Street fighter has come along way since its begginings as a coin-op arcade machine in the back alleys of japans arcade scene. Street fighter 4 or IV was released out into the wild in 2008 and made its way to the consoles the next year. Street fighter is a arcade fighting game and is heavy on action, mixing up a range of powerful martial arts moves and crazy combo's, but also using ranged power ball attacks for the more defensive players. It aims to be more of a purist fighter game, the button mashing that occurs in Tekken will lead to failure almost instantly as you need a good understanding of basic combo's on which to build, otherwise the fight will ...  Read the complete review

Street Fighter 4 PS3 The eighth highest selling game in Capcom's catalogue (as of writing this) is a game I have spent many hours enjoying. Released in February 2009 SF4 was met with critical acclaim and financial success alike being haled as the game that would reignite the gaming world's interest in both the Street Fighter series and the arcade scene, a tall order as although Capcom had found some success with previous titles like Marvel vs Capcom 2 the stand alone series had trouble emulating the dizzy heights of Street Fighter 2/turbo which are (again as of writing this) first and third in the aforementioned list respectively. If you're a ...  Read the complete review

Street fighter 4 is the long awaited return of the street fighter games. This game goes back to its roots with classic characters and classic moves which made the franchise so good in the first place. This time there are only a handfull of new characters and mostly all of them are classic fighters from the excellent street fighter 2.

The game itself plays just like the classic street fighter 2, for example to perform a character's special move is exactly the same combination of buttons that were used in street fighter 2. The classic characters are also present along with a ...  Read the complete review

I picked up the Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition and was somewhat disappointed with the contents. The 2 figures were nice, but the additional Blu-Ray came in a slipcase, and the 'strategy guide' was in reality little more than a leaflet detailing 3 or 4 moves for the new characters. So unless you really, really want the figures, you may be best off sticking with just the game. Anyway, onto the most important part - the game. How is it? Well, it's hard. Really, really hard. You think you're good at Street Fighter? Well, you're not, and SFIV will remind you of that fact constantly. It will punish you. It will haunt your dreams. This game knows it's better ...  Read the complete review

Street Fighter 4 is the latest incarnation of a gaming series that made its debut in arcades way back in 1987 with 'Street Fighter' however the game really became a phenomenon in 1991 with 'Street Fighter 2' with the option to control 8 different characters each with their own individual and unique fighting moves and styles. Since then there have been countless updates and sequels of the 'Street Fighter' series some good some not so good. Also we have seen 'Street Fighters' crown held by many new beat em ups namely the 'Tekken' and 'Virtua Fighter' games which moved over to a 3D format rather than the 2D of 'Street Fighter' So with the last Street ...  Read the complete review
