Amazing soundtrack!
Epic Beat 'em up
This is a brilliant follow-up game to the first Streets of Rage title. It has improved on the original in every way. The graphics are great, bright and colourful. The characters are quite large on screen and have even more moves. The bosses are even better and varied. There are quite a lot of references to Streefighter 2 in terms of some of the moves and character design.
The soundtrack is awesome, even today it's probably considered one of the best games for its music. A great mix of dance, techno. Widely considered as one of the best beat 'em up games ever made. It runs Final Fight very close. Still available on the next gen consoles as a Sega classic game.

I really wanted to like this book, but the dialog was so painful I almost didn't finish it. The descriptions and action scenes felt too choppy. There were more continuity issues and contradictions than I can count (for one, thing, if you are out of visual range of something, you can't look back in the next sentence and see what said something was doing!) and by the time we're 90% into the book I KNOW who Karen is and there is no reason to refer to her or any other character by their full names anymore, at least not so frequently.

The basic idea was good - and it had the potential to be an entertaining, if far-fetched, techno-thriller, but I couldn't recommend this even to die-hard Michael Crichton fans.

Michael Crichton's last full work, and in a move unusual for an author best known for techno-thrillers, this novel is actually a historical adventure.

Although it is not the first time he has dabbled in the genre (see also The Great Train Robbery and Eaters of the Dead), I felt that his relative lack of experience of said genre showed: one needs only compare this to a work by Bernard Cornwell, for instance.

I suppose It is possible that the novel was finished but not completed, if you know what I mean, and I also got the feeling that he was trying to jump on the Pirates of the Caribbean (albeit without the magic!) bandwagon with this novel, also set in the Caribbean during the time of Charles II
