Another great addition to the Street Fighter II Universe.

User Rating: 9.3 | Street Fighter II Turbo SNES
Street Fighter II Turbo is certainly a classic among classics. As its title states, there is a new (but not mandatory) Turbo mode, introducing new costume colors for every character, and gameplay speed that doubles the original... but of course you can still play your regular speed mode. What makes this game even better, is that the previously unplayable bosses (Sagat, Balrog[Boxer], Vega[Claw], and M.Bison[Dictator]) are all playable, adding to the already unforgettable roster.

Lets talk about the gameplay, its the same engine (of course) as the previous unforgetable and groundbreaking games. However there are several new special moves, and new or changed Normal Attacks. Overall the game's attacks were brushed over at a new attempt of balance, to make it feel different than it was, which was successful obviously. Now on to the Turbo mode, everything in Turbo mode is pretty much the same just with lightning fast gameplay... however some characters do suffer from this mode to my knowledge, namely Guile, because of the fact that the charge moves (which were 3 seconds in this game I believe) were not sped up at all, but other than that it was just as fun-filled (if not more) than the original mode.

The graphics in Street Fighter II Turbo are as stunning as always, all of the animations, sprites and backgrounds are vivacious and beautiful. The music throughout the game features all of the catchy, memorable tunes (Guile, Ken, Ryu, and Blanka's stages come to mind) that have proven to be unforgettable over the years. There are eight difficulty levels to choose from, so the game is not very hard for beginners, but can also provide that significant challenge to those who want more, among many other options to choose from.

My siblings and I had spent countless hours playing this game during our childhood, and it will remain an influential part of our lives for sure. One of the most memorable games that I can recall.
