To be honest this is my first review so im just put it in a pros/cons so you guys can see everything clearly.

PROS:

- 2D playing field with 3D visuals

This adds another layer to make it different from the other Street Fighter games

- New Characters

the new characters such as El Fuerte and Crimson Viper meld perfectly into the Street Fighter world

- New Game Mechanics

The new mechanics such as the Focus attacks and the Revenge guage make this game one that will require alot of time to master but easy enough to pick up immediately

- Trial Mode

This should be in every single fighting game out there. This is a mode where you are shown how to perform every single move on the character. Definitely would do this before you attempt online

- Arcade Game Stick

This is probably the best thing out there to play Street Fighter with. Mad Catz is selling Arcade Game Sticks for the truly nerdy of us all. If you verse someone on multiplayer with this you have a 90% of getting owned. I suggest getting the $150 one and not the $80.

CONS:

- Crashes

During the story mode I crashed three times in total. Not sure what caused it but it did interrupt my flow.

- Frame Rate Dropping

If your fighting and use a special sometimes the first 3-5 seconds after the special the frame rate drops incredibly low

- Cut scenes

Tacked on, 'Nuff said

Random Info:

-I would definitely buy this game as this is going to be one of the classics.

-I would rate this a 9.5

-I played on the 360

This game has all the potential to be great. If it only appealed to fans who are not hardcore combo memorizing gamers. The game has you pressing buttons in certain order to do everything. If you want to be good it will take some serius time put in to even beat the easiest computer level. The only people I reccommend it to is the diehard fans and the incredibly good button-mashers. That is the only way to exceed and button-mashing is not fun.
