Another winner!!!

Although not as refined as the wonderful Streets of Rage 2, this third iteration does feature notable improvements such as faster gameplay, better graphics and more intricate animation. The often-maligned musical score is not bad per se but rather "out there" alternative. It's definitely an acquired taste. However, the game could have used more development time. Sometimes, punches and kicks don't visually make contact with your combatants making the visual presentation a tad bit sloppy at times. Also, this game is considerably harder than the previous game causing more frustration to some players. Despite its warts, I highly recommend this awesome game to anyone contemplating adding three to the rest of their collection.
