    Classic Side Scrolling Brawler

    Streets of Rage 2 is one of those rare games that even if you pick it up years later (in my case, replaying it on the Sega Smash Pack for the Dreamcast) it is still a fantastically fun game despite its age.

    As with most 2D games there isn't too much going on here. You have a lot of punching, kicking, jumping, and random food collecting and that's pretty much it. This game and the other games in its class stand out because they are able to pack a lot of different situations into the action that keeps the game interesting. Not to mention co-op is a hell of a blast and very challenging. Get your hands on it.

But hear me out- I really didn't want this.This is my first review and my first desire is to create the impresion of myself as a highly critical games reviewer who isn't easily impressed and always desires more. I want to be seen as a reviewer that aknowledges that is no such thing as 'perfection' and succesfully overcomes nostalgia.T...
