Would this be considered a classic if Sega of America hadn't butchered it?

Beat em' up thread

Also why does this game get so much flak? I've never played it but the gameplay videos just look like a faster paced version of the first two games.

What went wrong?

Yeah. Play the superior game.

Hi I was trying to make some new labels for some carts. Does anyone know where I can find the cartridge art scan for Streets of rage 2 and 3?

I keep hearing people say that Streets of Rage III is inferior to Streets of Rage I & II, can someone explain in detail why this is so? Because I played all 3 games and III is by far my most favorite of the series.

Out of the three III offers the fastest arcade-style gameplay while the other two are way too slow and clunky. 2 is okay and could pass as a 1989 brawler I guess, but again it's way too slow and can't compare to arcade beat 'em ups post-1989. Streets of Rage 1 is a joke in all respects.

tl;dr - You could drop III in an arcade club and it wouldn't feel out of place. You can't say the same about I and II.

Honestly with a itsy bitsy bit of polishing this game could have been the best of the series. Why the heck did Sega have to rush it?
