Street Fighter 4 will even appeal to those who have no interest in Fighting games.
Those who are new to Street Fighter genre will also find this game addictive.
For beginners, Training mode is available for performing moves & combos which is great. Combos are easy to execute & after you have mastered moves, you can try the challenge mode which is robust.
Command list which explains the moves & combos of each character is easy to understand & learn.
Challenge Mode includes Time Attack, Survival & Trial Mode.
SF4 has 25 characters which include old ones like Ryu, Ken, etc. & new ones like Rufus, C.Viper, El.Fuerte, etc. & two Secret characters i.e. Akuma & Gouken.
Gouken [Shen Long] is the elder brother of Akuma [Gouki] & teacher of Ryu.
New feature includes the Ultra Combo i.e. Revenge Gauge.
When you take a beating, it starts to fill up & Vice-Versa. If you manage to connect, it does some serious damage.
I also like the cut-scene when you execute the combo.
Zangief's combo is arguably the best in the game as it really does
an awful damage.
This game is actually 2D rendered in 3D graphics. Controller/Joystick is recommended for easy execution of certain moves & combos of certain characters [especially Zangief].
Playing this game only with a keyboard can be tough & troublesome.
SF4 does not have a story-line but it's understood because you
just have to select a character & fight.
The background music for each stage is also nice.
So should I go ahead with this game?
Ofcourse. It's not so expensive [$10] & it's worth every penny.
You won't regret it, trust me.
The Good : Great Multiplayer. Robust game. Fairly cheap. Has nice replay value.
The Bad : Heavy system requirements. Even with my 512MB graphic card, the game was lagging. So I had to lower the model quality & screen resolution to get a FPS of 35-40.
Seth [AI] can be troublesome.
Trial Mode of certain characters is really very tough. It may even seem impossible to do.
Final Verdict : Overall a fantastic game & Highly recommended.
