Bare Knuckle 3 > Streets of Rage 2 // edit: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SoR1
Preface; Streets of Rage 3 was localized terribly. Changing colours for the worse, removing graphics, disregarding the story, using a shitty box art etc. Just a lazy job all around. So, for that reason, SoR3 is dead to me and Bare Knuckle 3 is where it's at.
Okay, I know this might be blasphemy, but as good as SoR2 is for a beatumup, it's just not as good as it's sequel. Bare Knuckle 3 introduced gameplay that I just can't live without. Running, rolling and a supermove metre just make it so much more enjoyable for me.
Not only that, but it also has a couple interesting scene where they try to mix the gameplay up. For instance, the bulldozer scene. Wind is used as well. Don't forget the interactive backgrounds either. Moving rail carts and the reintroduction of pits are great.
Ash: Ash is awesome. Best. Boss. Ever.
Music: Never really liked the music in SoR2..as much as others seemed to. It's good, though. Great for MD. And yes, the music in BK3 falls short, but it's not as awful as some people say. There are some pretty awesome tracks, like the character select screen and story demo music. It's different,,,and yes, maybe the MD really couldn't pull off what they were trying to do, but a lot of it is still pretty cool.
Graphics - BK3 wins hands down. The main character sprites are MUCH better than 2 and the backgrounds are, IMO, cooler.
I'd go on, but this is already pushing it in terms of how much time I want to put into this blasphemy.
What do you guys think?
