Bare Knuckle 3 also features a Very Hard mode which is missing from SOR3. SOR3's bosses often have several life stars more than their BK3 counterparts. Significantly, Bare Knuckle 3 is much easier than SOR3 - it is comparable to SOR2's difficulty. But that's exactly what made the first two games such all-time classics its 2 player mode. But as soon as some friends come over to play some Streets of Rage with you, Streets of Rage 3 just isn't an option: It is just too frustrating for someone who doesn't know the game too well.

Now, going through this game over and over again until you master it is still possible of course - if you're sitting home alone with your Genesis all day.

Imagine if for the US release of Super Mario they would remove all power ups. Of all the many many disgusting things they did to the game in the US, this is by far the worst. There even are less items to refill your life bar! - All of this without having any special move at all! You're just thrown out there on level 0 and every single time you earned enough points to reach level 1, you die and loose your special move _AND_ your score counter gets reset. Now, in SoR3 you have to deal with this insanely difficult game where even the most basic enemy is faster and stronger than you. In the Japanese version, you earn star after star and basically stay on level 2 or level 3 through the entire game. Remember that this is not a shmup, but a multi-player brawler.ДЄnyway, its difficulty itself isn't the actual problem: When 'adjusting' (read: fucking up) the difficulty, and even though they had like 3000 beta testers that all get to be mentioned in SoR3's credits (no joke!), they obviously did not consider. But Streets of Rage 3 is so hard that it is just ridiculous for this kind of game. Like I wrote, Bare Knuckle 3 was very easy, much like Streets of Rage 2. When butchering the game for the US and EU release, they did raise the difficulty. That's no big deal in Bare Knuckle 3 - but it is in Streets of Rage 3!

To really understand the problem with Streets of Rage 3 it is important to know that you loose one star every time you die, plus the score counter gets reset back to 0, so you basically start from scratch. You're basically starting the game with special moves that are below the level of SoR2 in terms of strength, distance, and speed, but you can earn up to four stars that do increase these values. One of the things that they changed for the third game were the special moves which you now have to earn by scores. Unlike that, Streets of Rage 3 is frustrating in the purest meaning of the word. The thing you'll instantly notice when playing Bare Knuckle 3 is that on its hardest difficulty setting the game is still much easier and much more balanced than SoR3 on Easy.

There are numerous things that make BK3 better, but let's not discuss the godawful covers, manuals and missing move lists in the Western versions, and the 50Hz PAL issue that makes the EU PAL version the worst of them all, and let's forget the butchered graphics and inferior voice samples for a second and concentrate on the actual gameplay itself:
