    The elevator in stage 7 of Streets of Rage 2 is a mountain to climb, but the boss can be trivialized; all of their normal attacks are coded as weapons, and the game only has 6 weapon slots to work with!

    Massive development in video game preservation: the canceled, unfinished '90s game Primal Rage 2 is now "playable' via emulation. I've played this game at Chicago's Galloping Ghost, and it deserves wider accessibility than a single arcade. So cool.

    Time for our weekly retro game recommendation. It’s Streets of Rage 2 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis! Hailed as one of best street brawlers ever made, it also features a wild soundtrack for the hardware. Followed up by the 3rd game in the series, many still claim this as the best. #retro

    Throwback to that time I saw a "Guess this video game sound effect" blog ask for submissions and I knew exactly what I had to do: Submit the Streets of Rage 2 "food eating" sound effect, which sounds almost exactly like Pac-Man eating a fruit.

    I just played Streets of Rage 2 for an hour or so - and despite having played it dozens of times in the 30-odd years since release, I'm still impressed by how good it feels. The amount of options it gives you is unreal. So many great moments, set-pieces- and that music? A wonderful game. Top 5 stuff

    Finished #RAGE2 on #PlayStation5 (PS4 back compatibility). Fun game, with decent shooting/driving mechanics, and a ton of crap to explore and blow up. The story is pretty forgettable though, and the weapon selection is also kinda lacking. Liked the first one better.

    The Game Gear port of Streets of Rage 2 is much better than the first game and very similar to the Genesis port. There are only 6 stages, but most enemies and bosses are there. There is even a brand new boss that is basically the Predator. #JustBeatIt

    Streets of Rage 2 and 4 are all-timers, and the soundtracks of 1 and 2 had a lasting impact on electronic music. There is a 3D game in development (none of the same devs are involved), but I am skeptical that it can translate well to 3D.
