This review is purely my opinion and based on how much I enjoyed the game. With that being said, I'm a bigger fan of the Tekken series than Street Fighter. That has not stopped me from playing the Street Fighter games at all. I've been playing since Street Fighter 2 back on the Genesis.
The Good:
- Great graphics
- Huge Selection of Fighters
- Smooth Fighting
- An actual story
I will say this. If you are getting this game for a single player experience, you will be extremely disappointed. The story is pretty weak
The Bad:
- The game isn't fun
I was super hyped for this game to come out and when it finally did I felt let down. The fighting is smooth but broken. The combo system felt like a cheap version of MK3. You can do combos for days with ease and if you get a person in a corner... it's over.
- Balancing for Online
This game has so many cheap moves that its stupid. These are in turned exploited online. Capcom has made the game in a way that allows cheap players to excel by doing the same move over and over again. There aren't any True Combo breakers so you will just have to deal with being destroyed until you learn how to be cheap. If you don't believe me, go play a day of Online. You'll see.....
- Most Tekken fans will not enjoy this game
As started above, I love Tekken. I was hoping to hop on this game and have a bunch of fun....this was not the case. Yes, it is cool to see them in the SF world but playing this game only made me wish there was a new Tekken game out. Playing each character only made me wish for more fleshed out gameplay.
Summary:
This game was a huge let down for me. I was expecting some thing awesomely unique like MvC or CvS but.....we got some a game that is just a dumbed down SF4 with Tekken characters. This game is not worth your $60. If your REALLY into fighting games, then try you might like it but for most people they will be disappointed. I hope Namco does a better job with TxSF because SFxT was bad in my opinion.
