A few problems hold back what could have been the best fighter this gen.

User Rating: 8.5 | Street Fighter IV X360
SFII was a instant-classic. Clearly one of the best games in vg history. Six years after, SFIII came out, but it didn't have the magic SFII. But more than a decade later, SFIV comes out and it comes hard. SFIV is close the but not quite as his generation.The fighting in SFIV is polished within an inch of it's life and is so pure it literally appeals to casual and hardcore.It can best be described as "accessible to play, hard to master". This is an online fighter but a few unbalanced characters ruin the experience. This game is pure eye-candy though. An amazing art style combined with incredible animation gives you, what is sure to be one of the best looking games of '09. In short, it's a great fighter but your better off with marvel vs capcom 2.
