Like most beat-’em-ups, Streets of Rage is more
fun with two players – but many a friendship swiftly
turned sour during the final confrontation with Mr
X. If one of the players accepts his offer to become
his right hand man/woman and the other declines,
the former pals square off in a fight to the death.CLASSIC MOMENT
The final penthouse boss rush could be a little too
arduous, so we’ve plumped for the penultimate stage- a cramped and claustrophobic ascent aboard an
external elevator. With increasingly populous waves
of enemies jumping into the fray, you needed all your
crowd control skills to survive.
CLASSIC LEVEL
01 Seriously, who fights with a
boomerang? Especially given that he
must be touching seven feet tall.
02 While Axel and Blaze would both
return in Streets of Rage 2, Adam
managed to get himself
kidnapped, the big dummy.
