If you're a fan of classic beat em ups, particularly from the SNES era, then this one... won't exactly light the world on fire. Speaking from a strictly objective point of view, it's more of a 2.5 stars but I can put myself in the era pretty well. The pros of the game are good music and sound design, plus pretty decent visuals. It has an actual plot, which is a novelty for the genre. The game is also not overly difficult on the whole, generally enemies only come 2 at a time. On the downside, the controls are a little stiff and combat relies heavily on knowing which moves can loop the enemies. As well, while the game is not too hard, there are sections that WILL kill you a lot until you figure them out, particularly the bike sections and the final bosses. Still, it's cool to see a game of yesteryear that never got a chance in America officially finally see the light of day on Western shores. The framing story tying in to River City Girls 2 and the retro style themed music are a nice treat on top. If you're eager to scratch an itch for more River City Girls while waiting for 2, then give it a shot. If you're not that desperate, I'd definitely wait for a sale instead or get it at a reduced price via Switch gold coins.
