### 5/5 — Good game

*2025-02-15, version 8.0.0*

It a good game and entertaining game so cool

### 3/5 — Save doesn’t work

*2025-02-05, version 8.0.0*

Really fun game but the save function doesn’t work, seems to be the same issue with the other sega games…

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-01-28, version 8.0.0*

Cool

### 5/5 — One of the best games EVER!

*2025-01-24*

Ignore the old and outdated reviews. You can now save your games and the game is even better than before! It’s an absolute blast from start to finish, capturing the perfect balance of nostalgia and timeless gameplay. Whether you’re a veteran of the series or new to side-scrolling beat-’em-ups, this game is pure fun with its colorful environments, dynamic soundtrack, and satisfying combat mechanics. The addition of unique moves and special attacks for each character—Axel, Blaze, Max, and Skate—gives every playthrough a fresh feel, especially when teaming up with a friend in co-op mode. The enemy variety and cleverly designed boss fights keep you engaged as you punch, kick, and suplex your way through the gritty streets. From its tight controls to its vibrant graphics, Streets of Rage 2 is a masterclass in arcade-style action that remains endlessly enjoyable, even decades later.

### 5/5 — Great classic game

*2024-12-26, version 6.4.0*

It is pretty cool We can play a Sega Genesis game on a phone.

### 5/5 — So cool Sega’s games &

*2024-12-14, version 6.4.0*

Classic Stickers

### 5/5 — Memories

*2024-11-18, version 6.4.0*

I played this on sega genesis back in the days

### 2/5 — Great Series - Bad Port

*2024-10-09, version 6.4.0*

The port plays okay but the fact this was a paid application and they make you watch ads for saving and rewinding is disgusting.  Further, their privacy policy is pretty awful over at Sega.  Look at the identifiers they use to track you.   Modern Sega is so different from the Sega I grew up with. Do yourself a favor and download RetroArch and the roms for this series.

### 5/5 — Developed by sega

*2024-10-09, version 6.4.0*

Buy it

### 3/5 — An Iconic Game, But One Issue

*2024-09-04, version 6.4.0*

Like the first Streets of Rage game, the second game is improved in a few ways, such as showing enemy health bars. However, one big issue I have with this game is that if you play this game long enough, the saving system will glitch out and your game won’t be saved at all, having you redo your unsaved progress again.

### 2/5 — CONTROLLER!!!!!!

*2024-08-16, version 6.4.0*

Need to step up the controller. It’s 2024 and we can’t still get these old retro games to work on a IPhone.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-02-07, version 8.0.0*

I tried playing this on an iPad with a Magic Keyboard. The controls are absolute garbage. Doesn’t allow for remapping controls properly. Movements are weird and the buttons are nearly nonfunctional.

### 1/5 — Can’t play offline anymore

*2025-01-18, version 8.0.0*

Used to be able to play offline in airplane mode. No more. One of the updates broke that option. Now get a prompt that internet connection is required. Game is trash now. Will be uninstalling.

### 1/5 — Sega should be ashamed

*2024-12-01, version 6.4.0*

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-05-10, version 8.0.0*
