I forgot how classically amazing this beat em up is. Playing on my Raspberry Pi and enjoy it very much. I'm a huge fan of Final Fight. It was released in 1991 on SNES. Streets of Rage also came out in 1991. Both games are pioneers in the beat em up genre and there are things I like from each. …
I forgot how classically amazing this beat em up is. Playing on my Raspberry Pi and enjoy it very much. I'm a huge fan of Final Fight. It was released in 1991 on SNES. Streets of Rage also came out in 1991. Both games are pioneers in the beat em up genre and there are things I like from each. Graphically Final Fight looks better and has larger more detailed sprites. Also I like the health meter for all enemies, not just bosses. There are a wider range of moves in FF. Your character can attack in 360 degrees clearing enemies from both sides. There's a drawback for this in which a small part of your health is deducted. Also your character can throw or pile drive enemies into other enemies which I find perfect for rearrangement of foes and managing where they are on the screen.
Now on to Streets of Rage. Bosses seem more difficult but with a shorter amount of health...if that makes sense. I like the "calling in your cop buddies" option, which can be used once per stage. It takes a lot out of bosses and clears a screen full of enemies. I haven't completed the game yet but will write a detailed review upon completion.
Overall I love the game and have become hooked right away. I must've missed this title growing up as my brother and I played nintendo exclusively. Only later in life did I buy a second hand genesis (with only SoR 2 and 3).
I also have SoR 2 and 3 downloaded along with FF 1, 2 and 3. There are lots of beat em ups to conquer in my future.
