"No such thing as a Bad Streets of Rage Game"
That is the perfect disclaimer :D
Yeah, I’m so excited for streets of rage 5
Streets of Rage 2 The King Beat em UP.
Streets 4 is better in every way.
@@tetermcyou must be young
@@stufeiner74524 is better and this coming from someone who played both 1 and 2 when they first came out.
@@tetermctrue
@@tetermcI liked 2 the best. You had a lot of variety with the way you played. You could play your characters that were supposed to combo or your bigger slow characters that would get big hits off, the music was on point. I’d listen to the streets of rage 2 music without the game, and the bosses were iconic. Very memorable
As someone old enough to play the originals when they came out, I agree with the order but I do think 2 has the best soundtrack. Great vid.
What's interesting about Streets of Rage 4 is that the game, even today stills get regular updates. Also, the soundtrack is brilliant. My favorite tracks from SOR 4 is Chow Time, On Fire, and We're Back.
I heard the first tunes of the main theme and knew instantly that it would be good
My favorite tracks from SoR4 are the retro tracks
@@CaptainSlapaDomeindeed. SoR 4 is utter trash. They new tracks suck and don't set the mood for anything, the retro characters havent gotten updated moves like in SoR remake, the level design is TERRIBLE, the monster immunity thing is a misfire, you can't run, there are no alternative routes to the end goal (even 3 had that to some extent), oh and the elevator level is a MASSIVE disappointment.
@@user-fr1ys2wn4tagreed
@@user-fr1ys2wn4t It's just a updated version of SOR2. Honestly I wanted to see the game progress into something further and not make think I'm back in 1994
the thing i dont like about 1 2 and 4 is that you can't RUN. that's the only thing i dont like about the games. WHY TF ARE THEY LITERALLY JUST WALKING?? 🤦♂️
Streets of Rage II will always be my favourite of the series. The worst out of the series is definitely Streets of Rage III.
Streets of Rage II
Streets of Rage
Streets of Rage 4
Streets of Rage 3
I like the extra difficulty in Streets of Rage 3. Also like the better controls and more interaction. Only reason people who actually played Streets of Rage 3 hated on the game was because of the added difficulty and the music, which was really good also.
it doesnt feel as good thats really it street of rage 2 is a whole experience in itself sor3 felt pretty generic at the time
@@timboKong Streets of Rage 2 is overrated. Both 1 and 3 are equally great games. The jp version of 3 more so than the crappy us version.
that's it! SOR3 is the best of them all, and the experimental acid techno is so futuristic that people back in the days though it was dogshit but now people discovering this soundtrack are mind blown by it! And the difficulty fits so perfectly with the story and the music. Right off the bat, the first level on hard difficulty in the USA version is sick, with intense music, you have to go defuse a bomb and there is no time to f around! The game is throwing at you everything it got...the enemies are relenteless! I just love that game to death (obviously haha)
The music in that game was good but the problem was that they kept repeating the stage 1 theme like it was some kind of master piece for example when you fight shiva on one of the endings, what track does the game play? The stage 1 theme I mean I would’ve rather them reuse shivas theme from SOR2 if anything
sor3 is def a banger of a beat em up, but sadly the levels weren't a good as sor2 (combat arenas in sor 2 were kinda perfection though, even for today's standards) and the game wen't a little too far in the story department (of which was weird as fuck aswell with the whole robots thing).
The soundtrack was honestly limited for it's console. At the time i realy hated the ost, but with time i got to listen to techno and trance music in something less limited than the genesis chip, and even sor 4 shows that the genre is right at home with sor, the problem was the genesis soundchip. I'd love to listen a remake of the sor3 ost with a more robust soundscape, specially considering shit like tekken 6 electric fountain and sor4 chow time being some of the best stuff electronic music has ever graced my ears.
12:55 Do *_not_* turn on the retro soundtrack. The majority of the songs are haphazardly placed, and they even had the nerve to add in some Sega Master system songs! Who was the genius behind that one?!
SOR2 SoundTrack is my Favorite 16 Bit SoundTrack of All Time and one of the Greatest SoundTrack in Music History
SoR seems like a NES Game??? You didn't play It then. It blow our mind in 90s. And not an amazing soundtrack????? XDDDD
With SoR2 are the BEST OST of 16 bits era
2 things 1st I would swap 1 and 3 imo I think they went over the top especially with the multiple endings, 2nd the bar under the "OK" is basically a freebie to use any special that cost health but if you use it while the bar goes back up you can still lose health using it
Played Streets of Rage 1 when I was younger and I honestly forgot about the series until they realised the trailer for SOR 4. Was so excited when I got it on PC and I feel in love with the game. Still wished they included some form dogde mechanic but great game all in all.
I discovered streets of rage 3 at a fleamarket and got it for 8$ back in the 90s. Still own it to this day that and 1-2. Hands down 3 is the best no questions asked.
Agreed. Do you play on ps4 or 5?
Love the commentary!.
Imo I actually far prefer sor1 over sor3. Sor3's music and the tedious gameplay really killed it for me. I took the time to beat sor3, but I definitly wouldn't play it again.
Did u get all the endings? That alone made me not wanna attempt to beat it.
SOR 3 was a disappointment and while the music is divisive, I actually like it, although it’s nowhere near the level of SOR 2 or the first game.
Same i prefer sor 1 over sor 3 the same way i prefer street of rage remake over street of rage 4
@@sebastienluquet194 Remake sits at the very top. Classic.
I need to play these games, but are u going to do anything on the golden axe games
Take that as a very good yes, lol. Well consider those games requested
I don't know if you have played it but you may like a video game called The Takeover. It plays just like a Streets of Rage game.
why oh why oh why is there no online co-op for that game. Also, Mayhem Brawler is pretty good too. but again, no online co-op for it.
@@DaveMire I'm bummed out that Fight N'Rage doesn't support online too.
I play that on shareplay with friends online
The view on STOR 1 is undervalued. The game was ground breaking and amazing with arguably the best soundtrack of all the games. STOR 2 is the pinnacle game hands down. 4 is great but 2 is still the best.
A shoutout to SOR Remake, an open source project that kept the Spirit of this series alive all those years!
SOR1 is the 🐐
Streets of Rage Remake is the best Streets of Rage game.
Easily
Definitely
I can fight for days on survival, Streets of Rage 4
I utterly agree with this list! Though I never heard of the spin-off that look like a fan game… And you made all the points I hoped you made regarding each regional history! Especially as someone newer to this franchise. Glad you really played them through, and understood why they define the beat em up genre. I still think SOR2 had the best soundtrack in the series, but Streets of Rage 4 is FANTASTIC. Especially for a return to form. It has it all, and had meaningful refinements. As a long time fan myself, I was very happy with the 4th entry. I can confidently say it lived up to desired expectations. I wished we can have Streets of Rage Remake release for consoles, because don’t get me started how incredible that fan game is. I’m looking forward to TMNT Shredder’s Revenge.
I know this comment is 3 months old and you might know this now but that spin-off was a free game released by sega to celebrate 60 years of sega. it was on steam in 2020 but it was only listed for a few weeks and was eventually delisted hence why you've never heard of it
@@LetTomTalk Ah okay. Thanks for the history.
Awesome video
For some reason i think Street of Rage 3 was best among the series. It was fast it was challenging though its ost and character design wasn’t up to mark.
The first streets of rage is better than the third one. In fact if I had played the third one first when I was a kid, zI wouldn't have became a fan
1 is my favorite, despite it's cheese and jank. I just find it funnest and it has the best soundtrack imo.
Now we need Golden Axe 4 please!
IMO Bare Knuckle 3 is the #2 and then SOR4. I know you weren't doing fangames but SOR Remake is awesome
Streets of rage, TMNT, final fight and double dragon r the big four of beat em ups. I love all them so much.
SoR 2 is one of the best games on Sega, and one of the best games ever made.
I remember renting SoR 3 from the video store and to this day, remember how hard that game was in comparison to 2
I really like Streets of Rage 1 , 2 & 3 so much. 😊😂 Funny moments when your character or others keeps getting hit all the time. Hahaha. Can't stop laughing about the hit and music sound effects. 😂
When you say how Street of Rage 3 difficulty is too hard, that's not how it was in Bare Knuckle 3 (japanese/original version). The US dev tweak the difficulty to the level where it became unbalance. Hard level impossible to be dealt with unless the player is a super 🤣
Plus the original version of SOR3 hasn't been correctly ported to the newer consoles. The sega genesis collection removed items and made enemies more difficult.
No existe un SOR malo,todos han sido excelentes..
viewtuful joe is one of my favorite games of all time you think ill like this? also is it way harder than vj?
I grew up when 2 was the shit. And nowadays...I prefer 3...even though I think 2 has better controls.. the addition of special attack not killing you.
Puts 3 over the top for me.
Good review man. I like your videos.
Streets of Rage 2 is my favorite game of all time
How did you fail to mention, in the first game about the Yakuza, that everyone plays like Axel under the flaws section?
SOR 3 is quite played it mania excellent
The ninja turtles game is really good made by the same developers
False
I do prefer Bare Knuckle 3, 'cause it brought me one of the best playable characters: I just have loved played with bionic grandpa Zan. The old cyborg rules, yeah!
Streets of Rage 1 lives up to its name with the bosses and the jugglers. Like Sonic 1, the controls are horrific and sluggish, the mechanics are inconsistent, and it was clearly made in the quarter era where games are made hard to generate revenue.
Castle Crashers is another very good beat em up.
Sor 3 had a lot of levels vut they were behind requirements to unlock 3 different endings
All SORs should be played in order to appreciate SOR2 especially SOR1 which should not be skipped, if anything SOR3 could be skipped
Bricks
Love Streets of Rage!! 2 is OG!!
Definitely going to look into 4, it looks really good!!
As someone who owned Streets of Rage 2 back in 1992 back on release day; it undoubtedly is the best in the series for both gameplay and soundtrack with possibly the greatest boss theme ever with "Never Return Alive".
Streets of Rage 3, yes we know exactly why that suffered for its American & EU release but gameplay was an evolution of SOR2 and I loved the level design. However the soundtrack was awful.
I have played SOR4 into the ground considering I had initial doubts about it when it was announced and Cherry Hunter is possibly the best character in the entire series.
3 is the best both in gameplay and versatility of characters. They can sprint, roll up or down, special has meter for free damage, and apecial skills gets better in each stages if not dying.
Street 4 is a disappointment.
Sor3 is sooo underrated
I wish sor4 was more like it with running, non linear plot ans absolutely crazy music
I actually appreciate the soundtrack for Streets of rage 4, because of how dynamic it is.
I recall running in the fourth game…
It’s underrated for a reason they botched the localisation of SOR 3 with that difficulty spike and overall it’s a step down from SOR 2.
@@delaceylehane7758with one character
I was lucky enough to have Bare Knuckle 3; so to me, the complains everyone in the US has about SOR3 are understandable, but it sounds like Bare Knuckle 3 was a tremendously better game than sor3 in the states.
This is my ranking:
4. SoR 3
3. SoR
2. SoR 4
1. SoR 2
I hope we will get a Streets of Rage 5, 4 was so awsome
Well, looks like you'll get your wish

4.SOR1
so ppl don't like 3rd game cuz of botched western release. I played japanese original first and i think it's better than 2, just objectively, more moves and characters and stuff, while core gameplay is the same.
I don't care about the changes on the releases because I think Bare Knuckle 3 isn't great either. I think the new character sprites aren't nearly as good and I hate what they did to the combat. They sped it up and botched the sound effects. The combat always feels unfinished compared to 2 as if it was rushed. And all the voices are pretty terrible in comparison as well. I'm not sure how all this happened when they added an 8 extra 8megs.
Same here. I grew up playing Bare Knuckle 3, SOR1 and 2. 3 definitely has the best gameplay of the first 3. Running is a must as well 💪
If i had to rate these games based on soundtrack id say sor3 is the weakest. Sor 2 is the greatest. Sor 1 and sor 4 is a gamble for spot 2 and 3 lol. But all n all i have a great love for sor 2 3 and 4 soundtrack. Sor 3 has a few good tracks that i still listening to
Especial mencion to street of rage remake !
Gekido is the best out of every bet up bad guy game I played
Bare Knuckle III would be the best game by far only if it wasn't that easy.
You can finish that game on hardest level without any skill whatsoever, just by mashing buttons.
Great game, but lack of challenge kills it.
Sor3 is the best in the series
@@raidenrbs I agree 🙂
@@raidenrbsagreed
Sad thing is that there aren't any original ports of sor3 unless you own the sega genesis version..
The collection on the ps4 stripped stuff from the entire series
@@Tiripsroirrawhow?
I would put 2 soundtrack as the best of all 4
I still think some OpenBOR games and the Streets of Rage remake are better than all of them. Streets of Rage 2X is amazing and is still getting updated by f-games, it has bigger, better combos, special moves, supers, blocking, dodging, counters, branching paths. Streets of Rage remake v5.2 also is great and closest to the classic experience, with all characters from all 3 games and some extra ones too, you can even play as Mr. X.
Talking about official beat em ups, in terms of combos and gameplay, Fignt N Rage is the best one, its way better than the new TMNT game and Streets of rage 4, although it deviates from the classic, simplistic button mashing experience. The amount of insane combos and things you can pull of is amazing, it even has a nice parrying system. I don't think that game gets enough credit it deserves. I believe a lot of people don't even know about that game.
I do too.
Number one should be the first Streets of rage which started everything!
What about the Master system editions :)
#1 STREETS OF RAGE REMAKE AND STREETS OF RAGE X
Streets of Rage 2 being the best with Streets of Rage 4 being the second best with the 1st game and 3rd game being my least favourite mainly because of the ridiculous difficulty, never played the camaracha spin off and I hope Sega releases this on the Switch.
The original streets of rage 1 was the best
Streets of rage 3 america version is harder then sor2 mania and sor4 mania+ combined.
Sor1 has the best ost
Original games:
Streets of Rage → fantastic game, unforgettable soundtracks and scenarios;
Streets of Rage 2 → a good game, good soundtracks and scenarios, but slow game;
Streets of Rage 3/Bare Knuckle III → the most misunderstood but with one of the best gameplay;
Streets of Rage 4 → What is this thing? Cartoon? My personal opinion, I didn't like anything about this game
fan games:
Streets of Rage Remake → a masterpiece without a doubt;
Streets of Rage X (or 2X) → another masterpiece by fans.
Hacks that if you not played you need to play:
Streets of Rage Killer Difficulty → if you like a real challenge, perfect for you;
Streets of Rage 2 Warriors of Fate 1000 Mans → quite challenging game with enemies that doesn't seem to end;
Streets of Rage 2 Ninja Warriors Once Again
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Streets of Rage Project;
The Punisher in the Streets of Rage;
Streets of Rage 2 - Street Fighter Version 1 (Dhalsim/Ryu/Guile/Ken)

Why do I hear Mystic Ruins?
1, 2, 3, 4.
Streets of rage 1 does not feel like a nes beat em up. What an utterly stupid thing to say.
i dont agree with soundtrack for me the SOR1 is the best of the series
Where's bare knucle mobile?
Yeah
There was fan made remake, that was better them all. 4 was good once unlock classic axl but music sucked
Sor4 music shits on all the others and it's not close. Nostalgia goggles.

Aí vai de opinião, eu já acho Streets of Rage 1 bem melhor q o Streets of Rage 3 e a trilha sonora do 3 é uma decepção já a trilha sonora do 1 é tão boa quanto a do 2 e no fato de ser desafiador é o mais desafiador dos 3, mas é apenas minha opinião
I got part 1 over sor3 plus you haven't played it as a kid
no 8 bit?
Sor 4 music is good but not better than 1 or 2
For me 2, 4, 1 then 3. Streets 4 up there with 2 but 2 is still the best one. Music wise 1&2 equally decent 4 music not bad but not on the same level. 3 the weakest
The 4 is the best
Exactly this.

Shout out to Streets Of Rage Remake ✌ It' gold Jerry, GOLD! 🏆
For me, streets of rage 3 is the weakest game in the entire series for quite a few reasons. For one, the American version is ridiculously censored. On top of that, it's heavily modified, including the story; And to make matters worse, we got screwed over because our version of the game is harder so that we don't beat it in the span of a rental weekend. My absolute least favorite thing about the game, though, is the soundtrack. I get that they were trying to be experimental, but those experiments were not very successful.
Agree with this ranking. That said, there were actually official versions of Streets of Rage 1 and 2 for Sega Game Gear and Sega Master System, respectively. None of these are quite as good as the Genesis SOR2, though SOR2 for Game Gear is very good, and I personally rank it above SOR1 and SOR3 for Genesis. In an unusual turn, the Game Gear and Master System versions are actually completely different from one another too, with the Game Gear versions being significantly better than the Master System versions. They've even got some unique content that's not in the Genesis games, like a crazy alien boss in level 3 of SOR2 for Game Gear.
Best character in each game?
Though I’ve always been an Axel player, in 1, 4, and Remake, I’ve got to give it to Adam. Far and away the best

Sorry but for me, SoR 2 is the absolute King
Streets of rage 3 is better than streets of rage 2 cuz streets of rage 3 is the best game in the whole franchise.
I disagree with the list. Streets of Rage original game was far better than the 3rd game. It may not have looked as good, but the soundtrack was superior to any of the games.
In my opinion:
1st: Streets of Rage 4 (DLC), SoR2 but better.
2nd: Streets of Rage 2, enough said.
3rd: Streets of Rage 1, although I have a hard time playing as Adam due to being slow, this game is fast-pace with adrenaline tactics when done right.
4th: Streets of Rage 3 (Japan) because all boss fights in this game are very disappointing.
Stopped watching when you said “You could probably skip Streets of Rage 1”
Streets of Rage 1 is the only one that let you summon cop cars for help. That alone, along with the serious looking sprites (that I personally prefer over the later games) makes it a must-play.
Just because of some random cop car in the animation? How random.
@@tetermc You can be a conformist all you want but let people have their opinions. I prefer Streets of Rage 1 and 3’s gameplay, and I do feel SoR2 is very overrated. I also prefer Double Dragon 3 over Double Dragon 2 on the NES, cos that’s the first Double Dragon I ever played.
Your opinion and preference, but that doesn't mean other people can't criticize it since you posted it in a public forum, lol. I abhorrently disagree with it. SOR2 is easily better than SOR1 in basically every regard: graphics, gameplay, replay value, mechanics, depth, etc. SOR1 is a very basic beat em up with good music. SOR2 improved upon it by leaps and bounds, you're just being a contrarian for the heck of it to call it "overrated" and to prefer SOR1's gameplay to it.
And I shall stand by what I believe in. Streets of Rage 2 is not some sort of magical “best one” in the series. Both 1 and 3 are ALSO great games. 3 (atleast the Japanese version, which I’m sure you haven’t played jackass), has better, faster gameplay of all 3. You can swallow a carrot if you think I’m being a contrarian, cos you sound like the very definition of an internet conformist. “Every body else said its the best one so it must be the one”. Yeah, right.
@@takeshinakamura4543 Lmao, you're talking to someone who has literally been playing SOR since 1991 man, i GREW UP playing ALL of the games religiously, and yes i've played the japanese version of SOR3, it's barely better than the american version, the biggest differences are that it's much easier, the story is different, and the characters wear their original colors, but it still has the same ear grating soundtrack. It definitely made gameplay advances over SOR2 with it's running, upward and downward dodges, and special meter, but i still prefer the overall aesthetic, music, and look of SOR2.
If you want to argue SOR3 is better from a gameplay perspecive then sure, i won't argue that. But SOR1 being better from a gameplay perspective is laughable and absurd. Like i said you clearly are upset that so many people like SOR2 so you've gone out of your way to come to the absurd conclusion that it's "overrated", you don't like it SIMPLY because so many other people do. My opinion of SOR2 isn't influenced by what other people think, i knew the game was amazing from the first time me and my little brother played it as kids, the game has EARNED it's reputation. You being some zoomer contrarian doesn't change that fact.
I'm confused when you said that the music is better in Bare Knuckle III at 7:44. The music is exactly the same in both versions.
Also for my ranking. SOR4 > BKIII > SOR2 > SOR3 > SOR1.
Streets of Rage 2 graphics and sound FX are far better than 3. Three is like a downgrade. The shading is so smooth in 2. 3 looks rough and granulated with some awful cheap purples and greens. The Music grew on me but 2 is still better. only thing 3 has better is some larger sprites.
@@BobBob-tt5po Yes but I mean the bad guys are generally slightly bigger in 3 but not by much.
3 has a darker and less human look to it; more bleak some people say. There’s some really cool documentaries of the series worth watching. Gameplay of 3 was something I found more fun than 2 due to some additions that went with.
All in all, there’s no bad SOR/Bare Knuckle game :)
It's funny to me, every ranking game video these TH-camrs start by saying, I never play this game before and then start ranking that game exactly the way Google would rank a game by collecting all player base like and dislike ratio,,
This video exactly like the usually uninterested TH-camr talking about something that he has no interest in other them using the fan base of that game for content, dude just keep saying I like this game but can't explain why I like it or why it's batter then others, and the reason basically is this guy never played SOR before making this video, and just using the game for content which I fucking hate, you can't even tell why SOR 2 is batter then 3, and the most hilarious part is that SOR 3 is harder then SOR 2 😂,
now this is where OG Sega player will tell you that you guys suck on playing games, because Sega normal games were more challenging then now days soul games
My music tier list
1. Sor 1 / sor4
2. Sor 2
3. Sor3 almost rivals with sor 2
As a whole
1. Sor4 banger ost, gameplay so clean it becomes dirtyyyy.
2. Sor 3 the gameplay alone of this game and variety makes it fun to replay and its challenging sadly not many good songs but i find that even the meh ones at least fit the stages with the dark atmosphere
3. Sor 1 simple but good fast combat with the best ost along with 4.
4. Sor2 im unable to play this game alone
I get bored to death from how slow it is and the music doesnt help at all.
Only a handful are good tracks but also some of the good ones dont fit a fighting game.
Coop wise this is top tier with the rest of the series 👌
Agree completely.
As for the music: First game easily the best soundtrack. 2 was revolutionary, and was perfect to kick-arse to, but the first games tracks are so much more pleasing. You can actually nod your head to them. 2 and 3 are just intense. Again, it suits the game, but in terms of catchier tunes first game all the way.
I also agree third game technically plays better than 2. I think the poor response came from how similar it was to SOR 2, the weaker soundtrack, and the changes in the western localisation.
Hands down best way to play the game is SORremake. New version released recently. Includes the movesets from the fourth game
