as possible. I stayed away from story and many of the later unlockables.
4. I had a combo going at nearly 100 hits right before uploading this. It was broken at the last minute by one of the knife guys running over top of me. I really hate those dude.
5. Cherry is the fastest player in the game. Floyd is much slower, but can rip apart mobs with major damage output.
6. The Streets of Rage 1 characters all have their cop backup special intact, but no regular special like Axel's Grand Upper. It makes later levels on higher difficulties, challenging.
7. This game seriously needs a pause menu jukebox. You should be able to play what you want instantly. - Ігри
![Streets Of Rage 4 - Strategies, Tips & Tricks Against The Most Annoying Enemies & Bosses [SoR4]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NfIryYrtdu4/mqdefault.jpg)
"If you wanted something entirely different, you shouldn't be playing something with a 4 in its title in a genre that's over 30 years old" I felt this in my soul, could not have said it better myself. Amen, brother.
Facts
You shouldn't be playing video games...facts!
We got something different. While promising on the Demo Disc vol. 2, Fighting Force for the PSX was a MISSTEP to say the least
I just can't imagine what you could reproach to this game. The visuals are top notch, the music great, the difficulty carefully balanced, the original battle system enhanced, the arcade elements such as the scoring aren't just for show, and we end with a lovingly rendered product which is so much more than the sum of its parts.
What's the reproach here, something dumb like it's not 3D or it's not that revolutionary new thing that I can't describe because it doesn't exist?
@@mkge7206 I think some people wanted it to be pixel art like the old days. They don't like the new hand drawn style.
When you see an arcade machine in the levels, don't bust it up! Grab a nearby tazer and shock the arcade machine and enjoy!
Ah that’s how you do it. Did it once by mistake
I did that last night and was surprised and happy
@@wrena79 me too. Lol
I was so disappointed when I tried to show my buddy this little Easter egg. But now I know..tazers are key
Ahhhhh that's why I kept seeing the machines. I kept smashing them up. Thanks for the tip
"Doesn't move the series forward"
What exactly are people expecting?!! How would they do that anyway? It's a beat 'em up. You beat people up!
The thing is it DOES move the series forward. Way more special moves you can do. The characters all playing very differently plus you can switch characters at the end of each level which is awesome. The new characters are fantastic and the old ones are better than they used to be. And it plays so smoothly
But yeah it's not overly obsessed with fan service and just having old stuff everywhere. It has a bit of that but not too much. And plenty of brand new stuff, brand new ideas
I'm loving it right now. It probably is already my favourite streets of rage game. And that's saying a lot.
@TheGamingCasanova they have all the same moves they used to and then like 10 more new ones added on top of that. If you can't find their old moves, check the "fighting tips" option on the pause menu. Some moves are now special moves instead of regular ones. And the ability to chain moves together and come up with your own unique combos is so cool. It's like a fighting game level of combos, almost.
I think one of my favourite additions is probably the simplest one. The charge attack. Simply hold down the button for a couple of seconds then release. Because its a really clever bit of risk vs reward game design. Do you play aggressively, with the high risk high reward charge attack or do you play cautiously and grind down enemies and bosses slower? It's like the glory kill thing in Doom 2016. If you go more aggressive you get rewarded, in that game with ammo and health, in SoR 4 with a super powerful attack. It's easy to miss with the charge attack, and easier to get hit. But if you connect with it it one shots some enemies and takes a huge chunk out of the bosses.
That risk vs reward game design is basically the primary thing in good game design. It's always about that to one extent or the other. Do you play Mario running through as fast as you can? Well it's riskier to play that way. Or do you play slow and cautious, it takes longer, but it's a lot easier. That's just one example.
Every character in SoR 4 plays so distinctively, so differently, that the gameplay with each character feels really fresh and you come up with different tactics depending on who you play as. That's clever game design too. And hard to do in a beat em up where everything is often very samey.
@TheGamingCasanova the dash attacks are in the game. It even tells you in the "fighting tips" bit how to do them.
I just wanna add, on top of the amazing combo system, there's _walls_ !!! It's just the funnest thing to add to a combo by them bouncing off a wall or a pole and you can juggle them for a bit. So cool
@@duffman18 not sure if you could do it in SoR1 but you've been able to hold the attack button since part 2. It's not a new mechanic.
@@duffman18
Sorry, but if you've played SORR then you'd know just how rough this game feels, and yea the og characters got nerfed hard. No dashing, limited mobility, plus the enemies are overreliant on that flinch invulnerability which gets old once basic enemies start doing it.
Remake had everything all rounded out, but everyone knew it would be a tough act to follow
The game is amazing, We just need another Golden Axe, Shadow Dancer and Revenge Of Shinobi
And beyond oasis
And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Turtles in Time
I grabbed the PC release off gog.com (love muh DRM-free stuff). Yesterday I spent all day giving my Logitech F310 a serious workout.
Golden axe sucks
@@horrorwhore7946 You shut the hell up!
Can you imagine Shinobi getting this treatment?
I would cry tears of joy....
What this man said.
I believe the Sega game library is on par or better than Nintendo, but their management sucks, that's why Nintendo and Sony beat Sega every time.
@TheGamingCasanova but there are at least nods to streets of rage remake i.e. Adam's moveset and the train level and other little things if you play through it for a bit. I'm only at stage 5 but I've seen the trailers and there's a level where you fight on top of a train and that level was definitely in remake...at least they let you know they were aware of that great game but this one is damn good in its own right with or without any major innovations but to be honest the beat em up genre isn't too known for innovation. Other genre's more so tho.
It looks like a terrible flash game compared to the beautiful original. Shinobi III is one of the best looking 16 bit games. If they made a shitty generic looking remake, it would be an insult to the franchise.
Totally. The PS2 games were more like good concepts badly executed. Fun but they needed more time in the oven =)
I'm extremely happy with how this game turned out. It makes me feel like the 20 year old I was back when I was playing my Sega Genesis in the 1990s.
If you love SEGA, this is definitely the right channel to follow. Great content. 💙
Facts
The only review I needed! Picking this up this weekend and I can’t friggin’ wait. Streets of Rage is back, baby!!!
@@VaughnJogVlog yeah i ll tell you vaughn, im switching to microsoft next gen, not sticking with sony. Not any more, theyve burned me, and a lot of their fans lately
Saw the IGN review and was glad SLX had uploaded his review also.
It's really really good. I been playing at work for an hour and I can tell you this is one of the best 22.49 I ever spent in a long time. It is worth every penny. Everything he said in this review was correct. It plays like Streets of Rage but something different entirely. You will see it when you play it
VaughnJogVlog Thanks for the heads up! I had no idea!!!
Dickens Dumont you can not argue with $22.49 in this day and age.... a steal.
10:52 "Streets or Rage 4 didn't need to do anything more than be a great Streets of Rage game. And if you wanted something entirely different, you shouldn't be playing something with a '4' in its title, that's in a genre which is over thirty years old."
Thank you. The IGN review is all kind of moronic for dismissing the game because its not "innovative" enough, or whatever. When you insist on reinventing a formula which 100% already works (when all people want is some more of that formula which they love), you end up with complete misfires like _Mighty No.9_
As a wise person once said - you can't spell 'Ignorant' without IGN.
If this excellent game were made by Nintendo, IGN would have given it an 11.
IGN (and Gamespot) reviews are dictated by a lot of factors, the quality of the game is only one of them(and far from the most important). Don't expect a good review for an independent (ie, no add money) but not "indie" game from a genre they don't like.
i think that is completely legitimate criticism, actually.
@DejaVoodooDoll Streets of Rage has always been a fast-playing, offensive-minded experience all about kicking ass. Adding a block move would mean the developers would have to incorporate a reason to have it, thus slowing down the experience with lots of annoying blocking. I don't want that in my Streets of Rage game.
Still addicted 8 months later. Cousin stops by every Sunday night for co op and doesn't seem to get old. We're in our 40s. Must have more games like this one. A godsend amongst garbage. Now if I can have a Smash TV port in the meantime to XBox I'll be pretty thrilled. Love that game!
This game...I've been waiting for this game.
The wait is over.
I got it and beat it the day it came out. I used to talk about games with my brother in the past and what I felt badly needed a sequel and streets of rage was one I mentioned. Thankfully this game turned out really good.
I am an early Street of Rage player and I love this game. I was a little bit skeptic about its graphisms because I am not a fan of this kind of design but the way developers handled it is just incredible and very well animated.
Really enjoyed this review mate your summary towards the end summed up my thoughts exactly! Great job
@TheGamingCasanova Isn't it fairly common for online mode in games to have issues within the first day or few when they're initially released?
@TheGamingCasanova I don't think spriting was a big deal. I barely used it in SoR3 and only Skate had it in SoR2. It appears that the combo and special moves have more depth than the previous games which I find to be more important. Each to their own though
@Daniel Ibbertson, same here. It summed it up for me. This isn't a game where it needed to reinvent anything. Just getting it right from the beginning was the key here and they nailed it in every way. Sega need to start putting their IPs in the hands of other companies now. This is their future. Sonic Mania, Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom and now SOR4. Sega need to go this route. And by the way, I love your channel like crazy as well
Mr X's own children: The Y Twins. Mr X's grandchildren: The Z Triplets. I'm plonking down for the Limited Run SOR4 Classic edition. Heard Limited Run has announced a Limited Collector's Edition with a 7" statue, original soundtrack to the game, chicken stress ball, metal cartridge and the previous features from the Classic edition, and there's an even more expensive Brawler's Edition that includes the aforementioned Limited Edition stuff, the exclusive being the OST in vinyl form and a complete set of trading cards.
Really mach? Damn, thought i got the best version, well i can quickly change that lol. Thanks man, i want those trading cards!!!
I picked up the limited vinyl today! Signed by yuzo koshiro! :D
Sold out within MINUTES! Probably less than 5 minutes. Unbelievable.
@@dcbfan1231 it was crazy! I had to set an alarm and wake up early 😂
They should do a prequel where the villain is Great Great Granny T.
Add Roo, run/roll, jukebox and new versions of the old characters Skate and Zan I'll be perfectly happy.
im pretty sure Roo is in this...
@@RetiredMegatron I only seen as an easter egg but not playable, even according to the player unlock listing.
Best SEGA channel on UA-cam!
5:42 Super MILF:) ha-ha, nice description. Great vid, as always!
"Bringing this ANCIENT series" I see what you did there =3
Pros:
- nice graphics style;
- very good sound and music;
- Blaze outfit;
- special attack work in combo;
- online coop;
- price - only 5,99 $
Cons:
- no run/roll;
- Axel outfit;
- Adam outfit;
- no alternative outfits;
- new characters;
- only 1 special (blitz) attack, when you earn score stars your blitz attacks are upgraded in 2-3 SoR (or use secret moves)
@MultiTarded it's subjective. I love it.
Cons:
- no run/roll;
Yeah bummer , would of made the game play much faster paced
Cherry can run circles around the enemy and Adam has a dash.
-cons: pusedo reviewers bitching and moaning
@@Prizrak-hv6qk It's still better than SoR 3 though..
@Sega Lord X I do however think it’s fair to criticize the game for omitting features that were introduced in Streets of Rage 3 that unquestionably improved gameplay, like sprinting. I can live without the dodging, but the sprinting was a godsend, in this game trying to walk to other side of the screen just to get to an enemy that won't keep still is an absolute slog, and a downgrade in gameplay and fluidity in my opinion. The characters feel slow and heavy, while most of the enemies can zip around at light speed, I would gladly give up one or even two of the new special attacks just to be able to move around the stage quicker. Final Fight 3 also introduced this mechanic around the same time, so one can assume it was a welcome edition to the tried and true formula. I’m interested to hear from the developers on why they chose to remove this feature, and I’m hoping it’s not just because everyone hates on the game for its censorship and questionable music style, because right now it feels like they avoided looking at the third game altogether.
The lack of sprinting and rolling really hits hard when you have to face SOR3 enemies like Ruby and Gold. These characters were designed so the player uses those skills to avoid their attacks. Can't wait to get the SOR3 retro characters unlocked. At least SOR4 Adam has a dash.
@@Ashura96if you can unlock the SOR3 version of the characters, does that mean that maybe they have their sprint abilities intact?
Yeah, without running and dodging it feels like a step back for me.
Funny that If you watch the game oppening It ends with Axel running really fast. Cant do that in the game!
So it turns out some of the characters can dash and/or run, but Axel got his manoeuvrability nerfed the most, I guess 90% of us didn’t notice because we only pick Axel! Still, it sucks that they took his sprint away, Adam has a dash ability so I might just use him instead.
"It was only a matter of time" said no one ever waiting for this video, because we all new it was coming
Awesome
I’ve waited for this game for so long! The 90’s are alive and well again! Brings a tear of joy to the eye it does!
I spent a ton of time over the years playing Bomber Games SOR Remake, which is amazing. After that experiance I was pretty skeptical that anyone would be able to pull off a worthy SOR sequel. But they manged to do it, and tie all the characters together in a new story without it being lame. Bravo!
My initial impressions of the game were good, but the Sega Lord X endorsement is what I was waiting for.
Yo, Sega Lord. Just wanted you to know that this review was so fire I watched it twice. Your channel is top tier. So thanks for making videos, you're awesome dude
I feel the same about Sonic Mania. It took what truly worked from the first 3 games and maybe CD too and added to them, rather than, as you say, trying to invent the wheel.
But I think these long hibernations are good. They build up the anticipation and excitement. I think we all can agree that we eventually grew bored with these games even though we never lost our respect for them.
This game was definitely made as a fan service to the Sega Classic. I have always been a fan of Streets of Rage and Beat em ups in general. This is definitely one of the best to come out recently and definitely does the series justice. Awesome game.
I own 2 games for Switch: Sonic Mania and Street of Rage 4. Sega does!!
Buy also Ninja Saviors, it a great remake of Ninja Warriors Again (Snes), you can find it on eBay for relatively cheap!
I know im happy with how the game turned out. Reminds me of my youth. Unlocking characters and secrets. No loot boxes, just good old fashion fun and i love the 4 player integration. Cant wait to try it with my buds down the road. The soundtrack is not bad either.
Streets of Rage 3 lost me. But the first 2 were part of our lives as kids. I remember getting the Sega Fighting System for Christmas. What a morning
I'm glad this didn't turn out like Bethesda's "new" Commander Keen
Big props to the devs
The review I was waiting on! Wished they had a switch to pixel art stages like Wonder Boy!
This game is full of innovations! The combo system, the options, the gauge, the desperation moves...
I kind of wonder if the reviewers who claim it's "not innovative enough" actually bothered to play the game for very long and if they ever actually played the first 3.
Love the addition of the combo system.
After downloading this game yesterday in playing it for so many hours I have to say it's my favorite game of 2020 so far , it's just phenomenal, a true throwback a labor of love , absolutely loving this game
Finally picked the game up during an eShop sale recently, beat the story mode, managed to get to the final battle on Arcade mode and promptly picked up the DLC when it eventually released on Switch - if you are even a moderate beat-em-up fan, I heartily recommend it. It's gorgeous, sounds great, has a good variety of characters and moves and feels great to play just like SOR2 with responsive controls and a satisfying sense of impact to the hits. I love all the refinements like the ability to juggle, recover health spent using desperation moves (the green section of your health bar fills in as long as you keep attacking and aren't hit after using one) etc.
I ordered the physical version from limited run games so I’m waiting for that but I can’t wait to go through it. I also got river city girls so I’m on a beat em up kick.
River city girls is *chef kiss* magnificent. I also highly recommend River City Underground.
@@jaykelley103 Is it on Switch?
absolutely wonderful and well put Streets of rage 2 is hands down my favorite saga Genesis game of all time and I am on my way home to download streets of rage four right now
I'm here for all of your SEGA content. Love it dude! Keep it up!
Nice one man i probably would of missed it, always up to date and on point thank you Lord X :)
I was waiting for your review, glad I did.
I thoroughly enjoyed this game. I installed it yesterday morning and played it all the way through in one sitting first time I’ve done that a long time. Hope you guys enjoy the game as well stay safe
It’s 2 in the morning right now. I have to be up early to go work in a few hours, and you upload a video. Yeah, I guess I have to stay awake a bit longer.
So glad this is being so we'll received, I NEVER thought this day would come... and like others mentioned already YOURS was the only review I was waiting on!
The best 20 bucks I’ve spent in the past 6 months.
Wait so this game is only $20
Iconic_Philosopher Yeah it's cheap and it's well worth every cent.
Its 25
It's 22.49. 10 percent off
Patiently waiting on my physical copy from Limited Run. Playing 3D Streets of Rage 2 on my Nintendo 3DS until then.
Oh i know jackson! Im waiting for the same thing, and i am NOT patiently waiting lol. And i had no idea they had a 3d streets of rage on the 3ds, lucky bloody you
3D Streets of Rage 2 is amazing. Love the 3D effect (so immersive especially on N3DSXL). Local wireless multiplayer is also great. My favorite version of the game.
It's wild to think we not only got a new Sakura Wars AND a new Streets of Rage, but within a couple days of each other! It's just so good to see classic SEGA franchises coming back like this
I really enjoy your content; I hope you and everyone here continues to enjoy games from/inspired by our childhood(s).
Finally a truly honest opinion. I still swear we was raised in the same house. Stay well.
Can’t wait for the Shiva mod.
Oh yeah, it will be awesome!
Loved your insight on how other people criticized this game for something it is not intended to be at all. Very well put! Thanks for the great content! I've been watching you for over an year and you never fail do deliver the goods.
I'm so glad we're in an age where it's easy to access other reviews and opinions on games. Unlike the 5th and 6th gen where the internet was very limited and there only so many magazines that you could choose from and you had to pay for them too. Ign can eat shit for all I care, great review SLX! I can't wait for Limited Run copy to come in
“Super Milf Blaze Fielding...” lol had to skip back to make sure I had that correctly
Going out to the shop to buy it right now! I loved the original ones
drunkensailor112 I can’t find it
@@cartman9413 me neither. However the shop owner told me he is receiving some physical copies and he will hold one for me. I don't want this digitally
Over the years i've played SoR Remake extensively, i never expected SoR4 to be nearly as good but it is even better. SoR4 looks, sounds and plays like a dream. I hope Sega brings back Shinobi, Golden Axe and other forgotten series in the same manner.
And boy, i cannot get over how deliciously thicc Blaze is.
I recently got Streets of Rage 4 for my Switch and it’s a worthy sequel to the original 16 bitt trilogy that adds new content while respecting the series and while I wasn’t fond of the new soundtrack at first but it’s really grown on me a lot so much that I really like it now.
Streets of rage remix gives classic adam special moves comparable to those found in streets of rage 2-3. Too bad sega pulled the plug on that one. A truely great SoR game as well
It was Streets of Rage Remake, actually, but thanks anyway ;)
Im 36 so of course I bought SOR4 at day 1. One word: MASTERPIECE.
I was afraid, as seen in other revivals / remakes, they would have tried to "evolve" too much the basic mechanics but, besides obviously more combos and fighting skills, they didn't ruin the sor's core. Best 22 euros spent on Steam, ever!
I didnt know until earlier today this was a thing. I am soo excited to sit down tomorrow and geek out. This was one of my all time favorite walk down the street beat me ups!!!
Been playing this all day with my buds online. It's amazing and deep. Fantastic package made with lots of care and detail. The stages are eye popping beautiful. Hopefully this will sound a return of 2D games!
Great game! It would be nice to play a new Final Fight game with upgrades graphics...
Great review as always. I've ordered three limited edition megadrive boxed version. Can't wait!
I fire streets of rage 4 up from time to time just because of how awesome it is! As a fan of the series. As soon as the title screen hit It put a smile and a tear on my face. I always remember those countless hours me and my brother put into SOR3. I love this series! Awesome review SLX!
it's not been a long wait for me, i've played several Beats of Rage games, including Bomber Games own SOR Remake which needs to be played by every fan!
Cheers !
This game looks as its predecessors but much more beautiful. I love streets of rage
Yes... Have been waiting for this since I heard SOR 4 released .. Di you say this word, my Lord ? (Sorry not yet finish watching the video actually)
It PLAYS like Streets of Rage.
It LOOKS like Streets of Rage.
It SOUNDS like Streets of Rage.
It FEELS like Streets of Rage.
bpcgos my lord?!!?! Sounds pretty gay bro
@@wussup12345 It is ...? Did you mean gay like in sexual orientation or something else ?? Sorry, maybe cultural difference making it sounds weird because its means as honorary title as far as I knew regarding to 'My Lord" words being used... (Im not came from english speaking country, so pardon me..)
Blaze is still on 'FIRE'. XD ♥
I've been playing since the og Genesis days, I honestly love these games, and I'm really looking forward to playing this new entry in the series, these games r amazing! 💯😃
Just subbed, great non-spoiler review, I appreciate it!
The original SOR soundtracks are among the best music tracks in the entire videogame industry.
It’s a French game ! BRAVO !!! Vive la France 🇫🇷
I've spent many hours with this game, having beaten Arcade Mode solo up to Hardest difficulty, and I never knew you could alter the music and healing food items. So glad I decided to watch this, because no one else that I know of has mentioned it.
There were a few games I played with my Pop when I was younger, and those games have never aged in my eyes. SOR was probably the only co-op title out of the handful of games we bonded over, and the franchise has always been dear to me. Only Sega Lord X could review this game properly, and I'll be stoked to get a copy or two!
Someone disliked this video before even watching it... Christ
I actually have morons subbed to me just so they can neg my vids.
I absolutely want to get this game so badly.
@@SegaLordX thats messed up
Dont worry, I like it before I even finished watch it... : )
Sheng Long is back!!! - Imagine being so miserable you take joy in trying to ruin someone you’ve never met. It boggles the mind.
SLX: I wont spoil anything
also SLX Proceeds to show adam gameplay
They showed Adam gameplay in the fucking trailers.
@@darkchild130 he's in the game intro
Got your ass cooked trying to look smart. Lol
I bought it last night and all my fears were put to rest. They've done an incredible job. Great review.
When you sign off with your name that 'X' is so unique I look forward to it every time
looks like a solid game. but i still don't like the art style that looks like a western drawn fake anime wannabe
Grant H Lee me neither , I wish it looked like guilty gear and the characters didn’t look so mini... gravity rush maybe
@@48hourrecordsteam45 Guilty Gear is hot garbage.
These art style is so anime and cartoonish but it's a classic game in a more modern day style
Honestly I'm not a huge fan of the art style on 4, it's too clean for Streets. I wish they'd gone with a detailed pixel art like Kof or a 2d/3d engine similar to Guilty Gear. The animation looks great, just don't love the style.
I liked this review SLX. Informative and without spoilers especially coming from an OG like yourself ✊🏾I’m definitely getting this
You know what makes SoR special to me?
It seems like it's only important to me, cause nobody else mentions it.
The difficulty.
This game was designed for home consoles, and it shows.
There is nothing unfair about it and nothing is unpredictable.
If I play a Beat Em Up on MAME, anything goes and your char cycles between random attacks, bosses can block your attacks at random and not after a specific hit count, and so on...
Plus, in Arcade games, you take so much damage from each and everything.
It's basically like with grinding.
It shows when a game is designed around spending extra money.
And SoR isn't.
Making a game for most annoying type of human beings on the planet: retro gamers.
Retro gamers are too busy playing retro games. Modern retro revivals for the nostalgia market have much younger defenders and I agree 100% that they suck.
First Niggah
Dotemu has been hitting it out of the park in recent years. Both Streets of Rage 4 & TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge are phenomenal games & serve as such a great love letter to those of us who grew up playing side-scrolling, beat ‘em ups back in the day.
I am really digging this game. It added just enough new mechanics to keep it fresh with the combo system. The throwback to the old games are awesome and plentiful. Great review man!
Glad you liked this! I'm waiting on my Limited Run Games copy but maybe I'll hook up my Genesis to my Sony Trinitron and play some Streets of Rage 2 in the meantime.
I am getting this since it's only $22. I ordered a Saturn controller from Limited Run so can't wait to try it out with Streets of Rage 4. Awesome review, man.
Love the channel glad to see someone else loves Sega
I wish they would have included more of the neon green/blue/pink aesthetic from the Genesis games but it still looks good.
Great video and review. Been absolutely loving Streets of Rage 4. My only gripes are no 4 player online and no local wireless options (why have online but not local wireless?). So happy they didn't just go with a pixel art style (cool to include the old sprites though!). Love the art style and music. HD rumble on Switch is awesome too. Was gonna play on the Split Pad Pros but rumble is definitely part of the experience. Great game to play between Animal Crossing sessions lol.
I noticed this game was made by the same people who did the Wonder boy remake. And it really shows how respectful they were with the original games in this case, too. Played a bit of this game last night and I loved it. As soon as I get some free time I'm playing it to no end.
Great review!! Love your channel and videos!
This game is great but very bare bones.. I would imagine the DLC is arriving soon. New Levels with motorcycles, new characters, new bosses, skins and some more bells and whistles. DO IT!!
I'm a classic gamer. Newer titles just don't have the grab of the old ones, mostly due to feature bloat. They add an unnecessary learning curve, that I pick up on quickl, but leads to largely ignoring the micro systems. So a game like this is perfect for me.
Was 11 years old when Streets of Rage 3 released, the year prior when I got my Genesis in early 1993 I discovered SoR 2 and that was my favorite beat 'em up, I think until now. It's tough to compare the two but I think SoR 4 is going to get its hooks me the same way the second did. Took a long time and I still can't believe it's finally here, but I'm thrilled about it.
I was waiting your review for this game
This is the best review of any game i have ever personally witnessed!...THANKYOU!
I played the hell out of SOR 1,2,3 back in the day but my first experience was the original at the sears in the fashion square mall in charlottesville in 1991
Can't wait till I get to play this one
Got the game yesterday and It is GREAT! Games like this and Sonic Mania show that 16bit classic games are still relevant in the newer generation. The game is free with Xbox game pass and that was a huge Surprise!!!! good gob for a game well made!! KEEP GAMES LIKE THIS COMING AND I WILL BUY THEM!
You've come a long way since your early morbib monotone commentary videos which I found entertaining in a different way...keep up the good work!
Someone Get LizardCube to do Comix Zone reboot on the same engine!
