Streets of Rage for the Game Gear was one of those games that was supposed to be a substitute for going to the arcades. The dynamic of the video game is very much like Double Dragon or Final Fight, both games that I loved, the latter having played in the arcades.


The game allows the user to pick from one of two characters, and once you do, you can start your mission to clean up the city's dirty streets. The game is pretty straight forward, and it was enjoyable to play. It was a bit on the easy side (I beat it in a week as far as I remember), and I played it a few more times after beating it, but the replay factor is really low.


This is one of those games that I wish I could have rented.
