Today’s second Xbox LIVE Arcade release is SEGA’s Streets of Rage 2. The classic side-scrolling beat-’em-up sees Blaze, Adam and Axel out celebrating the anniversary of their defeat of the Syndicate.

The following morning Adam is missing, his house wrecked and his picture chained to a wall at the feet of Mr. X. It’s up to Axel, Blaze, Adam’s brother Skate and Max Thunder to rescue Adam from the Syndicate and take down Mr. X once and for all.

The game is available for only 400 Microsoft Points and features local and LIVE co-operative play, plus the usual 12 Achievements and 200 Gamerscore Points.
