Street Fighter IV for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Ok, now normally I leave the reviewing up to others but after reading the reviews for this game I felt I had to throw in my two cents. First this game is excellent whether you are a fighting game fan or not. For those of you that don't like fighting games or were expecting something other then Street Fighter I say judge the game on how well it executes its purpose not on the fact that you don't like the genre or that you are really bad at fighting games(Why would you even request a game that your bad at?). Anyway to start the controls are tight and the moves are pulled off flawlessly. If you are a fan of the arcade version you might want to to purchase the arcade stick for nostalgic reasons and to ease the execute of some of the more complicated combos. The new art direction is great and sometimes you forget that you are still in a two dimensional environment. Online play moves at great speeds maybe even a little better then Dead or Alive (which I use as the standard for fighting games online) and players jump in and out of arcade matches with ease. Its like when you were at the arcade (for those of us old enough to remember) and playing when someone walks up drops their quarter and challenges you. I must warn you though if you are trying to get through arcade mode you should turn this option off because the challenges keep on coming. Overall I could not give this game a perfect because the AI in arcade mode is not perfect. It tends to go from moderate to what just happened in a flash (just like DOA) and their are limited customization options which seem to be the standard now.
