5 stars "Street fighter fans wont be disappointed "

This game is great! I have been pumping in coins at the arcade since it was first released.

Tho gameplay is not as technical as what we have seen in 3rd strike and many people say that street fighter 4 has been "dumbed” down a bit to introduced this arcade classic to a new generation, but who cares its street fighter 4 and it looks great.

Most if not all of the characters for Street fighter 2 but the new characters seem rushed and boring.

Great arcade fighting game and can't wait to be playing this online against other people.

5 stars "Old skool meets the new"

Street fighter 4 is everything I expected it to be and more. Having the ability to challenge on – line is great and is set up well with signal display for player compatibility and there is no lag in gameplay. General gameplay stays true to earlier versions yet stills adds new dimesions ultra combo finishes are fun and look great. There alot of hidden characters and things to earn as you progress through the game to keep you busy. However the game is not really suited to a PS3 gamepad and I would recommend finding a compatible joystick.

5 stars "Awsome Game , HARD!"

This game is great and it's easily going to be the best street fighter yet . While it is enjoyable the game is EXTREMELY HARD! Arcade mode even on the easiest difficulty can at times be difficult to pass . So if you are looking at this game I recommend you go ahead with it but buy another controller as you will be probably smash your controller within minutes through the shear frustration of continuous defeat .

5 stars "Epic!"

This game is soooo awesome.. i was a bit spectacle at first but when i played it i saw that that it was awesome. Imagine Tekken 5 in cartoon but cooler! if your a street fighter fan or even a fighting gamer you'd be crazy to miss out on this game! So just buy it already!

5 stars "Awesome!!"

Alot harder than previous street fightrer games ive played even just 0on medium difficulty. Awesume new super and ultra moves. Pletty good graphics even on a standard definition TV. Tho some of the text is a bit small and can be hard to read for far back but doesnt take anything away from the game. Amust have for any 1 on 1 fighter game fan.

4 stars "Excellent"

Amazing fight, must have for all fans. However, lacking in the combo side of things when compared to others like tekken

5 stars "Year of the fighters!"

One of the best fighting games to come out in many years, fast paced game filled with Hadoukens and uppercuts, this game sure delivers what Street Fighter is all about, this game runs smoothly online with awsome netcoding on ps3 and also an entertaining game to play with your friends or rivals!

4 stars " HADOKEN!"

Good range of fighter to choose from, although a few more wouldnt hurt.
Not much of a story line for each figher, but good idea for using anime movies to build up each fighters character.
Very good mixture of 2D and 3D gaming. Fast unlike the slow EX street fighter series.

4 stars "Awesome"

Graphics are great with HD. The classic gameplay which has always been fun.

This game is great playing online or with mates. Lots of fun.

One thing though, as others had said, it's very HARD. I tried unlocking characters and I had just given up. The only character I unlocked was Cammy.

But still, get this game if you're a fan. But if not, you might wanna give it a rent.

5 stars "Street Fighter Original"

Being an original fan of Street Fighter, I must say it is good to see the overall concept of the game is the same. This could be a downer for new generation gamers who are not use to this style game.
thumbs up to having the Gameplays along with Arcade Mode!!

1 stars "Honestly.. DON'T BOTHER"

Wow am I glad I borrowed this game from a friend. The controls are terrible, the music is annoying, the moves are near impossible to pull off.

To be honest, I am now looking forward to Tekken 6 as this was such an incredible let down. Street Fighter 4 is a total button mashing-fest whereas Tekken 6 has some strategy and sidestepping. Not just locking your opponent in an infinity combo..

Utter CRAP

1 stars "This game sucks!!"

Don't bother with this stinker. Play DC vs MK (at least it looks and feels polished, and fun) or wait for tekken 6 if you want an interesting and fun fighting game.
YAWN!!
Luckily for me i hired it first…“i want my $3 back please”
oh…and as for the music “ahhh my ears!!” :( terrible!!

3 stars "Pretty Average?"

This game is pretty average. Unless you're a hardcore street fighter fan this is just another fighting game but more basic, and just plain annoying. The new graphics style is cool, but Ive seen alot better in fighting games. Even on the easiest difficulty, the last guy (Seth) in arcade just spams grabs and teleports around and is just a pain in the ass to beat. Theres hardly any modes so unless you're gonna get together with friends and play or play online thats about all you can do. Its pretty AVERAGE! Theres alot more fighting games with more depth than this. Give it a hire first.
