ベア・ナックルII 死闘への鎮魂歌 Bare Knuckle II / Streets of Rage 2 (MD/SG, 1992)

ベア・ナックル II 「１９９２」

"The soundtrack was influenced by electronic dance music, specifically house, techno, hardcore techno, and breakbeat. The soundtrack for Streets of Rage 2 is considered 'revolutionary' and ahead of its time, for its 'blend of swaggering house synths,' 'dirty' electro-funk and 'trancey electronic textures that would feel as comfortable in a nightclub as a video game.'"

Streets of Rage - Erradicação do crime ao melhor estilo PUNK

Streets of Rage, também conhecido como Bare Knuckle(ベア・ナックル), é uma série de beat ‘em up que pegou elementos emprestados de Final Fight(1989), na qual três heróis combinam esforços para desmantelar um sindicato criminal que assola a cidade. A trilogia original foi desenvolvida para o SEGA Genesis nos anos 1990. Um quarto título da série foi lançado em 2020 pela Lizardcube, a mesma empresa responsável pelo remake em alta definição de Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap para as plataformas atuais. A trilha sonora do game, baseada em música eletrônica, foi composta por Yuzo Koshiro e Motohiro Kawashima. O nome da franquia, “Streets of Rage”, provavelmente foi inspirado no filme Streets of Fire(Ruas de Fogo). 

Trilogia original

Os três primeiros títulos da série Streets of Rage foram desenvolvidos entre 1991 e 1994 para o SEGA Genesis. No primeiro game, Streets of Rage(1991), denominado Bare Knuckle: Furious Iron Fist(ベア・ナックル 怒りの鉄拳), três personagens principais, sendo eles Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding, e Adam Hunter, vão às ruas para combater o crime organizado, enquanto que o megalômano Mr. “X” serve como antagonista principal. Quando Final Fight foi lançado em 1989 aos arcades pela Capcom, foi estabelecido o sistema de balanceamento, que consiste no fraco, médio e forte, e que se tornou padrão em outros games dentro do gênero beat ‘em up, no caso, Guy é o mais fraco, mas o mais veloz, Haggar é o mais forte, mas o mais lento, e Cody é o mais balanceado. Para efeito de comparação, Blaze tem a menor força, mas tem a maior velocidade, Adam é o mais forte, mas o mais pesado, e Axel é o mais equilibrado. Streets of Rage ‘91 é o único game da série que inclui um ataque especial limitado que liquida todos os algozes regulares na tela. Streets of Rage 2(1992), denominado no Japão como Bare Knuckle II: Requiem of Deadly Battle(ベア・ナックルII 死闘への鎮魂歌) teve novos implementos, tais como trilha sonora composta por Yuzo Koshiro e Motohiro Kawashima, com base na música eletrônica, visuais gráficos mais definidos, bem como novos personagens, tais como Eddie “Skate” Hunter e Max Thunder. Streets of Rage 3(1994), denominado Bare Knuckle III(ベア・ナックルIII), teve menor recepção pelo público em comparação com os dois games antecessores; Apesar de alguns avanços técnicos, Streets of Rage 3 era muito similar com Streets of Rage 2, e foi implementado um enredo muito mais complexo com o uso de cutscenes. O modo Normal de Streets of Rage 3(NA) era bem mais difícil, e acredite se quiser, mais injusto que o modo Hard de Bare Knuckle III(JP), e a trilha sonora, composta por Yuzo Koshiro e Motohiro Kawashima, foi muito criticada por ser radicalmente diferente da música dos dois títulos predecessores. Diferente de Streets of Rage 1 e 2, que foram portados para Master System e Game Gear, Streets of Rage 3 permaneceu como um exclusivo do SEGA Mega Drive.  

Hiato 

Embora Streets of Rage fosse uma das franchises mais populares da SEGA, nenhum novo projeto oficial relacionado à série foi desenvolvida por 25 anos após Streets of Rage 3, com exceção de relançamentos da trilogia em diversas coletâneas de clássicos da SEGA. Houve uma tentativa da SEGA de trazer Streets of Rage para o SEGA Saturn, e no começo do ciclo de produção do Dreamcast, uma demo de um possível hipotético Streets of Rage 4 foi elaborado pela Ancient Corp., que mostrava Axel lutando contra diversos algozes. No entanto, nenhum dos projetos designados ao SEGA Saturn e ao Dreamcast viram a luz do dia. Diversos projetos não-oficiais foram elaborados por fãs, tais como Streets of Rage Remake, derrubado oficialmente pela SEGA; OpenBor, um motor de jogo inspirado em Streets of Rage, possibilitou aos fãs elaborar games de beat ‘em up com mecânicas de Streets of Rage, mas com elementos de franchises famosas, como Street Fighter(imagem acima, com Ryu enfrentando Guile, Akuma e Adon), The King of Fighters, Marvel Super Heroes e Final Fight, bem como outras franchises. 

Revival

Um crossover de 2015, Project “X” Zone 2, marcou a presença de Axel Stone como personagem jogável e Robot Axel como um chefe. Isso marcou a primeira nova aparição de personagens de Streets of Rage em mais de 20 anos. Em 2018, Streets of Rage 4(ベア・ナックルIV) foi anunciado, e em 2020 foi oficialmente lançado pela Lizardcube, a mesma produtora que desenvolveu o remake HD de Wonder Boy III: The Dragon’s Trap(1989), Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap(2017). Streets of Rage 4 trouxe de volta o clássico estilo beat ‘em up com o qual muitos que viveram nos anos 1990 estavam familiarizados, bem como algumas mudanças de design de personagens preexistentes(Axel, por exemplo, está mais barbado) e a adição de novos personagens, e um estilo de gráfico desenhado à mão, bem como outros implementos. Um spin-off muito similar com SoR, baseado na controversa série Yakuza(龍が如く Ryū ga Gotoku), denominado Streets of Kamurocho, foi desenvolvido pela Empty Clip Studios, e lançado para Steam, em 17 de outubro de 2020, para comemorar o 60º(sexagésimo) aniversário da SEGA.

Game review: Bare Knuckle II / Streets of Rage 2 (Sega Mega Drive)

Title: Streets of Rage 2

Japanese Title: Bare Knuckle II / ベア・ナックルII 死闘への鎮魂歌

Release Date: 15 December 1992 (US), 14 January 1993 (Japan)

Platform: Sega Mega Drive

Developer: Sega, Ancient Corp., HIC, Shout! Design Works, MNM Software

Publisher: Sega

Genre: Fighting Action

Number of Players: 2

Catalogue Number: G-4091

Music Composer(s): Yuzo Koshiro, Motohiro Kawashima, Takeshi Maruyama

——————————————————————————

There are no words that can describe how good this game is.  Full of great action and some of the best, if not the best music on the Mega Drive.  There's only one thing I will say about Bare Knuckle II, and that is that it's that best 16 bit walk along fighter ever made, that EVERY Mega Drive owner must own it.

Playable characters include Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding, Sammy Hunter (renamed Eddie Hunter in the western versions), and Max Thunder - all with a certain stat ranking. The moves are there, and they add to the action, and are well complemented by the design of the background and enemies.

It sure is better than the original Final Fight on the Super Famicom, to put it that way (^O^)

So, why should you buy Bare Knuckle II or Streets of Rage 2 (if you can find it online)? If you're on a Mega Drive [and you missed on Final Fight unless you owned a Mega-CD], then yeah. It's probably the beat walk-along fighter on the Mega Drive.

Bare Knuckle II / Streets of Rage 2 on the Sega Mega Drive gets a score of...

8/10.

Good going, considering there are still dedicated fans of the series today, with Streets of Rage 4 already released on modern consoles and PC.

Gameplay from yesterday. One day before the Streets of Rage 4 release I've played Streets of Rage 2. My favorite game of the series yet. Streets of Rage 2, released in Japan as Bare Knuckle II: The Requiem of the Deadly Battle (ベア・ナックルII 死闘への鎮魂歌, Bea Nakkuru Tsū: Shitō e no Rekuiemu), is a side-scrolling beat 'em up video game published by Sega in 1992 for the Mega Drive/Genesis and developed by an ad hoc team of several companies: Sega, Ancient, Shout! Designworks, MNM Software and H.I.C. It is the second game in the Streets of Rage series, a sequel to Streets of Rage and followed by Streets of Rage 3 and now Streets of Rage 4.
