مهيب بنفس جودة الثاني لكني احترم كمية المحتوى في الشخصيات
Don’t think this game deserves the hate it sometimes gets (tho I did play the English translation of the Japanese version). Absolute banger
I was expecting something different about SoR3 compared to the previous games (the more sequels there are, the worse they usually are). I don't think that I was wrong about this one.
The game is harder than the other ones. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing but it's not like the previous games were that easy either. Even Easy Mode is difficult in this one.
Just like in the previous games, you spend half of the time getting beaten by your teammate

I feel bad giving this game such a low rating, since i like alot about it. The different endings, the gritty tone, the experimental music, the ability to run, and the fact that its more story driven than the previous games. And then i remember that samurai boss with like 9 health bars, and I suddenly don't feel bad anyone.
Jesus Christ, this game is hard. Hard is an understatement. This game is FUCKING hard. Hell, i've even heard some people say that streets of rage 2 on mania is easier than this game on normal mode. And while i only beat streets 2 on normal, i wouldn't be surprised if it is. On top of that, those motherfuckers over at Sega hated children so much that they made it so if your playing on easy mode, the game ends at stage 5, and you aren't able to progress any further.
They also decided to bring back Mona and Lisa as the stage 2 boss. Fucking BS. They aren't as hard as they were in streets 1, but still.
Unless you want your life to be dedicated to beating this, I would recommend using the 9 lives and round select cheats if you want to get any ending other than the bad ending on easy.
I've heard that Bare Knuckle 3, the Japanese version, is easier, so once i get my hands on a translated rom, ill be able to give my true thoughts on this game.
For now, fuck it.

coop muito divertido
A underrated gem of the beat'em up genre especially when playing the non-US version.
Pro
+ Wide range of characters and movesets
+ Multiple Endings
+ Impressive sprite work
Cons
- (US version) awkward plot
- (US version) Unecessaily tough difficulty
- Music may be abrasive to some (I personally view it as great fight music)
Overall: A must play for beat'em up fans, and absolutely worthy of any top lists. Even those who aren't fans of the genre may find pockets of enjoyment in this classic. I would say finding an english translation of the Japanese game may be the best way to play for my US players. Most would agree with it not being the best of the Streets of Rage series, but I'm not one of those people.
