I'll make this review quick since the game has been out for a while now. Either you have it or you dont. But for the few still deciding here is a review. Do you like all fighting games? If yes, you already bought this. Are you picky with your fighting games? If yes, it depends on what your type is. Fast furious fun combos with pretty things always happening on screen - this is NOT the game for you. It is a good looking game but not very fast paced and nothing really over the top that makes you say 'wow' that was cool (some exceptions, but they are exceptions). A thinking man's fighting game where every move counts (big short hits do almost as much damage as long complex combos). This is a game where doing nothing is doing something, and walking forward is considered a 'move'. This game is psychological and just as much about spacing and good defense as it is learning combos (I think more-so). BEWARE OF ONLINE PLAY - you WILL experience lag, trolls, jerks and other nonsense. This game will frustrate you as much as it entertains you. IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE FIGHTING GAME SCENE DONT GO ONLINE WITHOUT TRAINING FIRST unless losing over and over is fun for you.Read full review
As a player in the Street Fighter community, this is a great update for the game. The arcade mode is great, with new 3D cut scenes, and also the ability to have a opponent join via XBOX Live. The versus is the same as always. Player vs Player, Player vs. CPU, or CPU vs CPU is also fun to watch. There is online play, via XBOX Live. There is the original "Ranked" matches, with a HORRIBLE ranking system. You get PP (player points) with winning matches, and lose it by losing. This score is applied online with all characters, and there is no "cushion" if your want to use a new character. Also, there is BP, Battle points, and it is earned per character. You lose a couple of points for losing with that character, and also you win a couple if you win. The problem is, ALL other game modes don't use this ranking system. So let's say someone plays tournaments (a game mode) all the time, and got really good. But, his PP and BP say he's bad. well, you lose A LOT of BP and PP because you lost to a "NOOB", even through, int truth, he's better than you. So the ranking system is flawed. Not to mention, the Net cod is made for Japan, a small area, so gameplay in the US is almost ALWAYS laggy. But, in the US, they are going to (not officially announced)a expansion to this game, Arcade Edition (AE). This expansion adds 2 new characters from earlier games. Also there is Challenge mode, with replayable bonus stages from Arcade mode and also trials. These "trials" show you combos that are COMPLETELY impractical in a real match, and either a) take up a lot of meter or b) are VERY hard to set up So look at YouTube if you want to find practical combos for online play, as bad as it is. But, if you have friends who play it, its a great game for it, but there's a lot of hassles etc. Also, it's IMPOSSIBLE to start out, there is practically no way to fight other newcomers, than to play 1v1 endless battle (just you two guys over and over). So go into Training, where there is a "dummy" opponent, and you can practice stick movements, and also get to feel the controls. I hope I helped your purchase, thanks. ChrisRead full review
I bought it used and the disk is in almost perfect shape. It's the last Street Fighter game that you don't have to buy characters, and all the characters are unlocked right off the bat.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This is a great value of games, I mainly wanted to play Far Cry 3 but the addition of Super Street Fighter 4, Medal of Honor Warfighter and Singularity makes this an excellent value considering what I spent.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
One of the best console fighting games on the planet! Only downfall is no one plays Multiplayer online anymore.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
