SoR1 is positively legendary for its soundtrack. On a good home hifi it sounded fantastic, and it contributed greatly to hammering-home the not-a-cartoon aesthetic of the gritty street brawler. Previous brawlers in that aesthetic were Final Fight and Double Dragon, but they lacked the neon glow, street punk clothing, and hard-thumping rave/dance sound track.

It's a shame that SoR4 sorta missed the mark on that. It just didn't really snag the simple clarity of SoR1's basslines.
