Join Axel, Blaze, Skate, and Max on a daring rescue mission that will take them from the city to a desolate island. Experience the only 'good' ending in the series, where Mr. X is defeated and Adam is rescued. With its acclaimed design by Kataru Uchimura, Ayano Koshiro, and Mikito Ichikawa, and music by Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima, Streets of Rage 2 is considered one of the best games of all time.
