IGN has ruined review scores for everyone's minds. Because they give out 9's like free candy, they've conditioned the public into thinking anything below a 9 is "bad." A 7/10 is a perfectly fine score. I don't know who these people are that are getting mad at the game not getting 9's and 10's like this was on people's Game of the Year lists lol

SoR2 is still a contender for one of the best beat-'em-ups of all time. Incredible graphics and sound, with combat and control that was the right combination of depth and accessibility. All SoR4 had to do (and looks like it has done) is bring that style and polish to the modern era and give the players a few new things to give the game its own identity. It looks to me like the game was successful in this. So, yeah, this looks to be living up to be the sequel we've been waiting for since 1994.

This comment gets an 11/10. Pure, unadulterated truth. Also, I love this game. Worth my money and my time. Streets of Rage 4, for me, is a 9/10. It delivered the kind of experience an older gamer like myself can really appreciate. I'm probably not in IGN's core demographic, and kids might hate this game, so I get why they gave it this score, but come on. This game is an absolute masterpiece. I can't imagine a better sequel to the original Streets of Rage trilogy.

What I meant was that, in Streets of Rage Remake for example, you could use versions of characters from SoR1 and they’d have a fully fleshed out move set. Blitz attacks, special attacks etc. In this game, if you were to pick SoR1 axel, you have no blitz attack and no special moves. You’re limited to calling the police car, just like in the first game

Chaos Animator yeah I get that but just the mere fact they have different move sets means it’s not the original versions of them. It’s just a skin to look like the original. You are looking past the fact they made all versions of streets of rage fit into a modern game. The moves are exactly the same but can potentially juggle now. The only reason why the remake have them all having new moves set are because they technically wouldn’t work with that battle engine in the same way. They already showed they could even upgrade the police car with Astel. People who never play the original can actually use those characters in their true form. If they play the remake and then go back to trying the original, it would be disappointing cause it’s not really the same. The fact that all mechanics are intact makes it insanely genius. You can actually play this with every streets of rage battle mechanics. For example, if you felt streets of rage 2 was the best battle system you can just use those characters here. Everything you loved about them are intact with now mechanics left out. The remake then are old skins with movesets from the originals. Yes they may be upgraded and smoother but it’s not true to the game. This upgraded the originals while keeping them sacred. I get your sentiment but the amount of characters that would take, I would rather them just bring a whole bunch of new characters if they will have movesets similar to part 4. This wasn’t a remake, they actually expanded the universe while keeping the original feel inside it. And they are also not at a disadvantage, the older characters have more defense and strength. Also they were never meant to be better, it was to preserve the history of streets of rage. Yes the remake is great but that’s not what Sega created. If we rewrite how they play then future generations may never see what the real streets of rage was.
