Following the success that was the original Streets of Rage, Sega set about developing a sequel that would not only be an excellent fighting game in it's own right, but one that would also prove to Nintendo and their fans that the Mega Drive was equally as capable as the recently released SNES console.
The game begins directly where it's predecessor left off. The evil crime lord Mr. X has been defeated and peace has returned to the city streets. Unfortunately, this was not to last; one year later, it becomes apparent that Mr. X is not dead and now has a personal vendetta against the police officers who defeated him. In an act of revenge, Mr. X kidnaps Adam Hunter and holds him hostage.
Adam's younger brother, Skate, makes contact with Axel Stone and Blaze Fielding, informing them of what has happened and that they are in danger. With the city streets being overrun by gang members and thugs, Axel, Blaze, Skate decide to take the fight to Mr. X and his goons. Also along for the ride is Max Thunder, a friend of Axel and former professional wrestler. Together, they must rescue Adam and defeat Mr. X as they risk their very lives on the Streets of Rage.
With four characters to choose from, there's something that should cater to every player's fighting style. Axel and Blaze occupy the middle ground as all-rounders, whilst Max sacrifices speed an agility for raw power. At the other end of the spectrum is Skate, who lacks power, but possesses the highest speed and reflexes.
SOR 2 does little to deviate from the tried and tested beat 'em up formula, but it would be wrong to say that there is nothing new on offer here. This is a game about evolution rather than revolution, with the developers introducing a range of tweaks, improvements and refinements that would also lay much of the groundwork for the next game in the series, Streets Of Rage 3.
Firstly, the number of moves that each character can execute has been increased, providing more tactical options when fighting opponents. The most significant change here is the introduction of special moves for each fighter, replacing the the original game's one-shot smart bomb attack.The specials can be be used at any time, although a small portion of the player's health will be consumed if they actually hit any enemies. Whilst the amount of energy lost is quite small, over-reliance on the special attacks will leave you on low health if not careful.
The variety of enemies in the game has been increased significantly. As well as lowly thugs, the heroes must fight karate masters, ninjas, kickboxers and much more. Each enemy has their own unique move-set, some of which even include blocks and deflections that guard against your attacks. Each and every enemy in the game is capable of bringing you down if you're not careful, so you must be on your guard at all times; you must work out the best strategy to bring each of the different enemies down as fast as possible, without putting yourself at risk.
The game is undoubtedly one of the most polished in the console's library. Each character has more frames of animation than before and everything scrolls at a silky smooth 50 FPS at all times. SOR 2 offers a level of polish and fluidity typically reserved for dedicated arcade hardware, let alone home consoles.
Yuzo Koshiro is, once again, responsible for creating some truly fantastic in-game music. Although I still prefer the original game's music more, there's no arguing with the fact that SOR 2 sounds excellent. The game also features an extensive range of digital voice samples, most of which are exceptionally clear given the technology available at the time.
Most of importantly, the actual combat is mostly excellent. Punches and kicks connect with a resounding smack, stunning enemies and allowing you to follow up with a combination. Although the original game was good, punching and body-slamming bad guys feels so much more satisfying this time around.
However, I did note that there was a delay imposed on how quickly you could throw punches and follow-up attacks, which meant the fighting didn't always feel as fluid as it could have done. I still feel that Streets Of Rage 3 has the best and most responsive fighting in the series.
Even so, Streets Of Rage 2 most definitely set the template for what was to follow and it's remarkable just how much the developers got right here. Whether it's on the original Mega Drive hardware, Xbox Live Arcade, or any other platform for that matter, Streets Of Rage 2 is an absolute blast and comes highly recommended.

30 years later - nostalgia overload. To all kids playing video games now, I give you this advice:
Just stay a kid as long as possible and enjoy life with your friends. This takes me back before I discovered alcohol and girls. Not to mention having to go to work, pay bills, own a car and a house. Trust me, this will be the best time of your life when you look back at it 30 years later.
Just hearing the music makes me shed a tear.
Good luck boys, don’t say I never told you so.
True....we were so innocent then with little worries about life..this was life itself then.
Alcohol and girls?
To each their own. I am enjoying my life with my beautiful wife and amazing 3 kids.
I have just turned sixty three, and I will never stop playing this game. I'm playing it as I type this.
it's crazy that you were in your 30s when you started playing this
I know right, SOR 2, is a game that I always go back to, And I always play as Max, love it when he gets his hands on a piece of scaffolding.
Honestly, yeah. My bestie and I will be 39 this year. And when we hang out, we sometimes play this game. It's got such fantastic replay value.
This was my favourite game back in the day. CANT believe it was almost 30 years ago now!
I finally beat this game today. best Beat Em Up Game!!!!!!
Really really enjoyed watching this play through. It brought back a lot of awesome childhood memories. Thank you so much for doing this!!!!
I have this game in my hand righ row , its works after 31 years
Wow ❤
Who also remembers “Double Dragon”?
Seriously, some of the best music on Genesis imo, especially the first opening tune with it's kinda sad vibe. Although I think that might actually from SoR1, and that game may in fact have an even better soundtrack if I recall correctly. But this game is still the best beat 'em up on Genesis all round by far, with pretty much every single aspect of it being truly great. If only all games were made to this standard of quality and polish and were as much genuine fun--if only a few more beat 'em on SNES were this good!
Mane I swear dat was my favorite game on sega genesis. My favorite game system
57:00 music is hectic!!
I just ordered a megadrive and this game to play on crt tv .been years since I played it how it was meant to be played.
@25:08 "I can move move move any mountain"!
Lol. Very similar indeed.
The game is full of Eurodance rip offs.
Nice stunlocks haha! One of the best soundtracks ever in this game.
well played!
one of my all time fav games.
This is a blast from the past. I remember loving playing this in 1992 when I was about 14 or 15.lol.
OMG for the longest I thought this game was Street Fighter I was a little kid when I played this with my big bro on his Sega but the soundtrack brought back so much memories. Me and my brother would jam out every time we played
This had some of the best in-play music I can remember for a Sega game. Very memorable tunes.
PS- 30 years later and I'm still trying to figure out what Axel is saying when he uppercuts. 😂
GRAND UPPAH!!!
Mega Paw!
I love how I can tell from the most replayed segment that everyone is here for "How do I fight Russian Bear?"
You didn't collect the hidden life at the beginning.
13:30 another hidden life lost, just behind the truck. ;)
Doing it on hardest on Sega. That was awesome!
Omg such good memories... ❤
(19:47) So *that's* why Contra: Hard Corps uses a border on the left side of the screen when Yokozuna lifts the locomotive.
Very nice Music.
SirAlexXXII some of the best music on the Genesis/Mega Drive, period!
+RockRedGenesis - I invite you both to visit my channel. I've Enhanced these songs by rewriting them from the ground up using the exact same sound modules from the Genesis, but with enhanced instruments and higher fidelity.....plus I've Expanded on each song with entirely new sections to flesh them out and give them more depth. I'd love to hear your opinions.
Thanks i will look.
SirAlexXXII Much appreciated. Hope you enjoy :)
Classics never die!
Both this one and final fight are my favourite ones ever.
The purple glowing villain in the beginning of the game intro looks like number 45.
🇺🇲😎🍔🍟
This game was so good!!! Much better than streets of rage 3... And streets of rage 3 is worth more money. Ridiculous!!!!
SOR will always be the best beat em up game. And it seems that Fight n Rage has reached its height with SOR as well.
Everytime I listen to "Bayside by Obskur", I think of this game.....
Very well played. I was sure you would die against the 2 robots. Thumbs up for Axel!
GRASSSHOPPA!!!!!
I always used to think he was saying "GRAND PA PAAA!!"
stage 6 has fast and the furious music lol
This came before fast and furious
excellent games
I subscribe
oh nostalgia
Sim mt
Grab the paw!!!!
To me it sounds like "wreck the park" 🤷♂️😂
"Where's my pa?" is what I hear tbh.
How did you throw the knife in the beginning?
same button as attack behind , im you from the future
I could never get past Stage 6 on normal mode.
AXEL STONE is the best ❤️❤️❤️ GRAND UPPER!!!!
Gotta put it into the hidden and extremely frenetic "mania" difficulty. Also you missed a ton of free stuff hidden in the foreground.
is very music, came of straight
You are fucking Good!!!!!
Beautiful Electra

I love Electra and I hate Blaze.
Electra's pantyhose is very good!!
6:10 ❤
It's funny how the soundtrack is so respected when its basically a rip off of 90s dance music. That first tune is Good Life by Inner City
Who's ready to play this on their Mega Sg?
oh what a wonderful world we grew up. and not having to play that gxx fortnite shit. that game is pure testosterone compared to todays SJW bs lol
and I remember that satisfying sound of that steel bar hitting the enemies right in the face like it was yesterday haha
Well said. It's a pure alpha game. He's smacking the soy out of his enemies. 😂
Do baseball.
Man, other than the music, this game has basically nothing going for it. It's almost embarrassing that this was released 3 years after Final Fight. Just look at the clumsy ass throwing animations. It's inferior in every way.
Big Blue Frontend not really many people find streets of rage better than final fight.
Forward, Forward B and win. What an overrated game is SoR2.
I'd suggest re-visiting Final Fight. I have a genuine Final Fight arcade cabinet (among several other cabinets) in my house that I love playing with friends regularly. The animations are fairly clunky. It's an amazing game, which is why I paid thousands for it, but I think you're blinded by nostalgia. Comparing a cartridge to a full arcade machine is not apples to apples. And let's not even get started on the SNES port. 2 characters (guy missing), single player, missing levels, horrible framerate, max of 2-3 enemies on screen at once, etc. We won't even talk about Final Fight 2. Final Fight 2 was a complete joke that Capcom would like to forget. Most of the video game industry regards SOR2 as the one of, if not THE finest beat-em-up game of all time.
This actually looks like final fight. Axel is using Cody's animations and some of Hagar's moves. Also those bad guys look very similar to Final Fight ones
Are you really comparing an Arcade machine to a Genesis game?
Forward, Forward B and win. What an overrated game.
shut up
