The WhatsNext verdict
For Beat-'em-up fans who want a colorful street brawl, a playable cast, and co-op with a friend.: Explore River City, chain together brawling moves, and recruit allies in a humorous side-scrolling adventure. Tradeoff: The combat and progression center on repeated street fights, so players seeking varied genres or a quieter pace may find the loop repetitive.

What you are walking into
Picking up shortly after the original, River City Girls 2 once again put you in control of Misako and Kyoko - as well as Kunio, Riki, and a few new characters - as they set out on an all-new beat-'em-up adventure across the mean streets of River City. New moves, new enemies, new recruits, new environments, and the return of an old foe await, along with the same over-the-top sense of humor and adrenaline-pumping combat of its predecessor. The game will also feature two-player co-op action both locally and online.
