The guide also lets you know the basics you should know about the game and also information about the characters in the game. If you can try to suggest that this guide look better, feel free to add some comments. Now to have a brief intro to the game. The game is the first of three sequels of the series. It all started when a vicious syndicate took over the city as well as everything within the city like the police. So the three rookie cops decided to take down the syndicate with the help of some friends. From the intro of the game: THIS CITY WAS ONCE A HAPPY, PEACEFUL PLACE… UNTIL ONE DAY, A POWERFUL SECRET CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION TOOK OVER. THIS VICIOUS SYNDICATE SOON HAD CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT AND EVEN THE POLICE FORCE. THE CITY HAS BECOME ACENTER OF VIOLENCEAND CRIME WHERE NO ONE IS SAFE.

EVEN THEIRLIVES... ON THE...STREETS OF RAGE I wrote the guide for a few reasons. As i have not written guide for about two month plus, I decided to finish this guide to complete all my SOR series guide as well to refresh this game deep in my mind and also get back some interest back to classical gaming. This game is a one or two player game full of action fighting game that progresses with stages where the plot unfolds as you meet your nemesis; the boss of the organization.This whole series is created and trademark by Sega and licensed by Sega also.

Each time you lose a life,you regain a special attack back. Getting surrounded by enemies ----------------------------- When surrounded move around and don't be a sitting duck for the enemies to surround and beat you up like a pulp.If possible,grab enemies and throw them to hit other enemies to damage them and also you won't get surrounded.You normally die fast because of this. Be smart --------- Sometimes,when the screen moves,move slowly to make some enemies active,take them all out,then get rid of other enemies,this tactic is good for survival in the game.When the boss is going to hit you,just press the special attack button,somehow you won't get hit,it is sort of a glitch where he stands till he get hit by the special attack.

Exit- Exit the options menu ----------------------- 3.2 Enemy List mis4 ----------------------- Name: Galsia Appearance: Wears a jacket (colors varies), jeans, brown shoes and hand pad. Abilities: Normal attacks like punching the character. Personally I think they are great and best of all Galsias in this appearance than among their three appearances of the SOR series. Moves fast so if you don't anticipate it in time, you will often get beaten up by them. Some of them tend to live longer. They also carry all sorts of weapons like knife and pipe in the game. Very commonly found in the game. They also can throw knife and seem to have unlimited knives that they can throw. Name: Signals Appearance: Spike hair (color varies), wears a color vary coats, and brown boots Abilities: Sliding down to attack character, throwing character. To me, he's sliding is the best here among all the series because he can slide very far. Very good at throwing character so maater the UP + C move to counter throwing attacks from them. Name: Electra or Tundra Appearance: Wears a sexy outfit (color varies) and carries a whip and a hat in this game. Abilities: Whipping attack's fast, can also feign death and takes a while before she rises up again which somehow taken away from her in SOR 2 and 3. Also can take damage as her lifespan is quite high. Quite commonly found in the game. Name: Shivas Appearance: Looks like Shiva in SOR2, with long hair. Abilities: His best attribute is speed and jumping. He can jump quite high. When he jumps towards you, chances are high he will do a straight kick towards you. Can also jump in speed also. He also has a surprising move of flying kick towards you with speed as his flying kick is fast and not flying kick high so the chances are quite high that he nails you. Clown: Appearances: Looks like a clown while he does a juggling act Abilities: He juggles some weapons but sometimes juggle nothing. In range, he will throw weapons towards you so take note of that. Also hit away his weapons when he comes near you. If not, you will get damage. Very irritating fellow, but I do miss him in SOR 2 and 3. Don't know while Sega chose to remove him though. Note: Take note that they do not have names, but is found out later in SOR 2 and 3 except for Clown. ------------------------ 3.3 Boss list mis6 ------------------------ Name: Boomer First found in: Stage 1 Boss comment: Quite big size, but in SOR 2 he degraded in power but not variety in attacks Attacks: Can throw knife like broomarang that returns to him. When near, he delivers a kick to the face which is quite damaging. Comment: Just be near him and punch him fast and do the most damaging combos you can dish out. Be slow he will kick you to the face so take note of that. Be offensive and don't let him be offensive or he will dish out some attacks. Easy boss to beat though. Summarise attacks: His attacks: · Knife throwing · Straight kick to the face Difficulty: 1 star out if three stars ---------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Zamza First found in: Stage 2 Boss comment: Quite big size, but in SOR 2 he is still quite powerful with more attacks which I will not cover. Attacks: When near, he does the slashing attack at you. If you jump, he will teleport with slashing attack so don't jump. Comment: If you jump, he will teleport with slashing attack so don't jump.Just be near him and attack him with combos and you will beat him. He can't do anything to you when you are far away from him unlike the first boss. Summarise attacks: His attacks: · Slashing attacks · Teleport in speed Difficulty: 2 star out if three stars ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: ABADEDE First found in: Stage 3 Boss comment: He's also appeared in SOR 2, but more powerful in SOR 2. The size and shape is also still the same except for new moves added to him in SOR 2. Attacks: Once you are in range, he will run towards you and deliver a punch at you. I think it's only attack, but he moves rather fast and when you hit him down, he gets up and retreats quickly so you can say that he best attribute is speed and you must time right to beat him down. Comment: Just lure him to run towards you and then move away or punch him when he exactly near you(timing must be right). Then quicky move back and hit him and slam him with combos and repeat it until you beat him. Only thing you will need to worry about is timing as well as enemies during the boss time. Summarise attacks: His attacks: · Dashing and gives you a punch(straight death) · Move in speed · Grab you and throw you and gives you a dashing punch(straight death) Difficulty: 2 star out if three stars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Name: Big Ben First found in: Stage 4 Boss comment: Found in SOR 2 and 3, but not so powerful than in this game. He's quite powerful, but in SOR 2 and 3, he degraded a bit but has added some new moves for him. Attacks: When he starts to attack, he will stop for a while and open his mouth and move quickly towards you with a flame from his mouth with a range and hits you and do not slam him because he will topple on you and damage you even more so don't bother to grab him and slam him. Comment: Just move towards him and grab him and press attack twice to hit him and then let go and then grab him again and repeat. Very easy boss to beat. When he does his only attack, just move away and find a chance and use the strategy and you will beat him easily. Summarise attacks: His attacks: · Dashing with flame attack (Can kill or damage you badly) · Topple over you when you try to slam him Difficulty: 1 star out if three stars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Mona and Lisa First found in: Stage 5 Boss comment: Found in SOR 3 but this game they are better because they are quite hard to kill and they also have your power of throwing and slamming as well as flying kick. Attacks: Pain in the neck man. They always jump around which is rather difficult to beat them or even damage them. When near you they will throw you or slam you depending on how they grab you. At times they will jump with a flying kick towards you so time may be your enemy yet because they jump around and quite difficult to damage them so do damage them fast though. Comment: Move around and wait for one of them to land and grab her and damage her with combos but at times, but they will grab and throw you so if time is running out, use the special attack which you will have two and keep waiting for them to land down and damage them and you will defeat them. Summarise attacks: Their attacks: · Jump around, quite difficult to damage them · Jump and do a flying kick towards you · Grabs you and throws you · Grabs you and slams you Difficulty: 2 star out if three stars ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Zamza x 2 First found in: Stage 2 Boss comment: Quite big size, but in SOR 2 he is still quite powerful with more attacks which I will not cover. Attacks: When near, he does the slashing attack at you. If you jump, he will teleport with slashing attack so don't jump. Comment: If you jump, he will teleport with slashing attack so don't jump.Just be near him and attack him with combos and you will beat him. He can't do anything to you when you are far away from him unlike the first boss. This time you will meet two of them, which is quite hard. Moreover, they always stick close to each other so when you hit one, the other will hit you. So try to move around and seperate them and take them down one at a time or use the special attack if they are going to hit you because they bring a lot of damage. Summarise attacks: His attacks: · Slashing attacks ( more powerful) · Teleport in speed Difficulty: 2 star out if three stars --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Mr. X First found in: Stage 8 Boss comment: The boss of the syndicate, appear in all SOR series but more involve in SOR and SOR 2. Same pattern of attacks throughout the SOR and SOR 2 with only slight improvement from SOR. Attacks: Stays at the top corner and shoots/sprays bullets all over the place. He also uses weapon to attack character and moves around fast. But most importantly, there's a constant pour of enemies which make it difficult to damage him because you are surrounded by enemies. This is the only stage you can't use a special attack. Comment: Move near to him and hit combos whenever you can. When he sprays bullet, go to the corner where he is to avoid being caught in open fire. Just stick close and damage him and you will defeat him and the game ends with the story which ever choices you choose will constitude to a different ending. Summarise attacks: His attacks: · Stays at a corner and sprays bullets all over the place · Move very fast · Use weapon to attack character · Constant pour of enemies until he's defeated · Weapon hit constitude to straight death Difficulty: 2 star out if three stars **** End of Boss Section***** GGGGGGG U U IIIIIIIIII DDDDDDDDD EEEEEEEEEE G U U I D D E G U U I D D E G U U I D D EEEEEEEEEE G GGG U U I D D E G G U U I D D E GGGGGGGG UUUUUUUU IIIIIIIIII DDDDDDDDDD EEEEEEEEEE -------------------------- 3.4 Game walkthrough mis7 -------------------------- Stage 1: At the start, Galsias will appear so kill them.

I think it's only attack, but he moves rather fast and when you hit him down, he gets up and retreats quickly so you can say that he best attribute is speed and you must time right to beat him down.

Review Section mis7 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- My Genesis Review Story plot: Well the story evolves like this. This city was supposed to be a happy, peaceful, quiet city until a notorious organization took over the city and the once happy city suddenly over night change to a nightmare zone. The whole city is infested with these organization villains after the city has been taken over. Chaos and destruction was everywhere and many area of the city looks abandon. So three rookies cops and with some friends from the police force decided to form a group to take down this organization once and for all. Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding and Adam Hunter decided to fight through the once peaceful city with enemies along the way to finally reach and face the boss of this notorious organization to finally to put the end of this nightmare and regain the happy and peaceful city once again. Gameplay: Quite a fun game to play. You get to grab weapons and lots of interesting goodies along the way. The characters Axel stone, Blaze Fielding and Adam Hunter moves are almost the same except for some normal attack moves. When you use a special attack, a police car arrives and a police man shoots out a bazooka and hit the entire area which is kind of stupid to me though. There are some interesting enemies as well as some bosses like the Signals which looks like wearing the turtle shell, the two females bosses and the fat guys and the knife throwing guys. There are quite a few interesting attack like flame throwing attacks from enemies and knife throwing attacks to view. Controls are easy to master and shouldn't be much of problem to get a grip of this game. Video and Audio: Video: Looks fine to me, although it can still improve and have some unclear images or otherwise looks fine to me and stills needs to fix up on some graphics to make the background and people more realistic. Audio: As far as I am concern, I kind of like the BGMs of this game but the sound effects of weapons and pain needs to fix up upon though. Otherwise it looks fine to me. Replay Value: They need to really make this game with more replay value to this great game though. Lack of replay value can really discourage gamers from buying this game but renting this game is then a different story. Well, this game looks good to me so try this game on the Genesis version of the game as it's one of the great games the system's got to offer. Thanos rulzs best bets: Buy it if you are a fan of this game or a beat 'em up game fan. This is one of the few great game this system got to offer so might as well try this game out by buying or renting this game. Replay value: 4/10 Entertainment: 8/10 Gameplay: 8/10 Video and audio: 8/10 The critics section The pros: * Great game * Nice story line * Cool special attacks * Nice attack moves * Nice Audio * Great entertainment The cons: * Quite a tough game * No replay value * Video not that great * Quite a short game * sound effects not great ********************* *Mega CD review* ********************* I bought this game together with my mega CD when I first bought this system. I quite enjoy it and still play the game whenever I get bored with some new games which I completed. AS you can see, this is sort of a key to unlock my boredom whenever I get bored with my new game systems as an alternative solution(classical gaming). I still play and enjoy this game despite this game being outdated for a long time. Now I shall talk about the game. Story plot: Well the story evolves like this. This city was supposed to be a happy, peaceful, quiet city until a notorious organization took over the city and the once happy city suddenly over night change to a nightmare zone. The whole city is infested with these organization villains after the city has been taken over. Chaos and destruction was everywhere and many area of the city looks abandon. So three rookies cops and with some friends from the police force decided to form a group to take down this organization once and for all. Axel Stone, Blaze Fielding and Adam Hunter decided to fight through the once peaceful city with enemies along the way to finally reach and face the boss of this notorious organization to finally to put the end of this nightmare and regain the happy and peaceful city once again. Game play: Like it's genesis counterpart, nothing has change to the game in terms of game play.You get to grab weapons and lots of interesting goodies along the way. The characters Axel stone, Blaze Fielding and Adam Hunter moves are almost the same except for some normal attack moves. When you use a special attack, a police car arrives and a police man shoots out a bazooka and hit the entire area which is kind of stupid to me though. There are some interesting enemies as well as some bosses like the Signals which looks like wearing the turtle shell, the two females bosses and the fat guys and the knife throwing guys. There are quite a few interesting attack like flame throwing attacks from enemies and knife throwing attacks to view. The characters have wide variety of moves and the thugs have different fighting styles and can use weapons. The enemy I like most is the clown who not only juggles weapons and also throws at you!!:) Controls: The game's controls are easy to navigate, as well as the charaters' moves are easy to do, just take a while before you are the master of controls of the game so play along and can used to it. HEhehe. Difficulty: The game's quite tough in terms of enemies and bosses. The enemies are quite aggressive although the damage is not much but wait till you can surrounded by thugs then you will find it challenging.The bosses in the other hand, is also tough. Why? Their attacks are damaging, some of them can kill you instantly like Mr.X weapon attack. But you will find it fun and challenging as a gamer though. video and audio Like the gensis version, they are the same and there's no change in this area of aspect. Video: Looks fine to me, although it can still improve and have some unclear images or otherwise looks fine to me and stills needs to fix up on some graphics to make the background and people more realistic. Audio: As far as I am concern, I kind of like the BGMs of this game but the sound effects of weapons and pain needs to fix up upon though. Otherwise it looks fine to me. I kind of like the stage 2 BGM though. Replay Value: Like the genesis version, there's no change, I think they should have secret characters to unlock or other options to unlock to improve this game. They need to really make this game with more replay value to this great game though. Lack of replay value can really discourage gamers from buying this game but renting this game is then a different story. Thanos rulzs best bets: Buy it if you are a fan of this game or a beat 'em up game fan. This is one of the few great game this system got to offer so might as well try this game out by buying or renting this game.
