Street Fighter IV for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

this game is really stupid, especially when fighting seth you can't block anything he throws. any kick hits you, you jump and he counters you attack and he counters grabs you real easy when your about to beat a character they come out with some dumb super move that drains all your energy. this game is a waste.

I can't believe how much of a lame job Capcom did with SF4. If you grew up with the original SF2, this game is NOT for you. First off, the game difficulty settings are a farce; easy should be EASY, and VERY EASY should be so that a 5 year old can finish it. But no, the last boss, Seth, is a pain no matter WHAT difficulty setting you have it on.

The next more frustrating thing, the reason why Seth was so difficult for me, was the whole "focus attack" system. In the old SF2, if you attacked, your opponent would have had to have blocked, or throw a better attack at the same time. But the "focus attack" is some sort of impenetrable shield that the computer is quite adept at using (and I bet a bunch of fan boys out there too), but is quite cumbersome for a mere mortal.

Congratulations, CAPCOM, on duping us all and feeding off our worthless video game nostalgia. SF4 bears a passing resemblance to its predecessors, is only challenging in that it's esoteric "focus" combat system is impossible, and NO E. Honda! Lame.
