Super Street Fighter IV for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

Street Fighter IV (4) returns with an all new expansion with new characters, all of their alternate cotumes, bonus stages, new online content, and new kick butt finishers! I've played ALL of the Street Fighters, and I can say that this is the all time BEST next to the Alpha series.

If you haven't played the first one and are looking for a great fighting game, go ahead and get the SUPER version, not the original because this tops the original street fighter IV! Btw, for the people that hated the super cheap Seth from the original - don't worry, hes watered down this time around.

Another thing is that the original IV was 60, you can buy this for $20 dollars less and it has way more content than the other. Thank you Capcom for bringing the gamers a fighting game that will be remembered for generations to come.

Simply put: great rental, excellent buy. If you don't like this game, then you must not like true fighting games.

9.25/10

Do you like fighting games? Are you good at them? Then this review isn't for you. You probably already have and love this game. If you don't already have it, rest assured you'll probably like it.

This review is for people like me, who enjoy the occasional fighting game but aren't all that good at them. People who are just looking for a fighting game to try for the weekend and maybe play with a few equally-skilled friends.

To you, I advise you, pass on Super Street Fighter 4.

You see, this game is hardcore. This is an in-depth fighting game with plenty of combos and strategies to use. Which is what you would expect coming from the Street Fighter series. It's a game that rewards you for putting in the time and effort to practice and perfect your technique.

But if you aren't willing to put that time in (and if you are renting it, I assume you aren't), this game hates you. This game will not forgive you for not being able to perform intricate combos on a whim. And did I mention that combos require perfect timing? There is no leeway in terms of when you can input attacks. It has to be absolutely perfect.

Case-in-point, I went into the challenge mode, which gives you specific combos to perform. I had significant trouble with a few characters chaining a standing mid-punch to a standing high-punch, or other simple combos. While I'll admit fighting games aren't my strong point, something that simple shouldn't be so hard to time properly.

I don't mean to say this is a bad game. I really don't. But I will say this game is not a good rental. If you are looking for a good rookie-friendly fighting game, one that is easy to pick up, yet hard to master, this is not the game to pick up. Check out Tatsunoko vs. Capcom or Blazblue for that.
