Streets of Rage 4
SCORE: 46
I don't normally play beat em up kind of
games. I was asked to broaden my horizons and try out Streets of Rage 4.
We got a free copy thanks to the Xbox Game Pass that Peter pays for.
Otherwise I would have never heard of or seen Streets of Rage 4. I did
find there are physical copy versions of Streets of Rage 4 available for
hardcore gamers to buy. This game is not for kids.
Streets of Rage 4 earns its thirteen and older only rating from the
lenient ESRB. We pummel a wide array of characters in Streets of Rage 4.
We can punch and kick them or use some powerful attacks. Here is the
trade off though. When we use powerful special attacks in Streets of
Rage 4 we lose health. We gain health by punching and kicking many of
the same looking enemies. This encouraged me to pretty much just use
punches and kicks which makes Streets of Rage 4 really boring.
The issues families will have with Streets of Rage 4 is violence, lack
of attire, enticement to lust, bad language, and more. We can punch and
kick things like cars until they explode. When we find stars we can use
super powerful attacks on the enemies. They can be used one time per
star we find. I found Streets of Rage 4 to be boring and difficult at
the same time. Picking up weapons is good for hurting enemies, but they
break really quickly.
I found if you over use the powerful attacks you will die quickly and
often. Until you get the game over screen. Which for me was
encouragement to delete Streets of Rage 4 and never play it again.
Multiple people in the same area or online can suffer through Streets of
Rage 4 at the same time. The graphics are nice and the music is cool to
listen to. The action is just so repetitive in Streets of Rage 4.
I know Streets of Rage 4 is along the lines of its genre and style from
the previous three games. I am not the target audience. I am not into
these kinds of games. BattleToads at least broke up the boring fight all
the same looking enemies with different kinds of levels. That is where
Streets of Rage 4 lost me. I get tired of pummeling the same looking
characters over and over again.
