Street Fighter IV Review By X Box Station.net

 

Either you are an oldie or a new gamer you have heard about Street Fighter , either when it debuted back in 1991 or after, there is no gamer even if you don't like beat-em-ups who can say i never heard of it , but the game have lost a bit of it's glory in the console world lately till this new Street Fighter IV.

This fourth version brings the legendary fighting game back to its roots by creating a truly extraordinary experience and feeling that recreate the true arcade style of virtual martial arts.

 

 

From new characters, bosses, 3D engine, new focus attacks set on MK+MP, throws, super and ultra combos this game has it all.

 

Street Fighter IV Startup Fighters in the Square and the Unlockable ones on Top and Bottom

 

When you start the game it's all familiar like old days with the original Ken, Ryu, Blanka, Honda, Guile, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, Zangief and the old four bosses Bison, Balrog, Vega, Sagat and four new challengers C.Viper, Abel, Rufus and El Fuerte.

 

Street Fighter IV Costume colour change and Personal action

 

If you not a pro or loose the touch of the controls , no worries, there is training, and challenge mode to play with and get rewards after complete every challenges.

 

Street Fighter IV Challenge and Config

 

Everything is been redone so good and still keep the deph in, the combo meters get tweaked, give damage and fill your super bar while get damage to build your Ultra bar, once either is full, you can unleash your player crazy combination.

 

Street Fighter IV Ultra and Super Bar

 

If you've been beaten no worry , you can still unleash some heavy ultra combos since it get filled while absorbing damages and this really is the beauty of the new system super and ultra combos.

 

Street Fighter IV

 

After you completed the arcade with some characters , you have nine more unlockable fighters Feilong, Cammy, Sakura, Dan, Gouken, Gen, Rose, Akuma and Seth.

 

Make no mistake if all this sound easy, this is one tough game, and the challenges from level 3 test your skill and knowledge of the game and your character of choice.

 

Street Fighter IV Seth

 

Even on very easy cpu level, you will have a tough time with the final boss Seth, but if you can study his pattern then you will go through him easy.

 

You can also change the audio spoken from japanese to english for every fighters if you are one of those fanboy and as you know there are arcade pad released aswell you can buy just to own well yout friends online, if you can't perform well with the console controllers .

 

Street Fighter IV Artworks and Special 3

 

Nowaday game without online mode is not really accepetable anymore and you can battle with your friends online in SF IV, you know what they said if you want to test your skills go against a human players, so if you feel you are good , then take it online and show us.

So on a final note this is a game you need to buy even if you not a beat-em-ups fan because Capcom set the bar high for any other developper out there, how beat-em-ups should be done in this next-gen era we are living in.

You can't go wrong with this purchase and there is nothing, nothing right now which can beat SF IV when it comes to beat-em-ups andwe are so happy it's in both Xbox360 and PS3, so everyone can enjoy it.

 

Although we like it that much there is few flaw, prologues and ending animation doesn't give much of the story, why some characters rivals are this or that ,people need to know that and there is no excuse but again this is a fighting game and not an rpg so we can do without but worth pointing out, maybe the movies in the theater soon will enlighten us more ? that's the only flaw we find otherwise it's all good.

Unless you know the story already you will not learn much from the cut scene.

Get this game ! and happy Fighting!

 

This is our own view, opinion of the xbox 360 version and also know in the ps3 version there is some additional content, it does not reflect the sensation you might feel playing it fully as everyone enjoy game differently so just use this review as a starting point , thats why we refrain of using a point system review, we rather tell you how is and you choose yourself.

 

thanks
