Stage 8: Streets of Rage 2 Music

[clance619]

fuck mr x

[myjanuary151987]

I was 5 y.o in 1992. Damn, time is too ruthless for me.

[Warpony9000]

Yes. This track which was also used at the opening of the game is very amazing. I am very pleased that back in the day, my sister would join because of Blaze. Sega never discriminated against female gamers. Such a classy tune for the last stage before confronting Shiva and X.

[XGereas]

@Warpony9000 Classy eh? See Blaze's outfit?

[GalsiaDonovan]

Nostalgia just kicked me right in the face

[aalyahahmed]

god a wish was a kid again man when a clocked this game a was on top of the world and a even still play it till this day seriously wish i could go back t them days !!!!!!!

[Ukaran]

Everything about this level(the scenario, the enemies, and this music) practically scream "This is it, this is the end. It's everything or nothing now".

I love this game.

[ThePTB]

For those of you that don't know, Yuzo Koshiro modeled this song almsot entirely off of the band Enigma's song "Sadeness."

[Sensaye25]

Wow. This game was so dope. I miss those days. Back then if you beat a game in two player mode with another person, it made you friends for life. lol. It was like you actually saved the world together.

[RellDetroit]

Yes this brings back those Genesis memories, my all time....and when i say ALL TIME ending genesis track was the Ending Credits E-SWAT!!!!!

[thegeezerdan]

Hardest boss in the game mr x.

[tjcco2005]

@thegeezerdan I think you mean that big ass boxer on the ship. X was slow and all he did was hide behind his goons and shoot at you. The boxer was fast and powerful

[thegeezerdan]

@tjcco2005 Yeah r bear is really hard.

[poo9857]

Damn!! Well time to go load up the old nes :) #nostalgic

[Zerokyrael]

@poo9857 it was a Sega Genesis game ^.- just thought I'd save you the trouble of digging threw boxes for one console just to need a diff one :p

[mellavelli]

hahaha 2 couldn't defeat the endboss

[Bigbadbeef56]

Time to learn this song on piano...

[Spyro9876]

It was crazy fighting the same guys all over again but that was the best part about that stage!

[ygrecs]

Can't wait for street of rage remake.

[JimmyLeeXVL]

3 people accidentally hit thumbs down....

[hippopcrazy]

1:35 to 2:12 is my fav part of the song

[b03li]

when we made it me and my friend to this stage i told him : this is it .... the final stage

lol

[Calyptico]

good old days when music composers remixed music from prequels, one of the best ways to create the connection with those and give an epic nostalgic feeling...

[losthybrid72]

This comes to mind when i think of Streets of Rage

[Jeiygo]

@Blackfettsinopaa I strongly agree, the 3 people that disliked this should very quickly be taken into the cell set up to trap Adam! This instrumental on this game was the best! Those 3 people are weird, stupid, at fault to be misunderstood or possibly seriously taken drugs- if you know any little update on Streets of Rage let me know! ;)

[BlackfeetSinopaa]

The 3 people that disliked this were quickly Shiva kicked into the cell that Adam was in.

[0Nero1]

Awesome track wish it was longer.

[YoungMattRich]

@Gunloc I agree

[VegaRulezSF]

they will risk everything even they're lives on the.....STREETS OF RAGE

[duckie4lifeENT]

YO I Get SOOOO Hyped When I get to this Stage and Havnt Burnd any continues lol

[Dennissays]

Why do developers now a days not pay enough attention to music? I understand that development costs are WAY higher now but Street Fighter is the only game off hand (as well as MGS series) that didn't forget about music.

[xXRazorfistXx]

@Dennissays

Well obviously you don't know your games. There's LOADS of games that put a lot of consintration into their music. Look at Shatter for example, that game's soundtracks all kick-ass. There's many, many more than just the two games you said.

[GoliathGrowler]

Anyone notice that it sounds almost exactly like the theme that plays during the bad ending in the first game? Vote up this comment if you do.

[GunLoc]

1:16-1:35 is the best music of the whole game

[LoneWolff82]

@GunLoc nope 1:36-2:14

[handofnod]

yeh i love that part; it's wicked.

[dss103]

Bare Knuckle! or actually "bearaa Tha thua!"

[decimalss]

Call me a geek but i'm honored to have this game as one of the best things in my childhood.

[VegaRulezSF]

@decimalss me too

[guishe12]

RARE??? fuckin noobs.. this is MUSIC! ... ignorance..

[Ninjax1992]

ahh memory's.... back to when the game all started and the last level really didnt want such a game to end :( was and is 1 of the best games i will ever play in my life :) this game is legend :)

[duckie4lifeENT]

Everytime I get to this Stage and I havnt used any continues I get SO hyped lol Street of RAGE BABIE!!

[Elite1919]

What a tune replay DJ

[AndreWr1980]

This theme was epic, yet had a sense of finality to it. Like it's the hero's swan song, because you weren't gonna survive the encounter

[OneFourThreeFourOne]

This brings back a shitload of memories.

[Danfrombackhome]

This was the best music for the last level. It was like the end of a journey music. It was stellar. I still love this game.

[andrewsutherland2002]

I loved SoR2! But they stole part of their soundtrack from Enigma.

[GunLoc]

Did sounds like the begin theme of SoR 1

[devmiles]

almost all the youtube clips with SOR music have these pops and glitches .. very very bad, should not be

[GregoryPunzo]

@devmiles thats because their all using emulators. i have an original sega genesis that has the best sound out of all the other models. once i get my new comp i'll b uploading all the music and there won't be any glitches or pops

[oxe161]

@GregoryPunzo yea emulators are a fun way to play old games with new mods or sumthing. BUt most of the time the quality drops, or the rom stops, or it slows down. But the real things are much better. Being a teenager and liking old games nowadays is not so easy :(

[juduking]

It sounds like a 90s porno song

[JuggernautDr]

@juduking LMAO

[AceofDlamonds]

awesome I remember this......but it was the demo on Smash Pack so I heard it a little different.

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

no wait-it sounds more like the metroid fusion theme...i'm confused.

[gronndar]

i quess i have to agree with you a little. first 20 seconds remind a little metroid main theme

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

omg!the begining sounds like the metroid theme from nes!omg!

[DonFooley]

demoy

[Nightavenger2]

Masterpiece video game with a excellent soundtrack. Most of the music sounds techno. Love the baseball stadium theme. I love all themes in this video game.

[neptronix]

listen closely to the intro.. lots of popping noise across the track, badly recorded.. retake this one!

[Wezwez77]

Awesome series. I actually went and bought a mega drive 2 on Ebay just so I could play these games again. The graphics are crap, but I dont care, the gameplay was addictive, and the music still gives me a buzz. This is my childhood all over again:)

[rrerablade]

You can now play these on the Xbox 360 thru download or purchase Sonic's Mega Collection which has all three Streets of Rages. These are the best beat'em ups ever.

[Wezwez77]

Cheers fella. I bought the Mega Collection. Oh I have had some fun with those games.

[rrerablade]

Good job!!! It's on of the best compilation disc to come out. I just hope they make one with original NES games. That would make my decade.

[GreatStalin]

@Wezwez77 The graphics are in no way 'crap'!

[forthehelluvit]

reminds me of "keep on movin" by soul 2 soul!

[maddscratcher]

man this is the music of my childhood!!!!

[ningeaBLADEclanuBECA]

lol,the first seconds sound like the begining of the super metroid prologue,intro:))))

[mopbrothers]

This is a very dramatic theme. It basically says, "There's gonna be a very violent fight, and there isn't a shred of humor about it. It's VERY serious."

[Shadow87Rage]

Damn straight!! Epic put some gloves on, an energy drink (Jolt in the 90s) and frown in the face of danger...cause there's gonna be blood split....and it ain't gonna be yours!!

[exiled925]

Put the game on maniac, I could never beat it. Fucking love this game.

[Gamersupreme]

pick skate, spam his dash attack, it might kill quickly but it hits multiple targets n a row and if u hold the attack button whil u hit enemies when u land release and he'll hit the opponents around u so u wont be left open

[mhaze210]

its weird how some people automatically call people "nerds" or "dorks" for liking video games...if thats the case than i guess i am one.

Its just weird because myself and most of u, grew up with games...wasnt the ONLY thing we enjoyed, but they grew WITH us...advanced with us.

and this kind of music actually got me into Hip Hop..like A Tribe Called Quest, Rakim, Pete Rock, Wu Tang, Slum Village...its just so nostalgic.

feels like games like this are just in my blood lol. the history.

[icedem34]

u remind me of me . 2 reasons. 1 i luv video gamesz (PS3) . 2 i like ol skool music waYYY better than new skool. music. now in these days music dont make sense 2 me

[forthehelluvit]

better than growing up on "halo" or whatever. we were lucky to be around when games started getting good

[That70sGamer1]

@forthehelluvit I'm 12 and HATE Halo and CoD. I'm happy I started with PS1 not, PS3. I like old games better:)

[exodia3k3]

this is.....'now push it....with everything you got'....find that extra energy to own the rest of these punk asses and find a nice big can of 'i am gonna whoop your ass Mr.X'

[unymitsu]

wow neva thought id hear this again, its one of my fav songs from this game

[MrShotgun43]

This tune really gives you a feeling that you're almost to the end.

[LingEntityNoobi]

it does LOL.......I feel like it's the last level when I hear this.......it sounds laid back but in a end of movie sort of way...

[maelstrom8300]

Oh how I adore this game

[swissb3ats]

Skate all day!

[ASSASINATORpro]

Best final stage music I've ever heard.

[VexanRFM]

Damn, this music OWNS, Using Street Of Rage 1's Opening theme Remixed -Wich gives Street Of Rage 2's opening and Final Stage music- Masterpiece, good Job Yuzo.

[TheWatcherBis]

It reminds me SoR's title theme, it's as deep and moving. Thank you mister Koshiro

[Antechrist29]

My favourite music in this game :)

[l4zy415]

I love this mellow music.

[vertigox64]

Yuzo Koshiro = God.

That is all you need to know about anything ever.

[NickSCFC]

@vertigox64 True, wish his music was in more new games :(

[VegasAcer]

@vertigox64 Yes, brilliant man.

[xXRazorfistXx]

Would be good for laying out bars, good line up and timing. The creator of the Streets of Rage music was truly unique in every aspect.

[EATPROTEINgetHUGeRus]

best video game sountrack ever

[3rdEYEbeHolder]

Kicks the shit outta the Halo monks chant doesn't it

[EATPROTEINgetHUGeRus]

whoah hold it now.... I wouldnt be talking shit about steve vai now....Both songs are pretty equal. equally badass that is. I would give it the edge over halo, but halo certainly does not suck seeing how steve vai is playing guitar.

[breakdown2218]

concur'd

[RossiDelPiero]

I concur.

[Luxgp]

i like this music is sow cool man^^

[Sandroaraponga]

My favorite game in megadrive. good memories man

[JackBestie]

I hate the wrestler boss albadade something like that. he's such a pain in the ass!

Especailly on this level

[thesniper321]

no if you spend your time GRABBING him he's a piece of cake

[JackBestie]

kk i'll try that thanks for the advice!

[Gamersupreme]

who do u play with

if u pick skate just use his drill kick followed by a neutral special and he is EASY!!! axel just spam the "grand upper" blaze spame her FFA attack, and Max use his rushing shouler smash move but skate is the best to me for the game period

[JackBestie]

skate mostly

[floresed]

It is so awesome how Yuzo Koshiro took his first composition from the first Streets of Rage and mixed it for Streets of Rage 2s last stage. Brilliant!!!!

[DrakoLord19]

The game is amazing and the tracks are just awesome...this song takes me back

[handofnod]

ok i keep listening from 1:36 to 2:13

that is too good.

[jomar500]

If I remember, I think this was the title screen music, right?

[Gamersupreme]

title screen music for SoR1 if i remember correctly but good ears lol

[jomar500]

Thanks for the "good ears" compliment. lol

[Gamersupreme]

no u were right it was the screen music for SoR2 and no problem

[thesniper321]

it's a remix of stage 8 music in street of rage 1 ;)

[TheDudeJay]

what can i say that this track hasn't already said for me? simply amazing considering it's era

[d0wntempo]

Such great memories come to mind when I hear this music. This is indeed one of the best theme done for the megadrive, and a more elaborate version of the one from SOR1. Very cool jazzy tune.

[MacavityF]

This particular track is arguably the greatest piece ever written for the Genesis. I'm still in awe how much quality was pumped out of the system's pathetic synthesizer.
