Play Streets of Rage 2 – Sketch Turner Online

Streets of Rage 2 came out on the Sega Genesis in 1992, developed and published by Sega. It was one of the standout beat 'em ups on the system, arriving at a time when local co-op games ruled the living room. The game built on the foundation of the first one but tightened up the action and gave the whole experience a sharper, more aggressive feel.

You control one of four characters, each with their own moves and special attacks, fighting through waves of thugs across a city taken over by a criminal syndicate. Your goal is to reach the final boss and take back the streets. The combat relies on combos, grabs, and screen clearing special moves that cost a bit of health. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty is steady, with enemy patterns that keep you alert. It feels responsive and weighty, landing hits with a sense of impact that makes every encounter satisfying.
