Streets of Rage Remake

You’ve probably heard about this remake. Let me just tell you that it’s as awesome as people are saying. This game lets you play as all the characters from all three Genesis Streets of Rage games, through all the levels… and it’s all wrapped up in a brand new adventure.
The game combines graphics from the original games with new artwork and effects (the reflections and shadows are a nice touch), and it fits together quite well. The music consists of tweaked out versions of the original soundtrack. There are also loads of nifty features like co-op with an AI partner, unlockable modes, a movie room, and player profiles.
Just download the damn thing already. And post links to mirrors or torrents in the comments. The game is ~72 megs and the site’s already gone down at least once.
P.S. I love that screenshot. Zan punching a clown, with blood spurting out and the kangaroo hopping around. Only in video games!
A few working mirrors can be found in this thread on their forum.

It is awesome, so professional. Highly recomended although is does crash every now and then which isn’t good for a game in which you cannot save, I hope they work these bugs out soon.
I wish I was just a little bit better at this. The game itself is awesome fun. The fighting system seems a lot faster than I remember the originals being, every attack flows together nicely. There seems to be a healthy dose of unlockables too. The old Clown/Kangaroo trick works, but it didn’t unlock anything, so maybe the game itself has to be completed.
Or maybe he isn’t one of the 2 secret characters. My money is definitely on Shiva being one of them.
What happened to the Derek Yu who scolded people for using unlicensed IPs?
Replaced by the Derek Yu that likes to beat up kangaroos with a cyborg fist. ;)
