Horrible

Annoying the Max...Do not waste your time.

So Street Fighter IV is basically every other street fighter, expect for the small problem of them made it terrible. The combo and move system do not have "intermediate" moves. Its basically easy then hard, no in between. There are server balancing issues, where basically one character is definitely someone you will want to pick to beat up on people ie the cheap character. Also the "revenge" system they added into the game is just stupid. Its difficult to activate and can just be more of a inconvenience than anything. I don't recommend even wasting your time renting this game, unless you are just really into fighting games. If Fighters are your #1 genre, then by all means this is probably for you, but if you are just looking for something that is fun to play and fairly easy to get into, this isn't it. I consider myself to be a pretty avid gamer, and was A+ rank in Dead or Alive 4, so I don't consider myself to be poor at fighting games. This game was just overwhelming frustrating. If nothing else, just get Street Fight II from the arcade, its basically the same game, just its actually fun. If you are actually considering buying the game, setting your money on fire would be a much better investment.

This is the one time since I've been a gamefly member that I couldnt wait for a game to get to me in the mail, so I just went ahead and bought it yesterday morning.

To give you an idea of how addictive this game is, I started playing it around 8am yesterday morning, and had ALL the characters unlocked around noon! But everything about this game, is right on point. The graphics, especially on HDTVs, are beautiful. The gameplay, is your original 6 button arcade style. And then, the online feature...THIS is what makes this game sssoooo addictive. Once you get online, it just gives you all kinda nostalgia of back in the day when you were at the arcade playing SF2 for hours at a time. Which is exactly what I did once I got online with this game. It also has a feature that shows and lets you practice the moves with all your characters, which is good to make use of before getting online.

As far as cons...really there are none. Maybe that you dont have access to every character from the jump. Because I could have went without beating the game with so many different people to get them. The main reason I got this for, was the online play. All in all, this game has to get a 10. This one is a gem!

Dude this game is boring! I remembered street fighter being fun but this one is just the same thing over and over again. But at least is looks good.
