RadarPlays - Streets of Rage 3

Some beat ‘em up fans swear by Final Fight as the best series in the genre, but anyone that owned a Genesis/Mega Drive knows that the true king of the brawler is the Streets of Rage franchise. GamesRadar’s most retro editors--for the record that’s Henry, Ryan, and Lucas--recently booted up the oddball third entry in the series for this special RadarPlays. Why is a cyborg wizard helping cops fight gangsters? This video won’t answer that, but it’s a lot of fun anyway.

Want to hang out with GamesRadar's editors while taking a look at retro games, new releases, and totally random experiences? RadarPlays is for you. Mondays we'll be checking out blasts from the past on RadarPlays Retro, Wednesdays we change things up to whatever we feel like playing with RadarPlays Shuffle, and Friday is packed with the strangest titles you’ve never (hopefully) heard of in RadarPlays Freaky. We'll also release RadarPlays for all the new releases, so be sure to check back!
