    has become a very good fighting game and certainly manages to reach the level of Street Fighter II. It's got a nice balance between nostalgia and innovation and thanks to this will certainly appeal to both newcomers and veterans to the series. Forget Virtua Fighter, Soul Calibur or Dead or Alive... the King Street Fighter is back. Read more

    With a wide array of gameplay modes, solid online multiplayer, superb production values, and a balanced character roster, Street Fighter IV excels in every area that a brawler should. Read more

    Street Fighter IV is a true fighting game through and through. No over-complicated game modes or additional mini games get in the way of the straight-up combat, and there aren’t any bells and whistles tacked on for the sake of things. Although straightforward, SFIV can be incredibly complicated at the higher levels allowing for good competition prospects. A great cast, quality graphics and a solid engine make this one of the best fighters in years. With SFIV, the... Read more

    Every other portion of Street Fighter IV besides challenge mode holds up very well to other fighters available now. The fighting engine is a lot of fun to learn and not that hard to become familiar with. Hardcore fighting fans looking for deep gameplay will most likely find something to enjoy in the game's focus attack and Street Fighter purists should instantly be hooked by the game's old-school blend of Street Fighter II and III. The game is an easy pickup if you're a... Read more

    Capcom's Street Fighter IV leaves me satisfied but with the overwhelming sensation that this latest installment is merely Street Fighter II prettied up for next generation gamers. Not much has changed which may be a good thing for some, but others like me were expecting a bit more than a prettier re-dux. If that's good enough for you, at least track down an arcade controller as either standard console controller is near useless for tapping into all the moves. Read more

    Roman numerals we meet again...despite game maker Capcom's attempt to confuse us, Street Fighter IV is in fact Street Fighter 4. All the characters from Street Fighter 2 are there plus a few of the less lame ones from Street Fighter 3. Thats in addition to a few brand new characters. Though I havent played the story mode yet, from what I've experienced from the two player mode is that this is exactly like Street Fighter 2 but revamped graphics wise for the PS3. The... Read more

    As stated above, the controls for this game are just too involved and too unintuitive. I found myself bored and VERY frustrated after just a few hours of playing this overpriced, overhyped game. Games I have enjoyed and beat include: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Metal Gear Solid 4. Street Fighter IV is just not in the same league as those I've mentioned above. It lacks the realism and the intuitive controls. Even the graphics pale in comparison to... Read more

    Street Fighter 4 is one of the most anticipated games for old school Street Fighter brawlers.  I’ve been a fan since the original Street Fighter II arcade game, as most fans are.  There’s been a drought of SF games (including ... Read more

    why only 25 character?, why the have just one special move?, what happened to the special introduction some characters have (like ken fooling around with ryu before a fight), how its this street fighter 4 if the history doesn't change at all, what happened to all the crew from third strike?, this game should just be called STREET FIGHTER 2++ instead.
