I was 8 in 1992- I couldn't stop listening to the music. we had the model 1 with the headphone port & I would be up allllllll nigh just jamming🙌🏿
This game.
"Greatest Sega game ever" I wouldn't argue. I was 13 when it was released, I'm now 40, and to this day, I still have my Megadrive, and still play this game every once in a while.
When that boss music kicked in.... It's so badass!
I'm one of those people who say that Streets of Rage 2 is my favorite game ever, for many of the reasons you go over. I think what sets it apart from everything, particularly beat 'em ups, is its accessibility. Double Dragon, Final Fight and the first SoR all made it a point to punish you - even on the base difficulty. SoR 2 isn't like that. SoR 2 is fair. If you died you could easily learn from your mistakes and become better. Effective use of the move set was key, but pulling off moves wasn't hard to learn or too difficult to master. I think that is what gets over looked a lot in why this game is so great - it's a game that can be enjoyed by everyone, in a genre that had been traditionally been designed to hate you. Great video Top Hat.
I play this so much when i was a kid.I miss that time.The sound and music are amazing still in my memory even today.
I will always remember the impact this game had on me FOREVER! My older brother and I strangely never got to play SOR1 at the time before it's sequel's release. We always heard of it's greatness, but we never could rent it and none of our friends had it either!
I will never tire of hearing the tale of this legendary game.
SoR2 stands the test of time sooo well. So fun to play still and remains the king of scrolling beat 'em ups. Its soundtrack perfectly fits those environments...
Streets of Rage 2 is one of the few games that I would occasionally dust off my Genesis for, all the way into the 2010s.
This was the pack in game that came with my Sega Genesis back in the day: I spent so many nights after school replaying this. If Max isn't in SOR 4, we riot.
This game is responsible for me becoming a music producer
The SOR series is hands down my favorite beat 'em up series of all time. I got into music production because of the music in the games! I technically started playing SOR3 first, and it has a special place in my heart, then played SOR2 then the first one. And I love all three of them, graphics modernization aside. Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima even did a Red Bull Music Academy concert out here in LA a few years ago, playing all the SOR tunes, it was epic! These guys motivated me into taking music production seriously.
I swear SEGA always had the catchiest tunes in their games.
SoR2 is Sega's the greatest game, hands down. From the characters' unique move sets, the gameplay, to the soundtrack none has been better. I'm still playing it in 2020.
This game has an amazing ost.
This has definitely been one of my favorite games ever since I was a child and it still is to this day. By the way, you left out mentioning the sub-boss Shiva, who was a nightmare to fight.
I'm one of those people whose favourite game of all-time it is. GENIUS-LEVEL graphics, music, sound design and gameplay
I found your channel after you very kindly answered alot of questions in a facebook forum. I was humbled how open and honest you were and i congratulate you on making YT a full time career. Very cool content.
I agree! Greatest SEGA game ever!!! I use to go into the options screen just to listen to the soundtracks. That music still moves me. Just like the the progression of the stages tell a story, so does the music as you go through it.
