WTMG’s Leo Faria: “The Karate Kid: Street Rumble is just alright. There’s nothing terrible about it, and there’s nothing that makes it truly stand out. Even if its gameplay is floaty, it is so damn easy you won’t even care about it. It’s full of content related to the first three movies in the franchise, but it doesn’t properly follow the trilogy’s “from zero to hero” premise, making it feel less like a tie-in and more of a “what if” fanservicey fest than an accurate tie-in. Furthermore, it’s just okay as a beat ’em up. I had fun with it, sure, and I’m pretty confident die-hard fans of the franchise (and 80s pop culture in general) will have a blast with it, but there are better titles out there.”
