{XBOX360} Street Fighter IV

What an awesome game this is.. the content and attention to detail they've put in to this game is amazing.. There's so much to enjoy and the gameplay just keeps on goin. Chicken can write a better review of it cos he has it, I've just played it on him Xbox lol but it made me want to buy one!

Well were do i start this is a must for anyone who is a fan of the street fighter series!!
What 4 brings to the table is fantastic graphics infused with great cut scenes when performing super combo's and the all new ultra combo's also with strange goings on in the stage backgrounds nothing as of yet i have notice influences your game but a nice addition for the fans out there which brings me to that this game is deffinatly fan orientated.
The actual gameplay is that of the alpha series with a few tweeks and does play pretty much the same so no worries of it being slow like the EX series (which was the 3D versions that came out for those who don't know) although it has a 3D look to it this a 2D beat em up through and through. The tweeks i mentioned are really on the fighting sytem they use which only acually gives you 2 major powerfull moves to dispence at your will these were mentioned earlyer in the form of super combo's like in the alpher series and the new ultra combo's.
Super combo's work similar as before you have a guage that fills on the amount of attack's you perform and it is sectioned into 4 parts this time, the idea in this is it allows you to use parts when you want for other attack's involved in the game like focus attack's and EX moves but it takes a full super combo meter to perform this move using it all when doing so.
Ultra combo's these are the shit and give you the cut scenes mentioned earlyer when perfomed and look even better if you actually finish whoever dares challenge you with one, they are a little bit different form the super combos though as this is a revenge meter so the more you get hit the more it fills and these move can really turn the table on a fight.
There are some new additions to SF4 in the form 6 new characters: C Viper, Abel, Rufus (highly amusing) El Fuerte, the new boss is Seff (unlockable after completing the game with everyone) and the long awaited Gouken he is an unlockable character too along with my personal favourite AKUMA who is also hidden till you access him by defeating him in arcade mode, there are a few other's form the older games to unlock too but you can find out them for yourself if you play it.
With the added challenges like in the alpha series survival, time attack, trail modes adds great content to this game along with this you can be challenged by online players while playing through the arcade mode.
One last thing is for all you anime/manga fans all the story intro's and endings for each character are done in this annimated movie style which i think is a great touch to the game all in all i give it a 10 out of 10 this could be a biased opinion as i'm a big fan of these games

Hope you liked my little review of this and hope you enjoy the game if you choose to buy it, who knows might even come accross you online for a bout or 2
Chickenturbine signing off lol

I want to get this but need to get a pad/joystick as I cant play for any length of time with a standard controller

there are some sweet ass joypads out for this i want one myself

they do all different characters on them to lol

yeah wouldnt mind one of them! but they are all sold out and i dont really want to pay more than about £20

Also got the problem that I'm pretty much the only SF freak amoungst my mates (steve is ok) which makes it a bit boring as I always have to play 1 player games!

yeah was only using the link to show they was out there in case you didn't know about them as for the price in the link god only knows why there up for like $100 that seems just silly but i did see them on play which havent got any left at the mo but hopefully they'll get some back in and i think they was in the region of about 35 squids little bit pricey i know the other thing that i thought aswell i wouldn't mind a look at them first before getting one to check there not made with stuff like a old egg carton's, yoghurt pot's and double sided sticky tape

considering the make is shit if ya buy one your a mug

Theres nowt wrong with madcatz, they make some great console addon gear

Mikes not a true believer of Street Fighter "A true fighter walks in to the ring with all his potential"

Can anyone confirm if this game will be cross multiplayer platform with windows live? i.e xbox360 - PC? cos if it is, we can set some sweet tourny's up It comes out on PC in june as a windows live game. I can't wait!!
