I loved the first game and have been dabbling in this series since the 80s and River City Girls 2 I am very happy to say more than lives up to the big shoes the last game left. This is not a full on new game… well, it is, but much of what they have done here is refine and add to what we already had. Honestly, I could not be any more ok with that. That last game was one of the best beat-em-ups ever made so I am very happy that they did not reinvent the wheel here just for the sake of doing so! Still, I would highly recommend that you play the original game before jumping in here.

Back Again!

As you would expect from a beat em up, River City Girls 2 is a bit light on the story, but what is here works and works very well. The yakuza gang from the first game that we thought had been beaten so bad they ran away with their tail between their legs is back. Not only are they back, they have taken over the school and the other cool hang out spots so our badass heroes are going to use their fists to get rid of them once again.

Making Up For It

While the premise and the substance of the story of River City Girls 2 may be on the basic side, the game more than makes up for it with the way it is written. This is a very funny and witty kind of game and while if I am being honest with you fine folks, you will probably not care for the overall story. You will get a kick and more than a few chuckles out of the various character interactions that happen as you play the game.

Like A Glove

I grew up on the beat em up, games like Final Fight, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Streets of Rage. I feel comfortable putting River City Girls 2 in the same bracket as those arcade classics. We can play as our two heroes from the first game, Misako and Kyoko. However, their boyfriends, Kuno and Riki are also available from the start. You can also play as two new characters, Marian (who I loved!) and Provie, each character feeling a bit different. The game starts off rather shallow, but you get more and more advanced moves that you can learn and the whole game is just satisfying to play. It is quite challenging too. Of course, the game is best played with friends as it is fun in single-player, but it is with a friend next to you where this really shines.

Someone Needs To Make This A Show!

The game is so much fun to play, but I feel the whole style of River City Girls 2 is what really ties it together. I love the art style here and it is very similar to the last game, but that is not a bad thing at all. It has a very modern pixel art style to it and I love the way that the enemies are references to other characters from this series, other games and even some fun pop culture references too. The game has an epic soundtrack too that could not fit the game any better. There is also some voice acting which adds a ton of personality to the game's story and characters.

I have just touched the surface of what makes River City Girls 2 such a great experience. This may look like a shallow beat em up and the same as all the rest, but there really is a level of depth here that makes it such an addicting game to play. I had so much fun with this and I am certain this will be one of those games that I fire up multiple times a year as that was the case with the first game!

Pros:

  • I loved the awesome style the game has, so much “tude”!
  • The gameplay is some of the best beat-em-up gameplay you will experience
  • I liked how each character was their own thing
  • This is one of the best multiplayer beat em ups around

Cons:

  • If beat em ups are not your cup of tea, this may not win you over
  • I wonder if they will be able to keep this up for a third game
