Streets of Rage 3

THE GOOD:
Ability to run around
Ability to dodge up and down
Weapons now have a durability meter
Ability to play as Shiva!

THE BAD:
Level designs are familiar
Axel's uppercut move significantly weaker
Lackluster storyline

SUMMARY:
I didn't play this game until recently. The storyline is roughly that things are going wrong again in the city and it's up to you to put it right. Again you can play as Axel and Blaze like you've always been able to. You can also play as Skate from Streets of Rage 2, but now there's Zan who replaces Max from the previous game. The majority of the moves are similar but now you have the ability to dodge up and down as well as being able to run. When running you can also jump further, which is handy for launching at your opponents from afar.

One thing that I was disappointed in was the shortness of the game. I seemed to be able to get through it in no time. There were fewer levels, but more parts...
