Awesome game
- All the original cast from SFII
- Great graphics
- Great cinematic
- Online matches are engaging and fun
- Challenge Mode to learn combos are awesome.
Cons:
- Can't watch other players going against each other while waiting for the next match.
- You're disconnection % goes up even though it's not your fault the connection is lost.
Overall:
A diehard fan of the franchise through and through, Street Fighter IV is better than I could have hoped for, as I've been openly skeptical about the game for months. After clutching my copy of SFIII: Third Strike to my chest for so many years as my last memory of the late and great franchise, I feel like I can finally let go and try something new, yet familiar. At the end of the day, that's really what this Street Fighter is: it's a title that's built for newcomers, yet tweaked for old school vets from the arcade and home console days. If you like fighting games, don't hesitate to pick this one up; heck, even if you've never thrown a "Hadouken" in your life, it's worth getting. Chances are, you'll find yourself getting hooked.
