- A playthrough of Sega's 1991 beat 'em up for the Sega Genesis, Streets of Rage.
Played on the normal difficulty level as Axel.
The alternate endings are shown at 51:19. In a two player game, if P1 and P2 give different answers when Mr. X asks them to join him, they are forced to fight to the death. If the winner then refuses Mr. X's second offer and wins the final fight, a character-specific "Bad End" sequence is shown.
In the months leading up to the North American launch of the Super Nintendo, Sega made it clear that they had no interest in letting Nintendo waltz in and eat their lunch. Amid a flurry of high profile releases that quickly went on to become fan-favorites, two particular standouts cemented Sega's position. The first bomb was Sonic the Hedgehog, dropped in June of 1991, and the second, Streets of Rage, came along just two months later.
Of all of the beat 'em up franchises that spawned in the wake of Capcom's 1989 hit Final Fight (and to a lesser extent, Sega's own Golden Axe), Streets of Rage - a near arcade-quality Genesis exclusive - was arguably the best and most influential.
Streets of Rage supports simultaneous 2P play and provides players the choice of three unique selectable characters. Axel, Blaze, and Adam each have access to a wide range of strikes and grapples, including back hits and co-op attacks, and when things get dicey, they can radio for backup, prompting an officer to fire a rocket into the crowd.
The gameplay is smooth and the controls are intuitive, the graphics are sharp and detailed, and though the sprites are on the small side and their animations are a little choppy, the game can flood the screen with armies of bad guys without tanking the framerate. In 1991, this was impressive stuff.
But the real star here, the one thing that absolutely everybody remembers about Streets of Rage, is its soundtrack. Yuzo Koshiro was in top form here, and the dance hall-inspired tunes were an amazing show of the system's sound capabilities. I mean, it's hard to argue with any game that kicks off its first stage with a remix of Pump Up the Jam, wouldn't you agree?
Streets of Rage is a classic that was only ever surpassed on the Genesis by its direct sequel, and console alliances be damned, it's a must-play title for any self-respecting fan of the 16-bit generation.

Streets of Rage is... well, let's be honest, you don't need me to tell you how good it is.
It & SoR2 especially still hold up... We don't talk about the 3rd game.
It's everyone's favorite Beat em' Up.
@@Dorian_Scottthe 3rd game is like Bruno, we don't talk about it🤣
@@Des_Zee Never seen that movie. What exactly did Bruno do to warrant being ignored?😂
The 3rd game's pretty great albeit obscenely difficult. The Japanese version is definitely worth a play though.
This playthrough is one of those you are actually going to watch mostly because you want to hear to the awesome soundtrack. This game makes me going back to early 90's when being a careless child was my only responsibility.
Ah, yes, the original game of the series. Keeping the iconic music aside, the game is challenging but memorable.
I might be the only one in the world who likes the original best.
Still one of the best soundtracks on the SEGA Genesis....
A classic for sure. Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack always on point.
You dang right Sega wasn't gonna let Nintendo come and eat it's lunch! I had a Genesis since its launch in '89 and this game made me love it even more💯
1991 was a heavy year for both Nintendo and Sega.
The one that started it all.
My favorite game from the Sega Genesis and one of the best soundtracks ever made.
Heck yeah! Streets of rage! You're know you're in for a ride when the Music composer is mentioned and credited on the title screen.
You’re referring to Yuzo Koshiro! What’s your favorite Yuzo Koshiro score?
@@danalong1237
If I'm thinking Yuzo Koshiro, I'm thinking Streets of Rage 2's "Go Straight" and "Dreamer".
@@SoulStreak64 Good taste! "Dreamer" is my favorite track in SoR2.
This and SoR2 are some of my favorite video games of all time. And Yuzo Koshiro's soundtrack is phenomenal.
Motohiro Kawashima co-composed the score for the sequel.
@@danalong1237 For two tracks. Expander and Max Man
Cool thing to wake up to on a Saturday.
Just like when I was a teenager. 😃
52:03 Anybody else find it hilarious that Mr. X, a crime lord boss, calls you an "Evil Man?" 😅
not when you understand how self-absorbed the depraved nature of man is. he felt betrayed, even though he more than likely spent his entire life betraying others. But since he only cares for and loves only himself, he's only conscious of and aware of himself; and, therefore, only considers his own feelings... since he is ALL he loves.
Love this series. The sequel was my favorite by far, but I can appreciate how revolutionary the original must have been when it released. And that opening theme is still one of my favorite songs of all time.
that enigma-esque soundtrack is hauntingly 90's epitome of a groove track
Best song in the whole series for me: Violent Breathing.
Love this! Brings back memories. 50 minutes to complete and no one really gave it a second thought. Now-a-days, people are pissed off if a game takes 10hrs or less to complete. This game cost what, $50 or $60 back in the day? I for one like shorter experiences and this game will always have a place in my heart!
Ooh extra like for showing bad ending!
if the movie streets of fire wasn’t a such a huge blockbuster success in japanese theaters, we would never have gotten final fight, nor streets of rage in the later years to come
The Streets of Rage series are still my favorite games of all time!👍
I still have this in 6-Pak and the sequel. My brother enjoyed playing both a lot.
Gotta love how with a single punch he can destroy an entire phone booth
I’ve listened to the soundtracks for all four games. This is easily the best one. Nothing like clubbing while beating up some bad guys.
I'd edge it out to 2 for me
1 & 2's soundtracks are of equal quality to me. They're both masterpieces. Although, I prefer SoR1's boss theme to SoR2's.
3 is mostly forgettable.
Never even played the 4th one. Let alone listen to the OST.
@@Dorian_Scott 4th isn't bad, and it has some goo tunes. I've played SoRRemake more though
Forgot how good the soundtrack was.
judging by his towering stature and affinity for sitting on a throne, i do believe mr. x (chromosome) is a nephilim.
Simple but effective.
Beat em up games are a genre I have come to like more and more lately and Streets of Rage along with Final Fight were probably among the most famous ones in the nineties.
Played this game a lot with my friends as a kid. Made up backstories that the manual didn't cover for every enemy and character. Never got the bad ending because we always ran out of lives though.
Luckily the city only had three guns otherwise the war with the Syndicate would have been a lot nastier.
My childhood game street of rage Good memories
Genesis chiptiunes be bringing music to my ears. I like how the sound when you pick up health is the same as when Pac-man gobbles fruit. Everybody knows that "omnom" sound
A MEGA DRIVE CLASSIC!
Most of my memories of this game are playing it trashed off whiskey...I must have played it every night for an entire year
lol
Классика игровой индустрии от компании Sega. Многие покупали игровую приставку ради возможности поиграть в эту игру.
Classic. You should do streets of rage remake
I knew of them, but I'd never actually watched the bad endings before. Now I want an SoR game where one of the 3 is the Syndicate leader, and the others have to team up to take them down.
This is but a humble beginning compared to SOR2. Though this is still one of my first arcade like beat 'em ups made for the home console I thoroughly enjoy.
Have you played streets of rage 4? That game is great.
51:44 well i clearly clicked the wrong spot to randomly click on in the video. No Context here lol
That is the first time I have ever seen the clock run out in this game. Also, given how long the time is on this video, I'm not surprised that you cover the bad ending too.
الله ايام زمان
Awesomeness sega game please do more thanks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Music of the game is good. Bad ending is bad. 😮😮😮😮
Do you play on official hardware or emulator?
This is emulated.
@@NintendoComplete Makes sense, considering all the games on the channel and how often you post.
I’m now going to play this song on my Mega Synthesis drum machine.
Telling you man, Alien Soldier for the Genesis is great, check it out!
Yep 😊
I like the newer age non stop beat em ups like devil kings
Kinda wish you would have tried to flip the big fire-breathing guy because if I remember correctly, he just lands on you and kills you lol
I didn't even know you could try to flip him. I use to have the worst time with those fiery eggs.
Is it just me or did the stages have names? I haven't played this in years but I thought I remember round 2 being called "the inner city" for example.
Maybe it was just the North American version of the game?
SEGA!
I have this game
36:34 🤣 did you do tha on Purpose hahaha
ost ammmmm dame
👽
Brazil
I’m gonna be controversial, but I think the only thing that holds up about the first game is the music. The gameplay as far too stiff and slow these days. Two, three, and other beat em up are far better playing games.
Its definitely a great game. I just never cared for the soundtrack.
