Have to agree with Samo and you.


This game, wanted me to keep playing. Unlike all the others.
Final Fight bored me, I mainly launched Final Fight, just to listen to music, .

@FOL. I wouldn't really compare Final Fight with Streets of Rage, both are beat em ups where you twat lots of enemies sure, but SOR has loads more nuance with it's move set and scoring system (which is really important for getting extra lives).

With Final Fight it's possible to finish the whole game using pretty much the same moves and methods, SOR however is a different animal, you can only really get so far using the standard attacks, performing grabs (which opens up even more moves) and how and when to use your specials opens the game up much more, along with inviting player creativity. I like both games, but for me personally FF doesn't hold a candle to SOR. But yeah If beat em ups aren't your jam then none of these points make any difference.

I`m with you on Final Fight, especially the original Amiga release, the music was the main reason I'd load it up.

Think you quoted wrong person, . Never played streets of rage and wasn't comparing.
