Description

Street Fighter IV brings the legendary fighting series back to its roots by taking the beloved fighting moves and techniques of the original Street Fighter II, and infusing them with Capcom's latest advancements in next generation technology to create a truly extraordinary experience that will re-introduce the world to the time-honored art of virtual martial arts.

Everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a hit in the arcades, living rooms and dormitories across the globe has been brought back in Street Fighter IV. Players will be able to play their favorite classic characters, such as Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and Guile, along with new characters, including Crimson Viper, Abel, El Fuerte, and Rufus. Characters and environments are rendered in stylized 3D, while the game is played in the classic Street Fighter 2D perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes. Six-button controls for the game return, with a host of new special moves and features integrated into the gameplay system. Street Fighter IV brings a brand new fighting game to fans the world over.

Features:
  • Classic “2D” Street Fighter gameplay with stunning 3D characters and environments
  • New special moves that go beyond any Street Fighter fan's wildest imagination, including Focus attacks, Super Combos, and the revenged-fueled Ultra Combo system.
  • Classic Street Fighter characters recreated for a new generation of gamers, including the original cast of Street Fighter II
  • New brawlers: female super-spy Crimson Viper, lucha libre wrestler El Fuerte, mixed martial artist Abel and more!
  • Amazing locations never seen before in a Street Fighter game
  • New gameplay elements provide new challenges for both newcomers and the most seasoned Street Fighter pro.

5 stars "Beat 'em up perfection"

I played Street Fighter IV extensively while I was in Japan recently, and it is an absolute blast. The game ‘feels’ like a classic Street Fighter game from the very beginning, and delivers on every promise. The home versions are going to have heaps of extras included, with extra playable characters and the like to fill out the whole experience.

SFIV has ditched some of the more ‘hardcore’ elements of Street Fighter III, and I feel the game comes off better for it. Some may argue that this has ‘dumbed down’ the game for a more casual audience, but this is far from the truth. SFIV is the boiled down essence of what makes the series so good.

I have been playing street fighter for the past 20 years (yes, I am that old!) and I can honestly state that this version feels the most refined, accessible and challenging iteration yet. If you are a fan of classic arcade games or a fighting game fanatic, you owe it to yourself to pick this game up the moment it comes out.

5 stars "Brilliant"

It's been 10 years since the ever shameful Street Fighter III was released, and worth the wait for IV. In the decade between III & IV is a huge difference in technology and gameplay visuals. Quite a bold move Capcom tried to make and try to keep the old school Street Fighter fans happy and try to get a new generation of Street Fighter gamers with the 2.5D move.

Without the DLC content and the online functionality, it would have been an overpriced beat 'em up. Lets see if Tekken 6 can step up to the mark.
