WORST FIGHTING GAME EVER MADE
Where to begin, first the movie. In the orginal Street Fighter Games, you take part in a world spaning fighting tournament, facing off against enemies from all over the globe, and a few supernatural characters such as Gen and Akuma, and got to use supernatural powers and really cool martial arts movies. With the movie what do you get? a clechie action movie about a civil war in Southeast Asia a power mad dictator wanting world domination, and Jean Claude Van Damme called into save the day. The first way you know this is a bad film, they spliced news footage from Operation: Desert Storm into the beginning, even though the setting is suppose to be in Southeast Asia, and decided to completly ignore their source material.
Now for the game, how could the game possibly be bad. Take a wild guess, the game itself effectivlly ammounts to nothing more then a blend between the movie and the original game. Possibly the worst aspect of the game is that it looks and feels like another game namely Mortal Kombat, but without the blood, gore, and decapitations, complete with digitised characters of nearly EVERY ACTOR IN THE MOVIE. Another aspect of this game that will definatlly alienate any SF fans, is that it doesn't even follow the movie that well, and included characters that weren't even in the orginal movie (Akuma), replaced fan favorite character Fei Long with a completly new character named Sawada, and introduced another new character: the cyborg soldier known as Blade.
Another aspect of the game that is poorly done is it's character animation, which at times can appear choppy or unrecognizable. The characters themselves are also badly miscasted, with more emphises being placed on promoting Sawada and Van Damme then honoring the original Street Fighter game.
Over all this game is a dismal failure, with the only redeeming quality being that it isn't considered cannon in the Street Fighter Series, and is a game that should be played at one's own risk.
