This is a play-through with Shiva on Stage 4 of Streets Of Rage 2: S.W. for the Genesis / Mega Drive.

This is a superb alternative version of the original SOR2 game which allows the players to choose and control from all of the enemy and boss characters in the game. This version of the game also adds the character Adam Hunter to the roster and a new Survival mode as well.

The enemies / bosses are all implemented in a way that they all virtually act exactly like their CPU versions do, with the most 'logical' controls for a human player (I can actually think of better move commands for some of the enemies, but I'm not complaining) to perform their moves.

Not only is every enemie / boss fun to play as, it is also interesting to see how the creators have 'implemented' them for human control. And it's clear that they've done such a great job of it. Examples of this are the character Jet and the Particle robot - which would require some thought seeing as they operate quite differently to a 'standard' enemy.

So for this video I have demonstrated the boss character Shiva (he's the penultimate boss) in a playthrough of Stage 4. As you can see, he operates virtually perfectly to his CPU version. I highly recommend this version of the game, one of the best ones for this series.
