Which franchise do you think is the best of beat 'em up titles? Final Fight? Streets of Rage?? Double Dragon??? The Warriors????I vouch for Streets of Rage. Call it a Final Fight ripoff if ya want...it's far better than it.
it's very appealing, people enjoy the "SOR" series.i was brought up on that game. and to this day i still play it.i also was "long ago"an employee of sega.http://www.myspace.com/streetsofrage123

I really liked Batman Returns for the SNES. Yeah, that was when I was a little kid and stuff .BATTLETOIDS FOR SNES OF COURSE. Fucking hardest game ever.Also, and for the N64, there was a 3D beat em all where you could pick two women (agile, fast, weak) the balanced guy and the typical strong dude. I can't recall it's name right now...
Beat Em Up games get pretty boring after awhile if you ask me. The Simpsons was pretty bad. But since this is about GOOD beat em ups. I liked Captain Commando and TMNT: Turtles in Time.

This game not only had three sequels but it had multiple endings, and inspired a rockband to use its title as a name for their band. It is a cult classic and was years beyond it's time as a beat em up.And WHY was this game not mentioned, at the very least? Spoiler, click to toggle visibiltyStreets of rage/Bare knuckle is alright but I had more fun playing comix zone to be honest.Let us not forget the game maximum carnage and separation anxiety as well. Those may not be the best but at least they were noteworthy.There is also sengoku, golden axe, and knights of the round for people who were interested in folklore games.
Sengoku was good..The Warriors is a fun game at times..But personally I like nearly all Beat Em Up games..Soo yeah..

Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 were very good. They were extremely difficult though. That's probably one of the reasons why the games didn't sell well. Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble killed this franchise. It's kinda sad.
