Go Straight isn't the first Bitmap Books release I've read， and it certainly won't be the last。 True to their history， this is a fantastic journey into the storied history of this particular game genre。 From well-known classics like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon， to obscure titles I'd never heard of before， like the Denjin Makai series， or Jitsu Squad， this is a fascinating exploration of the good， the bad， the weird， and everything in between that the beat 'em up genre has to offer。 Whether Go Straight isn't the first Bitmap Books release I've read， and it certainly won't be the last。 True to their history， this is a fantastic journey into the storied history of this particular game genre。 From well-known classics like Streets of Rage and Double Dragon， to obscure titles I'd never heard of before， like the Denjin Makai series， or Jitsu Squad， this is a fascinating exploration of the good， the bad， the weird， and everything in between that the beat 'em up genre has to offer。 Whether you're a longtime fan of these games， or you're just wondering what's so compelling about beating up countless identical street thugs with the same， oddly-translated name， there's a ton of fun， informative content to be found here。 It's an easy recommendation if you have even a passing interest in the genre。 。。。more

Despite the numerous typos and the inconsistent quality of the reviews， this is an absolutely gorgeous book that covers the entirety of the video game genre that is lovingly referred to as the "side-scrolling beat 'em up"。 All of my favorite games from the genre were covered and I learned about a lot of classic titles that I had never heard of before and now want to try out。Quality books that cover video game history are hard to come by， which is why I was thrilled to find out about Bitmap Books Despite the numerous typos and the inconsistent quality of the reviews， this is an absolutely gorgeous book that covers the entirety of the video game genre that is lovingly referred to as the "side-scrolling beat 'em up"。 All of my favorite games from the genre were covered and I learned about a lot of classic titles that I had never heard of before and now want to try out。Quality books that cover video game history are hard to come by， which is why I was thrilled to find out about Bitmap Books and all of the fantastic books that they have put out。 I am sold on the brand and will be checking out as many of their works as I can。 。。。more
