I was joined by my good buddy Matt for a fun co-op game and had a great time playing through Streets of Rage together.

Let’s Play Streets of Rage:

I never played much Streets of Rage outside of dabbling a bit on the Game Gear back in the day, so it was fun to play it relatively fresh and just make some genuine banter based observations about the game with Matt, the resident Sega guy between the two of us.

The backstory is pretty disposal as were most backstories of games at the time up until developers caught on that they could do some special things with story and gamers would actually care. To the developers’ credit though, most kids looking to play a beat em’ up at the time didn’t care too much about details. As Matt said, there’s a new drug on the streets, and it’s called Rage. That’s plenty I suppose.

While I’ll always be partial to a game like Final Fight, Streets of Rage had the advantage of being two player and it makes the game so much better. So it’s basically Double Dragon 2 or 3 but not quite as good and a bit more repetitive. Maybe that’s just the Nintendo guy in knocking Sega, and there’s some Sega equivalent channel making the reverse observations on his channel.

Still I had a good time, though I recognize I wouldn’t have nearly as good a time as if I had done this game alone.
