Regardless of what generation of gaming you hail from, River City Ransom (or Street Gangs as it was known in the UK), was - and still is - not a game to be ignored. This is video game history, right here. If you own a Wi... Read Full Review

If you like Beat'em ups and you get used to this one, your going to love it.
This game I have to say is really good. The graphics aren't too good of course but the music is memorable. If you get use to the style of this game in terms of fighting, you'll be addicted to it. All though the strange p... Read Full Review

Great 2-player Co-op fun.
River City Ransom is my girlfriend's favorite 2-player NES game so when we learned that it was available on the Wii, we forked out the $5.00 necessary for the download. River City requires some coordination and cooperat... Read Full Review

A Beat Them Up that plays REALLY great on the Game Boy Advance!
Some games take a LOT longer than others to get popular recognition. Take "River City Ransom EX" for example. Although the game had already been released 12 years prior on the NES and the Game Boy, the game only had OKAY... Read Full Review

Ever since I got my Wii a couple weeks after it was released, there's one thing I've really loved about it: The Virtual Console. I have quite a few games in my VC collection, and one of my favorites is River City Ransom ... Read Full Review

River City Ransom played a big part in my youth, and the game stands up to the test of time with a solid Dragon Fist.
Gangs Occupy River City. They Stand in Your Way of True Love. Time to Cause Some Serious Pain! As a lad, I would spend several hours exploring old factories, wooded fields, construction sites and the general ind... Read Full Review

Take the characters from Super Spike V-ball and World Cup Soccer, give them weapons and gang names, = River City Ransom
This is one of those games I've been waiting to come out on WiiVC. Not only because it was/is an amazing game, but to have a copy that doesn't freeze-up is a dream come true. River City Ransom (RCR) is a definite buy. ... Read Full Review

Pretty Good
The Graphics: 7.5/10 The graphics of River City Ransom are actually rather nice! The style is very similar to Double Dragon, only the characters are much more "cartoony". The backgrounds are bold and colorful, and vary ... Read Full Review
