Is it still worth playing?

A side scrolling brawler for the Game Gear, in which you fight waves of enemies and pick up weapons and items on the way, based on the 1992 Sega Genesis game of the same name. It has better controls and more moves than the handheld version of the first Streets of Rage. The levels differ from the 16 bit game, there are fewer of them, the graphics are simpler and the enemies' names are not shown. Max Thunder, the slow but powerful wrestler, is left out. It came out in August 1993. A brawler cut down to fit a handheld still has its fights.
