X is here to see the city crumble! Now, with the help of Skate, Adam's brother, you feel impelled to save Adam. Adam, from the original SOR, has been kidnapped, and Blaze informs Axel that it could be the Syndicate! Back again are this evil group to take over the city and a new recharged Mr. The storyline keeps you just as involved. This part stays quite loyal to the Genesis, and you can see the purposefully used levels that repeat bosses. Thank goodness, or else bosses would have been utterly worthless and as annoying as the enemies throughout the levels. Bosses grew out of their boring stage into mini-bosses and huge end of level bosses.
But those too are missing some, as the levels in the game have been taken from 8 to 5, just as in the original SOR port. But surprisingly, almost all the destructible objects are present, as well mini-bosses. Unlike the Genesis, where there was a severe sense of speed and strength. This is a big disappointment with already lacking character sprites and other nice graphics. Every character essentially looks and feels the same. As an added bonus however, special moves no longer require health. Though faster could be better, this makes it frantic, confusing. Even more harsh is the fact that to keep game-play alive they made it faster. This sometimes stings the game-play, as if they felt, to make up for fewer enemies, they had to make them impossible to defeat. The enemies are all still there, surprisingly enough, but lack names and fewer of them. Some of the weapons are gone, life bars don't exist on 90% of enemies (thanks to smaller screen), and levels are shortened and entirely flat, giving a lot less depth to the game. Not all the complex maneuvers found in the home version of this game are there, and it really makes the game as a beat'em'up feel lacking.
The game-play feels a bit awkward at times, jumping from such a grand scale to a few simple moves. The run of the mill is exactly the problem, for such an amazing game and hyped port, this was, as I said, a disappointment. Less Characters, Less Options, and Less Room! Everything about the run of the mill beat'em'up is still here, with a few exceptions. Three simple statements can sum up this game.
SEGA STREETS OF RAGE 2 ROM PORTABLE
This feature-rich title on Genesis turns into a watered-down portable in a disappointing way. A big step up from the original Streets of Rage, even if it's a step down from the consoles.
