This 2 player side scrolling beat 'em' up is a pure classic. You can choose up to 3 characters to play from knee flying Axel, fast kicking Adam and athletic Blaze. The story of the game is you play as 3 rogue cops who fight through the rough streets of New York to fight the criminal underworld.
The fighting in this game is very basic but perfect for the Sega Genesis controll pads. It was one of the first games on the Genesis where you can actually pick up weapons off the ground, and hit your enemies with them. Weapons included a baseball bat, a metal pipe, a knife (that you can also throw) and a beer bottle that can be used to smash over the enemies head and then stab them with it. The game also has a trancy 80's soundtrack and very humorous sound effects. Such as, enemies screaming, Axel shouting loudly when performing his famous flying knee kick, women screeching and glass bottles being smashed over goons heads. This is a very fun game to play, even better with a friend. This was one of my favourite games when I was young (and still is today), which I have cleared about 30 times. For me it brings back a lot of childhood memories.
