a game like "Streets of rage"

Well firstly there's Streets of Rage , secondly there's Golden Axe, I'm drwing a blank but I'm sure there are others.

 

I would also recommend [app]Streets of Rage[/app] for a Streets of Rage type game.

 

Check out OMG! Pirates it is fantastic

 

does simpsons arcade count?
regardless, it's fun.

 

i think streets of rage would come to mind

 

It's topics like this that make me love this forum.

 

I've played a number of beat-em-up Streets of Rage type of games on my iPod Touch and they all let me down due to the contols.

Then I got ahold of Chop Chop Ninja.

You tap and hold where you want to go - tap beyond an enemy to attack them, tap in the air to jump. It guesses wrong sometimes (like when I want to move a crate instead of attacking (and possibly destroying) it) but in general it's spot on.

The game is a lot more cutesy than SoR, but the gameplay is solid. Missing from SoR would be combos, weapons (kindof - there are powerups in CCN) and of course co-op play.

There is a lite version, try it out and see what you think.

 

If you have a 3GS or 3rd-gen touch, and, you're jailbroken, get the mame4iphone app and 'obtain' Capcom's Final Fight arcade ROMs from somewhere.

It runs perfectly, and with great sound!

 

Best beat-em-up game ever.

I've got one (well, a JAMMA PCB) in the garage.

If I'm too lazy to hook that up I've got it on Sega CD

 

chop chop ninja is an awesome beat em up platformer but is nothing like streets of rage. OMG pirates is closer

 

If you are jailbroken you can play final fight and sengoku on mame4iphone, both better than any beat em up on the app store, you need to play with the sound off though.

 

I had it on Mega CD too. I loved the improved (live band )soundtrack.

RE: Final Fight: Not if you have a 3GS.

 

There is a beat'em up game featuring Chuck Norris in AppStore. And there is also "Blade Master", which is a hybrid of a beatem up game and rpg.
