    If you’re still playing SSF4 online, AE is a no-brainer, and the de facto new standard for the game, for better or for worse. If you’re looking for any kind of single player content or a chance to get your foot in the Read more

    • Yun and Yang are fun to play, Upgrades for weaker characters, Fairly priced
    • Strange balance changes, No new Trials, Still unfriendly to new players

    A fighting game fan’s dream come true. Following the release of Street Fighter II, my brother and I were obsessed. We’d spend hours at the arcade, plunking down quarters. Read more

    • + Rock solid gameplay, + Gorgeous visuals, + Incredibly fun online multiplayer, + Simple enough for newcomers, + Deep enough for pros
    • Cutscenes are lackluster, Final boss difficulty may turn off some

    A budget price and a comprehensive list of updates probably won't impress casual gamers, but Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition still has plenty of additions that hardcore fans will want to snatch up. Read more

    • Lots of "under the hood" updates that should please hardcore players; four new characters; good roster balancing. Even without purchasing Arcade Edition, the free Update Kit helps bridge both versions for "vanilla" Street ...

    The beat-em-up genre has seen many contenders come and go but all were pretenders to the crown and never really took Street Fighters title.  Will Street Fighter 4 deliver on our rose tinted memories or is it a Hadoken to 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. Read more

    Street Fighter 4 is by no means a flawless game. Looking for an in-depth story is pointless, since you won't find it here. Frankly, that's really not what you should be looking for in a fighting game. Read more

    • Now this is a fighting game, a great ride for fans and new-comers, it's an innovative brawler wrapped in a familiar-looking shell;
    • The story needs more work.

    Street Fighter IV effortlessly captures the Street Fighter spirit. It's instantly familiar but with enough innovation to interest fighting game fanatics willing to dig a little deeper. Read more

    • Online play solid, Focus Attack truly innovative, Based on the brilliant Super Turbo engine
    • Bare bones single-player

    Its a really good game but has flawed interactions online, and the people on Xbox live aren't fun to play with, they don't respect other players and don't use their mic. Read more

    It's the fightstick of choice for SFIV players amature and professional. Some might not like the gumball joystick or square gate, but it's made from the same high quality parts used in the arcade machines so it's able to... Read more

    I've been playing street fighter since the age of 9 in the ex alpha series. However, Street Fighter IV is a totally different experience in that the overall game speed appears to be faster. Read more

    • Fast exciting play, Unique special and ultra attacks for every character

    Game has great graphics but in my opinion does not play or have the feel of older Street Fighter titles. It takes some getting used to but for a general fighting game it is worth playing. Read more
