Street Fighter X Tekken for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I've always been more of a Tekken fan. Even before I knew Tekken existed, back when I was 11 and my friends were kicking my butt at Street Fighter II, I knew the Street Fighter system was not for me.

That was 20 years ago, and not much has changed. I like having different buttons for my different limbs, rather than the light/med/heavy system. I like 3d movement. I like the balance of realistic martial arts combined with fantasy elements and over the top action. I just prefer Tekken.

This game is very polished, and pretty friendly to the new (or skill-challenged) player. I'm sure that if I had gotten into it I would find a lot of depth and enjoyable gameplay, but after a few minutes of not being able to figure the timing on a counter after about 30 tries, I decided to mail it back and wait for Tekken X Street Fighter.

This game sadly did not live up to expectations of it. When you hear "Street Fighter X(just another way of saying Vs.) Tekken" you would think "Oh this will be fantastic!" WRONG! The system is way to complex between the "power stances" of the tekken characters, to the gem system, X combos, even the pandora effect. Heck, even the storyline is confusing. WHy are there different openings for different people? and how many different combinations of people can u put together?????
It doesnt feel like a Street Fighter Game. Capcom vs Snk 2 would CRUSH this game. It was simple and to the point. The groove system could easily be picked up, but this, this is just sad. Like an attempt on Namco and Capcom saying "we need a new idea to make some quick money so let's just slap somethings together." Come on capcom...you can to better. They should just go back to the 2-d days of Capcom vs. Snk 2.

Unlockable Characters!!! Come on, what is the deal Capcom? One of the best parts of fighting games is to beat the game and unlock a new character or accomplish some side game and unlock a character. I'm a HUGE Tekken fan and a decent Street Fighter fan, so I'm more excited for the Tekken x Street Fighter game, but I wanted to give this one a try too. The moment I found out that all new Characters are DLC I sent the game back. Firstly I'm not going to spend money on characters for a game I'm renting and secondly I see incentive in beating a game just to get a "Tile" for my online fighting profile or whatever. I rated the game a 6 because it does stay true to the Street Fighter style and I enjoyed the double team moves and seeing how the Tekken character's moves transitioned to Street Fighter controls, but the lack of incentive to beat the game and the fact that there are ZERO unlockable characters ruined this game for me.

bad graphics, and horrible gameplay

THIS GAME STINKS

this sucks, but only because it's ran on the street fighter fighting engine and graphics, if it were the tekken graphics and fighting engine it would have been a great game

Soo I really wanted to rent this game because I like both titles, but I'm seeing a lot of mixed reviews. Luckily I'm just renting it, I remember reading about this game a while back and thinking HOLY SHLIT!!! But so far I'm hearing a little of everything from all sides, SF/TKKN fans and neutral parties. Hopefully it turns out ok...for me anyway. By the by, TEKKON X STREETFIGHTER tba if you weren't all up on the namco/capcom crossover like i was. CANT EFFIN' WAIT!!! Hopefully namco's version of the crossover one ups capcom.

a good fight game controls simialr to streetfighter 4 sooooooooooooo not happy with that cuz it so difficult to understand but its a good game to play

The tekken characters all suck. they have no flow to them what so ever. This has all the allure of a lame arcade game.

Great game indeed, i love the character selection and the fighting mechanics and moves. I'm a big fan of both street fighter and tekken so it's even better for me. Can't wait for the Tekken version!

Speaking of which, people need to stop saying it should be more like Tekken and just WAIT FOR THE TEKKEN VERSION.

but i havent recegame and it has been shiped on the 16

is not waht i expevt it i gueess i like better the marvel vs capcom 3

Okay being a life long Street Fighter fan these last games of the series have been a Let down. Starting with street fighter 4, I mean unreal finishers to perform and another verison of the came in tow. Street Fighter X Tekken on the other hand I was exited for, to see the two different fighting styles collide in battle. Upon playing my copy of the game the Hype was over within a few min. No real advancement was made other than easier to perform finishers. The game is the same as SSF4 with no flare for what Tekken can do. All street fighter style combat with no Tekken fight mechanics to truely changed the game up so my attention for it was lost.

This game should be called "Street Fighter #who knows anymore, featuring Tekken fighters."

It was a risky move to try to take a game like Tekken and attempt to bind that feeling and style of play to a 2D fighting plane, like Street Fighter. I have to say it failed miserably in my mind, and I think this is just another market saturating Street Fighter game. Tekken characters don't shoot fireballs and stuff...so I'm confused.

This was also the absolutely most complex and frustrating control scheme I've ever laid eyes on. I'm no fighting genre expert, but the learning curve here is extremely steep. You need to be unbeliveably precise at these types of games just to simply grasp the concept of the new controls, power moves, secondary moves, and 100 other named moves.

The real change here is the addition of GEMS. There are hundreds, and can be used to add real-time in game bonuses like autoblock throw attempts, or make a combo easier to perform, and 5000 other little add-ons. It becomes so complex that you could mess around with this for an hour and spend no time fighting at all. You have 2 different schemes you can attach to 1 character, so you can change a class of gems if that's not working, and obviously edit as you like. KISS it. Keep it simple stupid. They did not use the KISS method.

Tekken is so much more focused on combos, ground pounds, throws, and other manuevers. It doesn't fit well with Street Fighter's style. Now if you did Tekken vs. Soul Caliber...now that would be a game. Unless you only play these types of games would I recommend this, otherwise go play MvC3.

Im not hating on this game at all so let me be clear on that.
The graphics and the gameplay of the game itself is solid and very cool. Where the game lacks for me is the single player. I'll completed 2 play throughs and there is no real story. I was expecting a story mode in depth like that of the tekken games with cool endings. Multi player is frustrating if your not a die hard fighter gamer. In some sessions i played i wasnt able to land 1 successful strike. Im not a good fighting game gamer so i dont really care for the mutiplayer . the single player story mode is where this game fell short for me.
