I've played all the streets of rage games, the official ones, and the unofficial ones (beats of rage, SOR remake, etc). This IS SOR 4. The graphics are beautiful and remind me of the old SOR, but also of other famous beat them up (like comix zone, with which it shares its "comic book" look). The colours are vibrant, and it's interesting to see the modern take on some old favorites. Gameplay is excellent, and old school as can be, with a few additions, like combos and furies. I see many people complaining that "there's no online", but in my opinion, games like these are meant to be played with your mates next to you, and not on the other end of the universe. Yet the game is not perfect: It's hard, incredibly hard for an SOR game (the others were pretty easy to beat in normal mode, here, it's gonna be a challenge), more so as there are no continues. Some of the enemies have a bit of an iffy hitbox: most notably the taser cops, who seem to be able to grab you from a solid meter away. Also, I'm a bit saddened that Max in it's SOR4 glory isn't playable, but 17 characters is nothing to overlook, (yeah, we get 4 axels, 4 blazes and 2 adams, but the movesets vary). All in all a very nice experience, and a great new entry into the series. Now I only hope it's the first in many more to come. And keep an eyes, there's a ton of easter eggs, from all levels and bosses that come back to "background" nods, like Roo the Kangaroo as a barman.
Fallout was one of the first game I played on a computer. more than 10 years later, it's still one of my favorites, with its sequel and the Baldur's Gate series. all by the same team.
