My favorite game is Streets of Rage 2. I grew up with a sega genisis and this was one of the first beat em ups I owned. I couldnt tell you how many times I beat this game. I played religiously as a kid. Not to mention the hundreds of times i played it with my cousin. It was like our go to game when he came over or when i brought it to his house.

All the characters are amazing. The gameplay is perfect. In my opinion it was the most polished beat em up of all time. The move list was not long but was satisfying.

The music was by far the best music in any beat em up. I could just sit and listen to the music over and over again. The bosses were genius.

Pretty much everything about this game is amazing. I could literally write a novel about this game lol. I still play it till this day. I would recommend this game to anyone. You are crazy if you dont try it. lol
