El primer juego de la saga Streets of Rage es increíblemente lento y metódico en su ejecución. A la hora de jugarlo en solitario puede ser exasperante, pero a la hora de jugarlo con dos personas se hace muy divertido, por lo menos hasta que te toca pelear con las gemelas Blaze. El juego parece que está intentando encontrar su estilo la mayor parte del tiempo, y por culpa de eso creo que se queda corto salvo por la música y los decorados. Aún así, creo que es interesante jugarlo después de Golden Axe, porque ayuda a entenderlo como una destilación de las ideas que aquél juego empleara hasta formar el beat'em up "ideal".

The first game of the Streets of Rage series is incredibly slow and, because of that, extremely methodical in its execution. When it comes to single player playthroughs, it is positively infuriating, but if you play with a friend, it's really fun until you reach the last level and fight the Blaze Twins. The game feels like it's trying to settle for a style most of the time, and aside for the music and the backgrounds, it doesn't have that much going on. Still, I think it's interesting to play alongside Golden Axe to see it as a distillation of its ideas that would eventually form the "ideal" beat'em up
