Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo Revival (GBA)

First of all, as the title of this game is such a mouthful, I'll just refer to it as SF2 for the rest of this review, its a waste of time and space (and I don't want to be accused of word fraud). I've always loved the Street Fighter series and have owned quite a few of the games that have been released by Capcom in the Street Fighter franchise. I am also a big fan of 2D fighting games. The original SF2 on the SNES was the first of many games that I bought or was given from this genre so I thought it only fair that I gave the SF2 on the GBA a chance. Now, I expected the graphics to be mediocre at best but thats far from true. The graphics of this ...  Read the complete review

"Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival" is a video game released for the Gameboy Advance console in 2001 by Capcom. It is a fighting game based on the "Street Fighter" series. In the United States, the game received a rating of "T" by the ESRB panel which deemed it suitable for teenage years and above due to its violent content. Turbo Revival is based on the "Street Fighter II" video game which is, personally, one of my favourite releases to the series. Including the original cast of eight characters; Ryu (Japanese martial artist), Ken (Ryu's former training partner), E. Honda (Japanese sumo wrestler), Chun-Li (Chinese ...  Read the complete review

Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival seriously needs absolutely no introduction. After all, If you've ever picked up a controller, you've played around with an incarnation of the Street Fighter II series...and if you haven't, you're a liar. The game that Capcom has produced for the Game Boy Advance is, at its core, the absolute final, finished, we're-all-done-let's-move-on-to-version-number-three edition of the classic Street Fighter II series that wound down in arcades back in 1994. And it's a testament that a existing game can both work so well and not-so-well on the GBA hardware, as the system on the inside has the right stuff, but on the ...  Read the complete review

Well, I can certainly say that over the past few years, us Ninty?s have been deprived. Deprived of a hugely successful fighting game, a game which gave fighting a whole new meaning. This game was Street fighter. For a long time we have been waiting for a decent beat ?em up. Finally now we can say that it has a arrived. With some of the most well known characters in the gaming world and a reputation to die for, this game couldn?t be a failure! Sure thing, it was incredible. It had everything the old SNES version had with a bit more. Like all the good Street fighter games from the past, this one had the main arcade mode. Go through every fighter in the ...  Read the complete review

I have been playing fighting games for a very long time - from the first Street Fighter - to Tekken 4......boy....I do believe I must have played each and every great fighting game!! Now Street Fighter 2 was a special game. It was like the first home arcade experience - released ages ago on the SNES!! It was quickly followed by the likes of Mortal Kombat and many other clones, but none managed to match its gameplay style or lastabilty (except for SNK's King of Fighters series!!). Anyway, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Revival on the GBA is a very nice piece of nostalgia. It's basically a re release of the 'super' edition of Street Fighter 2.. it ...  Read the complete review
