It was a HUGE game when it came out, it did not just become a cult classic. It topped all sales charts for months in the US, Europe and Worldwide. Many vote it the best Genesis/Megadrive game of all time. People still love it today because of how good it was and the music back in the day.

He wrote his own audio drivers for this game, his sister did the artwork for the characters. Massive respect to that family.

I have been obsessed with this game's soundtrack my ENTIRE EFFING LIFE. It makes me so happy whenever I see someone recognize the glory.
@gabrielprandini2629
Not only a cool soundtrack, it's one of the best beat'em up of all time

Yuzo is the reason I became a composer at all, but you are the only person to cover anything of his like this. Thank you. This whole game is one of the reasons I ever wanted to be a video game composer or make music. Your video is so appreciated. Thank you for covering Yuzo Koshiro. :D

Glad to see people discovering this 32 years later. Streets of Rage is and always has been the greatest OST since its release.

SoR1 was HUGE here in Brazil, then came SoR2 and every boy from every rental game station at every city played it to the exhaustion. A masterpiece
@seanybzebra
I played it back in the day. The game play slapped, the music slapped. Then I rebought a sega mega drive to play it again 5 years ago, and it was still awesome! Pure epicness.

Yuzo Koshiro showed the world what the Sega Sound Chip could do, and this was one of those games that was absolute perfection all around.
@BunnychanFarabee
It's so adorable seeing newer generations discover classic house and techno for the first time. Yuzo Koshiro was an apt student of the early Chicago and Detroit underground dance scenes, and conveyed that energy perfectly in the SoR soundtracks.
@SemiSpook37
31 years later...this soundtrack still slaps. It is truly a masterpiece.

This game on Sega had a settings option that listed all the songs in a list and you could pick and choose them to listen. I would turn this cartridge on just to listen to the music sometimes. I’m so happy to see this video! Thanks.
@ziggamon
Yuzo had NO BUISNESS going this hard on a Sega Genesis game in 1992! This dude made legit club bangers. This game was the soundtrack of my childhood in the early 90s. Like if you want to know how the early 90s sounded and felt, listen to this OST.
@foamige
Man I hope Yuzo Koshiro sees this video and remembers fond memories composing this score. What a genius this guy is.
@onecentman
It's awesome seeing someone discover and appreciate this soundtrack that I've enjoyed for nearly 30 years
@DownUnder43
Street of Rage 2 back than was extremely popular dude, because I remember everyone talking about this game back than and everyone wanted to play it. Still is one of the best selling games of that Era.
@richbaker8211
Streets of Rage 2 was a HUGE part of not just my childhood, but my life as a whole! The music has always been iconic, and I love seeing someone react to it for the first time, but that also understands the sheer complexity of it, but knowing that the complexity doesn’t diminish the musicality
@shaunmaness5391
Watching the pure, unadulterated joy this man is experiencing with one of my all-time favorite game soundtracks is so unbelievably wholesome. I wish I had a fraction of the musical knowledge he does to articulate WHY this music resonates.
@gabusoo
I was born in 1984. I used to beat this game literally every effing Saturday morning for like 4 or 5 years. It's the best beat'em up in history, and together with Sonic 1 and 2 the game I've replayed the most times in my life. Its soundtrack is truly a gem, my favourite track being Dreamer 😍
