Mega Drive Longplay [004] Streets of Rage 3

www.longplays.net
Played By: RickyC
Never played the 3rd one. Blaze seemed weaker until i realised you got stronger specials if you don't die. I like the new features like performing specials without damaging yourself i you only do them once in a while, and weapon damage and side rolls! Couldnt work out if you can throw weapons in this one though.
Game seems twice as hard as the others! ninjas everywhere! no pirates though :( -

[@Reeminmotion]

I wanna bring you back here so you can rewatch it.

[@sweetadrienne3572]

I have to say this one is my favorite of all the streets of rage series. I also like to give mad props to the person who was playing this game. Not only they made sure the character they're going to be chosen (Blaze) had enough lives, they also changed the game level to hard, and they managed throughout the entire game to keep it at 4-7 lives. Now to me that's skill. I remember I couldn't even get past stage 6 while the level was on easy...lol

[@BlazeRhodon]

+LaShonda Jones Streets of Rage 3 is harder on normal than Bare Knuckle 3 on very hard. I beat Bare Knuckle 3 on very hard without loss of life (and it was not easy especially at last levels) but I played on emulator, I never played on real console. I prefer to play on emulator because then I can use hacked ROMs and I know how to disable this awful music saving game sounds by the way (it is quite complicated but I can give link to my hacked ROMs without music).

[@BlazeRhodon]

+LaShonda Jones By the way, Streets of Rage 3 ends on fifth level (after beating Robot X) if you choose easy difficulty. Difficulty level in Streets of Rage 3 is ridiculous, even on easy game is harder than Bare Knuckle 3 on normal.

[@racsterentertainment.games3791]

Streets of Rage 1 is the best, gameplay music everything ) Great play through tho!

[@salmannoor4991]

i love u

[@Soviless99]

I always liked how #3 was more fast paced

[@paulolameiras861]

Streets of Rage 2 had the perfect pacing to me.

[@rootykazooty351]

Bare Knuckle III shades it for me. And it runs in higher resolution than SOR II. Both epic though.

[@EOTA564]

SoR 3 is a bit more hardcore. SoR 2 is more arcadey and the more fun game to pick up and play.

is nice to see Adam for a few seconds even more he is just in SOR 1 Good Job!

Dont kill the kangaroo. Kill its master then you get to play as the kangaroo itself. Loved these kind of secrets.

[@dastanbastan9621]

Notice how Streets of Rage 3 has basically the same realistic art direction as the one in Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, I bet same devs were behind this game look. They like a siblings... And they kinda are. Isn't this just fascinating?

[@melaniel.4269]

Would it blow your mind now to learn that the games were made by completely different teams and completely different people? Golden Axe was created by Team Shinobi and the main designer was Makoto Uchida, while Streets of Rage was designed by Noriyoshi Oba and Sega CS. If anything you can see the resemblence between Revenge of Shinobi and Streets of Rage because both games were designed by Oba and had the same graphic designer: Seishi Atsumiya.

[@chengzheng4794]

Amazing game. But North American release is a little bit frustrating

[@axzaos]

They also changed the story. In the Japanese version, the USA is in danger (not just the city), and the guy you're supossed to save is not the "police chief", but the president himself.

[@tessatessa3894]

And x8 boss's health bars on hard, wtf.

[@tropixx_xlr1549]

Even though they censorshiped the heck out of the north american version, this is still a VERY enjoyable game!

[@melaniel.4269]

The censorship isn't as bad as the screwed up difficulties. For the US game they turned the difficulty up, so what is normal in the US is Hard in the original version. And the hard difficulty is actually incredibly difficult, while in the original it's challenging but not that insane.

This game had amazing music.

check ot the music in streets of rage 1

[@matthewrivera5923]

and streets of rage 2's music was great too.

[@mpoerot8013]

what? SOR3 is the worse of all series. I think SOR3 and sonic and knuckles are where they started to use part of the sound chip for game logic processing. making the audio sounds awful

[@chistophersaylor]

I love how in the intro Blaze explains "Adam is too busy to help". They couldn't have come up with a better excuse than that? They make it sound like he's off at a Knicks game or something.

[@amso7169]

The Japanese version has a better explanation.

[@sandorrozsa6148]

[@katakisLives]

I finished Streets of Rage one and two but was never able to beat this one! I favoured Alex Stone but I felt that a lot of his moves had been badly nerfed in this game and the classic technique of holding an enemy frozen by steadily punching them no longer worked either! they really ramped up the difficulty in this edition

[@dragonstormx]

This game's plot is heavily edited from the Japanese version. In that the plot revolved around some fictional substance that was used to make bombs and Mr. X trying to start a war.

[@MasterTJ007]

Looved the music. Looved the combos.

[@riproaringanus]

If we had more cops like Axel and Blaze the world would be a much safer 2D one. And all music would be 8 bit

I always hated the fact that Adam never made it back into the series but his lame ass brother did. Also, if you play 2 characters then you better damn sure be playing with someone who has some skills, lol.

[@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane]

The Japanese version is much better than the North American version.

[@BlazeRhodon]

+Norman Bates I agree but music is equally lackluster, fortunately I found the way to disable it with programmers tool called hex editor (I do not recommend to try it if you don't know what you need to edit).

[@BlazeRhodon]

+Marcel Weber Beat Bare Knucke 3 on very hard with one life at the beginning without losing life by whole game. This is very challenging.

[@Maru96]

Blaze Rhodon Self-impossed challenge are redundant, pretty much any game is challenging if you do pointless limitations like no-damage/no-death, that's why these games have limited continues and diffculty options.

[@BlazeRhodon]

+Marcel Weber Briganty: The Roots of Darkness for NEC PC-98 computers is much harder and enjoyable than Streets of Rage 3. In Briganty there are no continues and amount of lives. If you die game is over.

[@rootykazooty351]

@Adam, agreed. With that, and the extra boss, and without the female enemies skimpy outfits being censored, Bare Knuckle III is absolutely the one to buy.

[@MisterJonesification]

Blaze looks like Kimberly from Power Rangers.

Sometimes I wish some of the streets of rage characters like Blaze, Skate or Axel would appear in fighting games as a guest star characters.

Axel already made it into Project X Zone 2 but i would love to see him in a fighting game like KOF or Street Fighter

[@eMCizzle1]

What ever happened to Max Thunder from SoR 2? You see him with them in the last photo with their backs turned, but he wasn't in the storyline of SoR 3 whatsoever. Lastly, I think SoR2 had better graphics and music. Just my two cents.

[@dalaxdercrisper957]

Max mostly helped Adam in his assignment police so that's the reason why he wasn't playable

man your playing the poorly translated American version of this game? They screwed the story up so much its ridiculous. At least you picked the best character to play as in the game. As for beating this on hard you got some mad ass skillz.

This game to me was never hard, SOR 2 was hard lol......................Always loved SOR 3

[@justinjenkins4301]

i thought it was just me,this game is hard as hell to beat by urself,i cam beat 2 by myself but i go to the bulldozer stage ,this game was very diffcult still a good beat em up.i just got the old school retro trio system .

[@blazerhodonii5747]

Your description is wrong. Blaze is still best character but you should know that Streets of Rage 3 version is much more difficult on normal than Bare Knuckle 3 on very hard. I tried myself both version and in Bare Knuckle 3 Blaze rules as usual. Great longplay but in my humble opinion playing Streets of Rage 3 even on normal is pure masochism.

[@bleedingpepper]

Agreed. Of the core 4 characters she's the best in my opinion. There's that exploit with the running sword attack as well which adds to Blaze's ability (where as you're running into the enemy, as long as you don't kill them, you automatically grab them and don't use any of the sword's durability bar). And if you catch the enemy as they're half onscreen, the running sword attack goes on for ages and does a lot of extra damage. I've always liked Shiva and found him to be the best character purely for that high kick attack.

[@pedrogreen486]

best game ever

[@rootykazooty351]

Agreed. My favourite 16 Bit game. Just fantastic. I've over 400 SNES and Mega Drive games, and this is the one I keep going back to.

Well I to tell the truth I never played Shiva on the console version just the emulated one which should be exactly the same... He spinning kick thing (Final Crash) I believe is the name of the attack you are looking for which is done by -> + A I believe. If you want a rom of the translated JPN version of the game let me know. Also I don't use Shiva in 3, the main character I use is Blaze. So as far as his move set goes for Shiva i don't know what to tell you maybe you got it wrong but maybe not

[@BigD7997]

this game was damn near impossible to beat by your self

[@rootykazooty351]

Yeh, Bare Knuckle III is the one to get. Extra boss, Better intro, the female enemies not censored (skimpy outfits) and not insanely difficult. Awesome game!

[@briankenney9528]

It can be harder if player two won't stay out of your lane or his you with a special

[@Sledgex3]

I don't know if that was the purpose. But theres something about one of the enemies in this game. He's called Big Ben (or Bongo). He has red and green color palletes. he's wearing clothes similiar to that famous plumber. He could resemble Mario and Luigi and the fire which he's breathing, could be the refference to Fire Flower. It could be possible that was the part of Sega mocking Nintendo company back then.

[@therealbluedragon]

No I don't think so. A fat dude with a white shirt and red shoulder straps does not represent Mario to me. Sega of America might have been a bunch of dicks when it came to calling out the competition but Sega of Japan who actually made the game never did anything like that.

[@TomboyGamerGal]

I can only beat this game with Blaze since she's the best character in this game since the other three aren't that good to me. (Ignoring the hidden playable characters) This game is mad hard and you'll need serious reflexes if you want to beat it and get the good ending.

[@TomboyGamerGal]

I'm pretty surprised that this guy can play this game on hard mode; normal mode is already a hard mode to me since you have to beat this game in normal mode or hard mode to get a best ending. In easy mode, the game will end after you finish stage 5. Sega deliberately taunts players by saying fuck you we're not going to let you progress any further if you play it on easy mode noob.

[@TomboyGamerGal]

How you defeated the level 6 boss and especially level 7 boss... wow... you're the man dude. I defeat the level 7 boss by doing a trick where I kept jump kicking him until it dies. When I found that trick by myself, I was astonished XD.

Okay been curious of how you recover yourself from being tossed XD That is the only time is where I literally have trouble in this game, is when the enemy grabs me and then throws me over their shoulders. I can never figure out how your suppose to recover from it, without receiving too much damage lol. Also, did not know the Weapons also had dash attacks when equip.

[@stardustx1094]

To avoid any damage when being thrown by an enemy, press and hold UP+JUMP from the moment your enemy throws you until you hit the ground. Your character will land on their feet sustaining no damage.
