    Brushing that major frustration aside there’s plenty of good times to be had with Street Fighter. With the ability to accept challengers while playing through the arcade mode as ranked or player matches, go hunting for fights online or simply play any of the various single player modes there’s no lack of enjoyment to be had with Street Fighter IV. If you aren’t willing to put the time and effort into the game don’t be surprised if you spend a lot of time on the... Read more

    For those wanting to become a Street Fighter legend, Street Fighter IV ‘s online system is were you are going to be spending a lot of your time. Leaderboard rankings and player stats are all tracked in-game and you can even be challenged by an online opponent during an Arcade mode playthrough via the “Arcade Fight Request” system. Of course, if your like me and would prefer not to be disturbed while pummeling your way through CPU opponents unlocking characters,... 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

    I so wanted to give "Street Fighter IV" a 100. However, I just can’t. It’s a mindblowing re-interpretation of a classic franchise, that plays superbly, whether online or offline. The graphics are great (if a little simple perhaps), the sound is brilliant, and the gameplay brilliant, even if you don’t have a gamepad. 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

    Best sit-down game ever. The reason I put "sit-down", is because my favorite game is Dance Dance Revolution X! The best traditional game is definitely this though. I bought this yesterday, and can't stop thinking about it! Read more

  2. Fighting becomes fun once again

    What makes a game great? Let me tell you that it's all about the genre. A game of a specific genre needs to avoid being repetitive, so it sets itself aside from others like it from being different. It's hard for fighting games (and Beat'em ups too i guess) to top it, because they're all mainly the same thing. But not all fighting games are the same, and if they set themselves apart, they're bound to have something special in store for us. Soul Caliber 4 featured a create... Read more

    The FightStick Standard Edition is a defective product. There is a washer in the stick in direct contact with a PCB and every time you use it the PCB will get damage, at some point the copper lines in the PCB will be exposed and the washer will cause a shortcut. The only way is to replace the stick with another one. Buttons seems fragile too. If you don't have enough money for the Tournament Edition try with another brand of Arcade Sticks. And if you are planning to mod... Read more or see product

    VGA Best fighting game of 2009 Game spot Best fighting game of 2009 The awards say it all. Tekken 6 could have won if Character creation was in the game. In addition Scenario Campaign mode should have been taken out. Street FIghter Old school game play with new school graphics. I do wish for more additional content in SF4, but since the basic SF4 beat Tekken 6. Read more
