Streets of Rage 2, known in Japan as Bare Knuckle II: Shitō he no Chinkonka , and in Europe as Streets of Rage II with a Roman numeral, is a side-scrolling beat 'em up released by Sega in 1992 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. The game is also playable in the game Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection. It is the second game in the Streets of Rage series, a sequel to Streets of Rage and followed by Streets of Rage 3. Its soundtrack is by Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima. The game introduced two new characters: Max Thunder and Eddie "Skate" Hunter , brother of Adam Hunter from the... original game. Though Streets of Rage 2 plays very similar to its predecessor it improves and refines much of the gameplay. The biggest change is the replacement of the original special attack, which was calling a police car to damage all on-screen enemies, with individual special attacks performed by each character, that depletes some of their health. Each character's move list has been expanded and edited to make them very individual to play instead of similar with different handicaps.
