All things considered, it's really just a poorly designed port of a mediocre Neo-Geo hack-n-slasher. Whether or not that comes out in American shores doesn't concern me, the only worthwhile title in this series is only the third installment. Hopefully Sengoku 3 makes its way to the VC once SNK finally gets around to releasing Neo-Geo games in the near future. Streets of Rage 2 is still a classic beat-em-up for the ages. It amazes me to this day how Sega radically refined this installment, to the point where its predecessor looks obsolete in comparison. I can take or leave Sengoku Mahjong.
