This is the first and only VC title i have, and i love it. for some reason i havnt seen a word about it on this site so i thought id bring it up. Think of this as a wanna be review..

STORY
A Post apocoliptic city that has bin over run by gangsters and corruption; and you.. yes only you (unless you rok 2 player) can stop it.

GAMEPLAY
You get to choose from 3 characters, 2 guys and 1 ass kicking chick, there atributes dont varry that much from eachother but when in the game there movements and fighting style are original to each personality. with the Wii remote turned on its side to mimic a Nes controler, button 1 makes the player jump and button 2 attacks, you may think that this would limit the amount of diferent moves you can dish out but surprisenly 2 buttons of joy can create an arsnel of pain 4 your enemy. They range from punch combos to flying kicks, body slams to fully throwing the enemy across the screen, you can even team up in 2 player to do a niffty throw fly kick thingy thing, also the magic A button will freeze all the enemys around you while a police squad car drives on screen, the passenger chucks a bazooker on his arm and lets it rip.. this will cause every bad guy on screen to die instantly.. unless it is a Boss =(

The game is not that easy, in fact i havnt bin able to clock it yet, but i have on my Sega years ago.. must hav gotten too used to all that 3D ****. Anyways the stages have a scroling system going on so ba

>>>so basically you walk your way down a long never ending straight stage/s, kicken gangsta ass untill you reach the boss at the end (of each stage i think theres around 9 or 10), i have to complain about these bosses tho, cos some are just damn hard! and are imposible to beat without looseing at least a couple presious lives, which gets frustrating.. but i guess there must be a trick to it (thats a challenge to all you VCers owt there).. the enemy constantly gets harder and larger in number, there are quite a few bad guys to face and it can be really hard to stay on top of them when there in large packs (lucky the A.I in 91 was rather limited) another cool feature which adds to the combatt enjoyment factor, is the use of weapons which can be found in the streets or stolen off weakass enemys, they can range from knives, broken bottels, baseball bats, big polls and even stun gas!

This game is basic but its GOOD basic, loads of fun espeshialy with 2 player (ive even got my misses into it!) It is GTA at its most primitive, but to tell you the truth id rather play Streets of rage than another bull**** GTA clone! it has lastability if you find it hard to make it thru the game with out loosing to many lives because then you wont clock it easilly and it will become one of those games that you wont rest untill you triumf over it.. (like take that you 2d mutha**** yea! you aint got nuthen on the 21st century, WE RUN THIS!!) if your the type that gets carried away t

>>>that is.. graphics are sweet for a 91, sketchy but cummon why would you care? you own a Wii, not a PS3. Sound.. there are sum all good tunes for a few of the stages but otherwise the sound is as oldschool as pokemon.

gameplay - 4/5
fun factor - 4/5
lastability - 2.7/5
graphics - 3/5

Dude this is a great review. Copy/paste it into the review section (if we offer VC titles to review). It's definetely more than just a "wannabe" review.
