Streets of rage 3 isn't that bad at all...
I kinda had a hard time throwing out cash for a game that usually gets less then stellar reviews. That fact it's one of the pricey genesis games didn't help.(it's not Dracula x pricey but it's not cheap either)
So I finally snagged a "rough" copy reasonably priced on flea bay and what do you know.... I love it!
I'm not trying to say it lives up to sor2 in epicness but it's pretty fun. Axel is my favorite character in 2 and he seems a little slower in 3. The music does fall short of part 2 but I don't feel it's as bad as people make it out to be. (i like industrial more then techno) The whole game including the music has a dirtier feel to it, which I like. The way the weapons have life bars and your specials have a timer is cool. The stage where you have to bust thru walls was the icing on the cake!
I remember having similar feelings about megaman 5. People hate on it but when I played it I loved it!
Btw... Roo sucks!
