Street of Rage
Streets of Rage (ベアナックル 怒りの鉄拳 Bea Nakkuru: Ikari no Tekken?, "Bare Knuckle: Furious Iron Fist") is an action-adventure video game. At the first time, this game was developed and released by Sega for Mega Drive/Genesis in 1991. Then, Sega released its sequels which were Street of Rage 2 and Street of Rage 3. In 2007, the Wii's virtual console version was released in North Ameria and Europe. Two years later in 2009, the iOS version was available.
The Detail of Information
Gameplay
Street of Rage adapted the same gameplay like Golde Axe which was a beat 'em game that release by Sega two years before Street of Rage was released. In this game, the enemies come into the screen from both sides left and right sides. The player beats them up in order to complete the round. Street of Rage consists of seven rounds and there is a boss in each round. It's not the same with its sequels which have an enemy name. But only the bosses that have name and life gouges.
There are three main characters that you can control namely Axel Stone, Adam Hunter, and Blaze Fielding. Each character has different ability and martial art. Then, you can use the combination attacks to defeat the enemies. In addition, Street of Rage has the feature like in contemporary games which the player can pick up the weapons such as knives, bottles, and drainpipes.
In Streets of Rage, the extraordinary attack has support from a police car, which comes into the screen from the left side and shots explosives, damaging the health from all enemies. The player is supported by one special attack in each life or level and power-ups formed like police cars fulfill another. However, in round 8, this special attack can't be utilized.
PLOT
A criminal syndicate has controlled a peaceful city including the groups of the police. The massive chaoses happen anywhere and there is no one who feels safe to stay in the city. Luckily, there are three ex-police offices who have quit from the force to defeat the criminal syndicate. They are Adam Hunter who is a professional boxer, Axel Stone who masters martial arts, and Blaze Fielding who is a woman and a judo expert. Their ages are below 25 years old.

As I said before, there are three characters that you can use to play with. Different character has different ability and skills. You can choose what you want.
Personal Opinion
I think that Street of Rage has a good plot. The story behinds this game is nice and had been adapted into a movie. Eventhough the movie was not populer, the Street of Rage video game is quite famous at that time. The gameplay that is offered by this game is amazing. You can play with your friend at the same time. Then you can also use the weapon such as drainpipes, knives, and bottles to fight the enemies. In short, I give 9 of 10 for this game. See you in the next post.
