Great as a sequel
It might not be the most modern beat'em up, but as a sequel to a long dormant franchise, it does a terrific job delivering the classical Streets of Rage experience. It might not take as many steps forward as it should have during that time, but when you're just looking to see ANY continuation of the series, SoR4 meets expectations and surpasses them while still remaining very faithful to the franchise. That in itself is very impressive. For fans. For non-fans, it might feel a little antiquated. The game does have a few bugs and missing features, and there are some obvious omissions from the roster, but there is a good chance all of this will be added in time. The fighters you can unlock is already an impressive list and includes the entire cast from the previous games, including one boss (not sure why people are saying these characters aren't unlockable). The only real flaw is with the GoG version due to the lack of online.
