i was anticipating this game for a while. and for the most part, it was fun. new characters and new moves were cool. the 3 levels of easy was kind of ridiculous- i mean, i've been complaining for a long time that the 'easy' setting is never really easy. i firmly believe a true easy setting should allow a total newb to pick it up and win, just to see any ending. adding more levels of easy hasn't fixed the frustration. i got about 95% through the game, all except for a few endings and unlocking Seth finally. well, not one fight put forth a real challenge in 'easiest' mode, as expected. except ONE.....i fought a couple dozen times with El Fuerte against his rival Zangief. could not beat him any way, at all. not once. out of maybe 250 rounds that i had played thus far, this was unbeatable. now i'm no pro, but again, 'easiest'? i think not. that single incident saw me package the game to be sent back. i don't usually give up, but this was just dumb. rent it, play it, like it for what it is, but unless you're a SF PRO for real, don't buy it. mind you, this review was after having the game for a week and playing it almost entirely through. sad... nice graphics. coulda been more
