Streets of Fury, the finalist of the Microsoft's Dream-Build-Play 2008 contest is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace.
Created by two indie developers, the game beat 350 other registered entrants to impress the judges of the official-branded game comp.
According to the blurb, Streets of Fury takes place in a "Paris devastated by suburban gangs". The Army being on strike, the President calls for the best privateer brawlers of Los Angeles streets to restore order and security. That's our kind of mindless, violent storyline.
"We've been completely fond of the beat 'em up genre since early childhood and played most of its classic games. To create Streets of Fury, we took inspiration from games like Streets of Rage, Fatal Fury or also Guardian Heroes" said Cyrille Lagarigue, co-creator of the game.
"We're very excited to see our game released on the Xbox Live Arcade and to have succeeded in mixing some of the best gameplay mechanics from classic 2D fighting games into Streets of Fury," declared Jordi Asensio, the other creator.
The game features a coop mode and support for up to four players. Both a demo and the full game are available at the Indie Games section of the Xbox Live Arcade now.
