Streets of Rage 2

[El Leone]

Jeez, how did some of you guys manage to beat this on hardcore without continung? Or did you alter it so it was on hardcore but you had 9 lives?

[Family Fry]

Isnt the
Perfect Win
Beat the game without continuing.

Achievement just that, it doesnt have to be done on hardcore? Just finish the game without using a continue?

Just the 800,000 on hardcore that will be a swine to get.

[Bleeders]

Perfect Win/Beat the game without continuing is a piece of piss.

Just whack your lives up to 9 and on Easy if need be, job done.

Hardcore one though, is tough.

Just downloaded the demo of this - not a particularly impressive port at all, a lot of the sound effects sound wrong, and it's extremely blurred and lacking clarity compared to the Wii Virtual Console version (I do have smoothing disabled).

Of course, the co-op is the main thing here. It's just a shame it's such a lackluster emulation.

The difference in clarity between the Wii and 360 versions is down to the Wii outputting a native unscaled 320x240 signal, and the 360 remaining in 1280x720 and bilinear scaling the image to blow it up to full screen. They could of course, have turned bilnear off...

[sj33]

It just looks plain nasty imo, somewhat defeats the point of a nice telly and a HD console if the clarity is completely destroyed just to make it less blocky.

*this is a critisism of this kind of filtering in general, not specifically SoR2 which would still be an excellent game if it was played on a 3" b/w fishbowl TV.

There's only 2 hardcore achievements...

Beat the 2nd level boss (done)
800,000 points (I've not done).

I assume the 800,000 one means completing it on hardcore, though after level 2 I had 160,000 points when I saved it.

Just spam the grandUPPPPAAAARRR and you'll get level 2 done easily.

I thought it looked OK (on a 21" monitor via VGA), neat little game that doesn't require too much brain demand. Well worth the three odd quid

[Bleeders]

It's a classic mate, the lad Yoshi and I having loadsa fun with the Battle Mode last-night, ****ing class XBLA game!

Thanks for the spamming technique, will give that a bash.

[Yoshimax]

Y those VS fights were excellent - it's amazing how well it adapts to online - so quick, easy and fun.

Standing toe to toe with 2 Axels just spamming the punch-flurry special was hilarious !!!

[Bleeders]

That was brilliant.

Anyone got the 5pt achievement yet?

[Jebus]

5pt achievement?

Gotta agree with Yosh though, the VS matches are excellent. I played about 8 matches against one guy and he would not give up! He won one round in 8 matches but wouldn't give up!

Regarding visuals, it looks just the same as I remember it to be honest...I didn't care about a visual upgrade that much, achievements + online was more than enough of a cookie to tempt me. Oh and the fact it's an excellent game.

[Bleeders]

The one where you fight 10 opponents or win 10 matches?

[Jebus]

Yeah I've got that!

I found it odd, for your first win you get 10g, but for winning 10 matches you get 5g

[Yoshimax]

Yeah but do they have to be ranked matches ? The two of us played a ****load of games last night and neither got the achievement (and Bleeders most certainly should have ><)
