Yuzo Koshiro's techno and house-influenced soundtrack for Streets of Rage 2, with contributions from Motohiro Kawashima, is often named among the best music on the Genesis, and it is only one part of a sequel that improved on the original in almost every way. Sega released it in 1992, with larger, more detailed sprites and a bigger cast.
Mr. X has kidnapped Adam, so Axel and Blaze team up with Adam's younger brother Eddie "Skate" Hunter and the wrestler Max Thunder. Each of the four has different speed, power and range. The police car special from the first game is gone, replaced by individual special moves that cost a slice of health, and forward-plus-attack Blitz moves give each fighter a strong rushing strike. Enemies such as Signal, Galsia and Donovan come in color-coded varieties, and stages range from city streets to a baseball stadium and an amusement park.
Tips for Streets of Rage 2
Special moves drain a little health but hit everything around you, so use them when surrounded.
Grab enemies and throw them into groups; throws deal heavy damage and create space.
