Streets Of Rage
from The Retrograde: A Video Game Podcast · host Andrew Bascom and Mikey Ehrenworth
This week we get angsty with a look back at one of the grandfathers of the beat-em-up: it's Streets of Rage! We put the entire franchise under review in this episode as we rate our experience with the first 3 game, and see how they hold up next to the newly released Streets of Rage 4! Does this entry over 25 years in the making return the franchise to its former glory, or it just a new coat of paint hide a rusty joyride? We also choose which weapon we'd use if we were drafted into a beat-em-up, and rank our favourite side-scrolling characters of all time!
