Streets Of Rage 3 (Bare Knuckles 3) - Stage 1:

Streets of Rage 3 (Bare Knuckles 3) - Stage 1:

“Let’s visit the third game , but this time, I will talk about the japanese version. This is one of the most controversial games of the series, because the japanese version and the main version, have some changes like: the difficulty and some controversial choices in characters and designs. The main version is a censored version of the japanese game, and with a higher difficulty. Honestly, I prefer the “Bare Knuckles”, aka japanese version way better. It’s an easier game, and some of the designs and characters don’t bother me at all. As a gay guy myself, a character like Ash (who’s meant to be a stereotype of a gay man) doesn’t bother me at all. He’s very camp and iconic. Love him so much. The other changes are in the design of some of the girls. They wear less risky clothes in the censored version, even tho their outfits in the previous two games were sexy as well.

Streets of Rage 2 may have the more iconic stages and music, but this game has the superior gameplay. This is the easiest Streets of Rage game for me to comeback because of it, and I would even claim it’s my favorite one but Streets of Rage 4 appeared and currently owns my heart.

Either way, this is a decent way to start this game. It’s a simple level with a lot of enemies to deal with and some interesting bosses to deal with. Shiva as the first boss fight is so scary, but he’s not that hard.”
