@@jaxondabeastz2046 Streets of Rage 1, 2, and 3 were co-op games as well but were also enjoyable as a solo experience. It isn't unfair for people to expect the same from the 4th entry.
@Tig Bitties I've unlocked all the retro characters as well. Doesn't change that I believe the game is unbalanced for solo play. The bosses especially if you pick one of the characters who don't deal a lot of damage just become a chore to fight. They wouldn't really be an issue by themselves but when they call in reinforcements and the screen is filled with regular goons and a damage sponge boss, yeah lets just say that isn't something designed for a solo experience.
@Tig Bitties It is actually nice to see a game where the characters have different strengths and weaknesses but I feel as if you are missing my point a little. Some of those bosses are a chore when you play solo, yet you can play the co-op with two low strength characters, Cherry and Skate for example, and the same boss will almost be easy. It's not because of the damage increase but because of the fact that there are now two of you. The game is designed around co-op first with little concession to the solo player.
@@CHOUSASUKE I think it's better than 4 due to the sheer amount of unlockables and replay value. 4 possible routes and multiple endings. I played 4 last night but don't think it lives up to Remake.
I was hoping that they would let the players decide if the game is in retro or modern style. Should be selectable in the menu. Not just the sprites for the players, but for the whole game. That would be dope.
@@bonelesspizza7575 I got the Limited Run physical release of River City Girls and it's awesome and the music is fantastic. The Takeover on Steam is pretty up there too as is Fight' N Rage ...It doesn't get better than SOR4 in the genre.
People that didn't play it back then they can have a taste of it, but they will never get the same feeling that we did when we played it back then when that graphic was the best thing ever lol.
@@PD-ek3cu Speak for yourself. I'm a massive fan of side scrolling beat-em-ups and while I will admit that they could have done a little more to advance the game mechanically, I still thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was (especially more than Streets of rage 3. that game left a really bad taste in my mouth) and as a kid i've always wanted a 4th game. I'll take what I can get with this under-rated genre. it's a change of pace from all the shooters and RPGs that seem to be plaguing the videogame industry.
Mr.X final battle was difficult at times, avoiding his bullets was hard and he did take a chunk of your HP if he hits you with the gun itself. But Zamza was always a lot tougher, especially when he would counter most of your jump attacks. I could only ever defeat him on hard mode with Skate and Blaze, using their backflip moves. Great game, would love to see a full stage from the classics remade in the art style of this one.
I have two questions... 1. Do you get to play the retro levels leading up the boss or just the bosses? 2. Once unlocked, can you access them at any time from the menu or do you have to go through that process every time to reach it?
1. It’s just the bosses 2. In order to reach them you would need to travel a ways in the stage to get to the retro arcade. Which would make sense why when you do reach the arcade you just straight up fight the boss. But you don’t have to go through all of story mode you can choose which boss you want to fight with the stage select.
Thank you for *spoiling that there are retro levels,* IGN. I was casually scrolling through the list of videos, minding my own business, and then WHAM. Ugh. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people who want to discover these surprises on their own while playing. You might consider changing the title of this video. Game hadn't been out a day when you posted this.
Yes, and the Retro music after the first level is a mess. They play boss music during regular levels and vice versa. And ending credit music during a level. Some of the stuff they they did had to have been on purpose so they had stuff to fix or something. I do really like the game over all though. Just needs a few fixes.
@Ddd Bbb I missed the special weapon moves. they could also have placed firearms. Anyway the characters in streets of rage 3 were very strong. they weakened.
@@Seburo77 agree with your man mark. Clean eight. Would have loved more classic enemies/bosses the fast ninjas where like the shadows i liked that. Wheres them ginger madmen juggling fire from sor1. Did love this game though. Where was bear the boxer? With his muschache and cone head 🤣👌🏼 never knew about these levels until an online player randomly zapped a machine. 👐🙃
Oh, I wondered what happenend when on my third play through I ended up in that back alley on Police Precinct lol. I thought it was a bug because when I tried again I couldn't repeat getting there :p. Haha, ah well, now I know!
Wait a minute Jack is definitely not the boss of level one in streets of rage 2. I don't remember his name but I know for sure that the boss in the 1st level is the guy you fight after leaving the bar. That's when you go back outside its raining now the music changes and there's 2 trash cans in the corner with chickens in them that your hoping your brother doesn't eat both of them....

The trick is to keep those biker chicks from headbutting the arcade. If you stay at the bottom of the screen, you can usually keep the arcade from getting destroyed. You just may take more damage, because you can't move around as much. Whatever you do, don't accidentally throw an object at the arcade.

this game really miss some new moves like running, evade or blocking.

Cherry can run, and has extra moves that can be done while running.
And one character you unlock partway through has a dash.
Don’t forget roll
Taking off points just for removing the running and rolling alone.
@Ddd Bbb
I missed the special weapon moves. they could also have placed firearms.
Anyway
the characters in streets of rage 3 were very strong. they weakened.
And IGN gave this a 7? Wtf 🤦♂️ this is easily atleast an 8.5
No its 10/10 the must buy game of 2020
To me it’s a clean 9 for a retro beat em’ up, but a 10/10 in the SoR series.

I know right? The track from level 1 of the first game is still one of my all-time favorite video game tracks.
Brandon Soto just download the sega collection. All three previous games are playable in their entirety
Those scanlines are gorgeous! There should be an option to enable them for all levels.
There is, actually, and it pixelates the main game too

Can this be adjusted in the graphics option? I'd like to play the whole game in this style.
You can, there’s a Retro and a Retro CRT filter that makes the main game look like that
Does someone know where is this catchy BGM from? I could not find it on the OST. Thanks!
How do you get the bonus characters and the CRT filter?
once you play these retro stages are they permanently unlocked ?
Anyone knows what track plays at 1:40?
Does this work if you're playing with friends?
And will there be a hidden star for all of us to grab?
Yes it'll work with friends, but only one star drops.
