Game Summary:
Streets of Rage (ベアナックル 怒りの鉄拳, Bea Nakkuru: Ikari no Tekken, ”Bare Knuckle: Furious Iron Fist”) is a side-scrolling beat ’em up video game developed and published by Sega for the Mega Drive/Genesis in 1991. It is the first installment of the Streets of Rage series, followed by Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3. The game was later converted to the Game Gear, Sega CD and Master System, and was also released for the Wii’s Virtual Console and for the iOS via the App Store, as well as being made available as part of Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection in 2009 on both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles.
Gameplay:
Like in the game Golden Axe which was released two years prior by Sega, enemies walk onto the screen from both sides as well as occasionally appearing from other locations. The player must defeat each opponent to progress through eight locations, known as rounds. With the exception of round 7, there is a boss battle at the end of every round with a disproportionately large enemy. Unlike its sequels, none of the enemies are named within the game (they are named only in the Japanese version’s manual) and only the bosses have life gauges.
As in contemporary games Double Dragon and Final Fight, the player can pick up weapons, which include knives, bottles, and drainpipes. In Streets of Rage, the special attack has assistance from a police car, which enters the screen from the left and fires explosives, taking health from all enemies. The player is given one special attack per life or per level and power-ups shaped like police cars supply another.
Plot:
The once peaceful city has been taken over by a criminal syndicate, including factions of the police. Mass violence is now common and no one is safe. Adam Hunter (an accomplished boxer), Axel Stone (skilled martial artist) and Blaze Fielding (judo expert) are vicenarian ex-police officers who have quit the force to fight back against the syndicate.
Depending on whether the game is played as one-player or a two-player co-op, and whether the player accepts or rejects Mr. X’s offer to join his henchmen, there is a possibility for an alternate ending where the player becomes the new head of the crime syndicate.
