Streets of Rage 2 for the Game Gear is a port of Sega's legendary Genesis brawler. Although it removes Max and removes some stages, it adds some new levels and each character has a nearly complete moveset despite the lack of buttons. Like every other Streets game, it also features 2-player simultaneous co-op gameplay.
One year after the battle...
The city that had been plagued with crime and violence was safe and peaceful. However, the syndicate destroyed by the brave vigilantes resurrects its evil power. Mr. X, with revenge in his heart, kidnaps Adam, their best friend, to lure them into his trap. Knowing it's a trap, Axel and Blaze, along with Adam's younger brother 'Skate', make a stand to save Adam! ... and to put Mr. X out of action ...
Strangely, special attacks in this game don't cost health to use. You press forward + A + B to execute them.
Axel's Dragon Smash has fire on all of the punches instead of just the last one.

Streets of Rage 2 on the Game Gear is the best port you could expect the system to handle. It does a great job fitting in almost all the moves, although it's weird specials don't cost health. The graphics are colorful and the music's super catchy. Of course, due to limitations you only fight three enemies at once.
