History YMMV / StreetsOfRageRemake

* SugarWiki/BetterThanCanon: The remake essentially combines the best parts of all 3 games, and has even remixed music, all while staying true to the look and feel of the original games.

* BetterThanCanon: The remake pretty much combines the best parts of all 3 games, and has even better music, while staying true to the original.

* GoddamnedBats: The martial artists are even worse than in the original, as some will land on their feet if you try to knock them down. And yes, ''they can avoid being knocked into/thrown into a pit'' by [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard refusing to let themselves be inched towards the pit]].

** Diesel, a trucker-like foe in the City Hall area that carries a bottle. If, when you first meet him, he throws the bottle and smashes it against your face, consider yourself very, ''very'' lucky. Outside of this ''extremely'' rare attack, his only strategy is using kicks that instantly knock you down, and the bottle he carries can be used to ''[[OhCrap restore his health if he keeps drinking from it]]''. Just to spite you further, if he gets knocked off screen, he ''will'' drink while off screen so you can't hit him! Oh, and he never drops the bottle until you kill him, which then [[UnusableEnemyEquipment causes the bottle to shatter]].

* GoodBadBugs: If you want to easily make some extra money then beat the game once normally. Anytime you finish the game, for one time only, the game won't penalize you for using the stage select cheat. Set the difficulty to mania, go to the final stage where the bomb is active, and in three minutes the place will blow, netting you at least 15 thousand(using stage select usually penalizes you to the point this bonus is negated). For maximum benefit start in the bonus room, which has gold worth 10 thousand points. After you leave that room you'll start at the beginning of the building, where you'll have to try and find that randomly chosen room again, and you can keep going in and out of that room again and again until the place explodes. Even if you don't find it again the mania bonus is still worth it by itself.
* HilariousInHindsight: This game includes variations of the heroes from every game, complete with their respective sprites as options. The very same kind of option later got officially touted as a feature for ''4'', on top of bringing back Max, Skate and Dr. Zan in sprite form by default when playing as them, and making Shiva playable outside of ''Remake'' itself.
** Electra is given more importance here, actually becoming a secret playable character. When ''4'' eventually got released, it's ''Nora'' (the character she originally replaced in canon) who received an expanded role as a boss instead, while Electra herself was briefly considered to return, only to be scrapped in the end.
* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: ''Remake'' probably wouldn't be as known if SEGA hadn't dropped the {{Fanwork Ban}}hammer on it. Some have even speculated that, given the timing of the C&D, SEGA quietly approved of ''Remake'' and let it spread a little before officially banning it. Although the game is no longer hosted on Bomber Games' website, nothing stops you from just looking up sites that mirror the game or asking a friend who has it to send you a copy.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: {{Invoked|Trope}}; the arrangers deliberately made the similarities to the music Yuzo Koshiro sampled for his compositions ''even more'' apparent here (ex. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqnkrLH6fPE "Fighting in the Street"]] throws in a few extra notes from Technotronic's "Pump Up the Jam" during its hook, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afImHqplAcU "Slow Moon"]] features a backing piano line taken straight from Music/AceOfBase's "All That She Wants" while making the saxophone more prominent, etc.). As blatant as it is, the effect serves to make the remixes [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic that much more awesome]].

** Version 4 introduced ''Super'' Shiva, who, along with palette swaps of some earlier bosses, had to be beaten within a certain time limit. If the time runs out? No retries, no continues, BadEnding, smashed keyboard. Version 5 excised him, although another path you can take in the game, based off of ''Streets of Rage 3''[='s=] bomb situation from Stage 6, has you fight ''[=SOR3=]''!Shiva, who is even MORE aggravating than ''[=SOR2=]''!Shiva, whom Super Shiva was a sprite edit of. Super Shiva was also playable in version 4, and was quite the GameBreaker (he had both a ''[[Franchise/StreetFighter Hadouken and a Shoryuken]]'', for God's sake).
** Rudra. Moves extremely fast, throws ninja stars to attack from a distance, can hit you several times in place, and lands on her feet if you toss her backwards. Once her life bar is down to half, she'll start creating illusions of herself where they all can do the same attacks but die in a single hit. Oh and every time she sends out the clones, they all come crashing down, hitting you every time unless you can see when they are going to appear and either dodge or use a special attack to cut through the attack. When Rudra's life bar is nearly gone, the clones increase in numbers and ''THEY EXPLODE'' when killed.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some fans have expressed disappointment over how ''[=SOR3=]''[='s=] levels have been implemented in the remake, as they were scattered over several paths instead of having their own straight one, like those for ''1'' and ''2''. Thankfully there is a mod you can install for the [=SorMaker=] that lets you play through the ''[=SOR3=]'' stages as they were in ''[=SOR3=]''.
* UnexpectedCharacter: [[spoiler:Mr. X, the Big Bad, as well as Elle, an Electra clone from [=SOR2=], both with extended movesets.]]

* BreatherBoss: One of the alternate jungle stages ends on a fight with Jack. While the fight is tricky since you're riding a motorboat, it's much easier compared to [[ThatOneBoss what follows]] and in other routes.
