Streets of Rage for the Game Gear is a semi-faithful port of Sega's beloved Genesis classic. Although it removes Adam, some stages, and some attacks, it gives a semblance of Streets' gameplay and challenge. It also features simultaneous 2-player co-op action. Its OST is a combination of tracks from Streets of Rage 1 and 2.

The Master System version is actually different than this game. The combos work better and you can play as Axel.

Streets of Rage on the Game Gear is basically the Master System version except it's lacking Adam, grab-attacks don't exist, and the basic combo is strangely difficult to pull off. Therefore, it's the worst version of Streets, but it's still great for a Game Gear game. The music is as catchy as ever and features a few new tracks.
