Streets of Rage 2 sneaks on to XBLA today

"I'm with those short guys," we imagined Eddie "Skate" Hunter might have insisted to the bouncers of Club XBLA. "Yeah, I'm going to fight some puzzles or whatever."

No matter how it went down, we're happy to see Streets of Rage 2, making an unheralded entrance onto the Xbox Live Arcade today. We find it hard to imagine two more disparate takes on fighting than Streets and today's other release, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Today's offerings are more of a personality test than anything. Do you want to battle opponents with your mind and spatial reasoning, or would you prefer furious punching to the beat of throbbing techno music? Hey, don't look at us pal, we can't live your life for you.
