Memories Tarnished
User Rating: 4.3 | Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting X360
Could the ball have been dropped any worse. A great idea up in smoke. The online is the real downfall of this one. It is completely unbearable. The lag is awful. If it had been more than $10 I would have sworn off XBLA. This was a great game, a great idea, and had great features. Too bad they didn't work in the final product. By the way, when did SFII get to be so dang hard? The difficulty is way off the chart. I am no master of the game, but I used to be pretty good. Am I spoiled by the ease of games today. I can still pull off all the moves (except the 360 Piledriver. I just never got the hang of that one.), but the cpu has an answer for ever step I take. I am a fan of good AI, but I am also a fan of getting an ending by beating Bison on 3 star. 3 star on this is like 6 on the old SNES version. Maybe I'm just getting soft in my old age. This is good for a stroll down memory lane, but it ain't what it used to be. The game itself aged pretty well, it is still fun; but the add-ins that were supposed to be, never were. All in all, I was disappointed by the impossible online play and that left a bad taste in my mouth.
