Fans of Street fighter series would love this game but word of caution, the controls might not be fighter-friendly.

Finally I pick up a game that is worth playing around my PSP. I used to be a fan of the system but poor choice of UMD (loading time issue) and weird location of joystick and it not dual shock (2 joystick) and on top of that is expensive Memory stick. Other than that the graphic is very good for a portable game but all I care about is gameplay and depth of the game. This game deliver both areas and more so you don't have to play lots of hours because games are suppose to be played on the go like no more than 30 minutes. The problem I found in this game is controls, which is not Capcom fault, but Sony's slick but problematic PSP hardware needs to be redesign in terms of layout of the controls if they want people to really use the system to buy more games but until they do, this game would have some negative but other than that this game is very deep in term of numbers of modes you can play including Survival, World Tour, and even 2 on 1 battle. The online mode is not really good design to get players to play online so in the future Capcom should either branches further either in online component or use the method Tekken use in terms of downloads the player's ghost so you can battle for practice and show off the depth of challenge compare to play against average CPU's AI. I would recommend to those who love fighting game and are a die-hard fan of the Street Fighter's series but for other who can't stand the controls should look elsewhere or get console version of any fighting game.
