Axel, Adam, and Blaze- ex-cops, the solution to punk pollution. The city is a war zone, and they are going out two at a time to give the gangs a kick in the guts. This is the ultimate in street combat. These city fighters are martial arts maniacs with a battery of forty individually controllable attacks- including jabs, head butts, and over head kicks. They are up against a mob of Kung-Fu creeps and axe hurling fiends. On the streets its only two of them against hordes of attacking scum. Slam into pipe wielding weirdos and bash em with their own metal. Throw an upper cut or elbow smash- these goons keep coming. Thats the back of the case of Streets of Rage. This game is totally awesome. You got street fighting gameplay not even imaginable and controls that are real easy to experiment with.
