Template:Infobox Streets of Rage 2 (ベアナックルII Bare Knuckle II in Japan, Streets of Rage II in Europe) is a side-scrolling beat 'em up first released by Sega in 1993, and is the sequel to the popular Streets of Rage. It features new music by Yuzo Koshiro (inspired by early '90s club music). It features better graphics, more moves, and longer stages than ever before. The cast of playable characters is also expanded: Adam is no longer available but his place is taken by Skate and Max, raising the roster to four. It was followed by a sequel called Streets of Rage 3.
The game's immense popularity led to its inclusion in various compilations, including Sega Smash Pack Volume 1 (Sega Dreamcast) and Sonic Gems Collection (GameCube, PS2 — Japan only).
