### 3/5 — The game is fun just one problem.

*2022-08-10, version 4.1.3*

You have to log into game Center to save why can’t it just be watching ad and save like streets of rage so if you get this can you please change that because what if someone doesn’t have game center and doesn’t want to download it and and you need to be signed in why can’t you just make it watch an ad.

### 3/5 — Amelco1

*2022-04-27, version 4.1.3*

Needs alittle big of work to look like the original.

### 5/5 — A forever game

*2021-11-18, version 4.1.3*

Direct correlation to skill.

### 3/5 — Sometimes Fun

*2021-01-31, version 4.1.3*

Lots of adds sometimes its fun.

### 1/5 — Sega is a money grubbing company

*2020-09-02, version 4.1.1*

So I download and start the app.
Sega RUNS AN AD BEFORE YOU GET TO PLAY
What the heck?
And it’s a 30 Second Ad
BEFORE you even get to play anything.....
IT’s NOT OK
DELETE, DELETE, DELETE till they get the point

### 5/5 — Thank you but …

*2017-12-13, version 1.0.1*

I love this game and I played it a lot when I was a child! So when I saw it in App Store I really exited,  but it has an awful control. hope you fix it soon ( make the control keys bigger for example).

**Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to send us a suggestion! We are very interested in what our players think about the game and what improvements you feel we can make along the way. I've gone ahead and forwarded this to the developers. They will be reviewing suggestions and problems players experience to help them better plan future updates. I cannot make any guarantees about what changes can be made, but I'm happy to pass it along.

### 4/5 — Good port except controls

*2017-12-12, version 1.0.1*

Controls are unresponsive. Missing jumps and can’t aim for $#!+ cause the controls don’t always respond. Other than that, great game

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2017-12-04, version 1.0.1*

I’m a big fan of SEGA, takes me way back. SEGA is amazing!!! 😃

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2017-11-11, version 1.0.1*

It’s a classic game it’s very nice but then I️ feel like it should be a little modernized so I️ don’t get bored i mean i already played the game when i was little so 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ i mean it’s a good game you just might get bored that’s all

### 5/5 — ESWAT!  Another SEGA classic!

*2017-11-08, version 1.0.0*

If you loved this on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive, you'll love it on iOS!  The ports keep getting better and better!

If you haven't played ESWAT before, it's an awesome action platformer where you start off as a regular human cop in a cyberpunk future fighting against evil criminals,  cyborgs, and even helicopters! Later on, you get upgraded to a cyborg yourself with awesome weapons and a rocket pack!!  Why don't they make games like this anymore?  

So glad Sega Forever is releasing all these rad SEGA classics!  The only in app purchase is to remove adds (which I always buy to support the game devs! 😁👍🏼)

I love the added "scanlines" option too, keep up the good work and keep the games coming guys!!
