Streets of Rage 3 (Bare Knuckle III in Japan) is a side-scrolling beat 'em up released by Sega in 1994 for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. It is the last part of the Streets of Rage series. It was later released for the Japanese version of Sonic Gems Collection for the GameCube and PlayStation 2, and for the Wii Virtual Console on September 24, 2007. The game also appeared in Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The game had featured several enhancements over Streets of Rage 2 such as a more complex plot, multiple endings, longer levels, more in-depth scenarios (with interactive levels and the return of traps like pits) and faster gameplay (with dash and dodge moves). Weapons could now only be used for a few times before breaking and could now be integrated with unique moves with certain characters, hidden characters were added and a few cutscenes were included to give the story greater depth. Controls are identical to its predecessors.
Localization Changes
Bare Knuckle III suffered severe censorship during its localization in the US and Europe as Streets of Rage 3. Among the most notable changes were the removal of a certain Homosexual miniboss by the name of Ash, main character costume color changes, a new plot with loopholes, female characters with scantily clad altered, and an increased difficulty level. These and other changes ultimately hurt critical reception in Europe and North America. Some reviewers even urged that Streets of Rage Series fans import Bare Knuckle III or skip this title entirely.
