First and foremost let me give you a tip….hit the RB button on your controller and shutoff your welcoming matches, switch the status and you'll have people that randomly challenge you. This is good when you feel like wasting 2 hours before actually finishing the game it self. Now with that out of the way. Welcome everyone to Street Fighter 4, Capcom's new crack for all of us 2D fighter addicts. More than 20 characters and 2 new comers, interactive backgrounds, wetter blood, better combo configurations and even more addictive game-play since; well the last Street Fighter.
Not quite the looker, I was expecting more realism, but I can see why they haven't devoted entirely into the looks of this new game, it's the essence of 2D fighting, the chunky muscles and at times unreal fast pace of this game. This is what has kept it true to its self and what I believe the roots of all that is 2D fighting up to 3D. However at times I couldn't stop comparing the graphics to the Dragon Ball series games. For this, graphics department gets a 3 out of 5.
Now, unlike the Tekken series, none of it's characters have aged. Which will have you wondering where the hell has Street Fighter been all these years? I can't think of any reason other than greed as to why they didn't release one of these games earlier. Now I wouldn't advise you to entirely dispose of all your other fighting games, but I have a pretty good feeling you won't be looking at them after you test this one. Give it a rental honestly.
Game play is amazing, addictive and it will have you begging it was your day off work. Honestly you'll find yourself aimlessly roaming from party to party, giving and receiving nothing but pure punishment; just in case your friends have it let me warn you, hydrate and caffeinate your self, it is that good. Especially since Street Fighter has included a way to cancel your attacks, thus giving you a bit more freedom in combo packing your opponents faces. At this point I should clear up the fact that if you were bad at others, it is never too late to learn but forget it, the game is good but it can't work miracles for you. On the other hand if you spent your 4th and 5th grade skipping school at your local arcade, spending your lunch money, you'll soon be glad you did just so, it is all back, the combos, the catchy songs, and especially our gamer prayers; omfg. For this and for bringing me flashbacks of my childhood, Playability as expected from a fighting game is a 5 out of 5.
So here it is you guys all in all a 5 out of 5, good bang for your buck, and you'll definitely be squeezing the $60 price tag out of this one.
