Yo, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Ahoy there me lads and lasses. It’s me again yer friendly app pirate ready to give ye another app review that me know ye are waiting for. There are several apps that me can play on mobile devices now. But sometimes, me still want to play the classic games that me used to play when I was a little lad. Playing those old games again give that sense of happiness because of the nostalgia. Since me feeling old school today, I will share with ye a game that me used to play before that is now available to be played on mobile devices. It’s called Street of Rage Classic by Sega. Avast ye and let’s begin.
It’s nostalgic
The original video game was first released in 1991 and it was available in various platforms like Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox. If you played this game before, you will be taken back to the past when you play this app. It’s the same game but only played with your mobile device. Playing the game gives that nostalgic feel.
Classic graphics and music
It will bring you back to the pixel graphics that is somewhat refreshing at this time when you get used to the modern 3D graphics of the new games. Although using pixel graphics, the color and details are still there. The upbeat music and the sound effects also add to the enjoyment of playing the game. You will feel into the action because of what you hear.
The controls can be hard to use
The left side of the game window has the control for moving the character in different directions. On the right side are the letters A, B and C that correspond to various moves like jump. Hitting those controls individually is not a problem. However, there are times that you need to press two buttons at the same time to make a move, and that’s the challenging part. It’s not impossible to do, but it’s difficult and takes a lot of practice.
It has several ads that play long
The app is free to download and play. However, the ads can be intrusive. They show up several times like when you pause the game, or move to the next stage. The ads also take about 30 seconds to play each. It can affect the gameplay because you can lose your momentum.
Thumbs up
It’s free to play and it’s nostalgic. It bring you back to the past, and gives you the same experience as the classic game. The background music and sounds are also upbeat.
Thumbs down
There are several ads that play for 30 seconds, and it can also be difficult to use the controls when you need to hold or press two buttons at the same time.
The verdict
Street of Rage Classic is highly recommended for the 90s kids who have played this classic Sega game before. It’s the same game that you used to know but now on your mobile device. There may be several ads, but since it’s free, and nostalgic, you can still enjoy playing it.
