Publisher: Sega
Released: 1994
Streets of Rage 3 is a beat-em-up and the direct sequel to Streets of Rage 2 (1992, Sega Genesis).
+ Inclusion of cut-scenes engrosses you into the story, and there's multiple endings depending on how you play.
+ 24 MEG cartridge results in outstanding graphics and detailed backgrounds (notably Stage 2's shark tank behind the bar!).
- Difficulty is dramatically increased from the Japanese version and the swarming enemies are ruthlessly aggressive.
- Bosses are an absolute chore, with many of the battles taking an age to conclude due to their huge life bars.
- Locales are uninspired (with many reused ideas from previous games) and some sections outstay their welcome.
- Music is disappointing, as the melodious tracks from the previous game are replaced with harsh, distorted sounds.
