  • Summary: At the completion of the second World Warrior Tournament, the Shadaloo crime syndicate was left in ruins, its grandmasters defeated and scattered to the winds. Now, the mysterious Seth, CEO of the S.I.N. Corporation, has set up yet another tournament and invited a blend of old friends and new faces to battle again for the title of the world's strongest. With 25 characters (including the original 12 street fighters), a blend of 2D and 3D graphics, and the new focus-attack system, Street Fighter has returned with a vengeance.… Expand

    Street Fighter IV is the beat'em'up we've been anticipating for ages. It's the perfect synthesis of innovation and classicism, of deep mechanics and easy play. Fun and challenging, the game has stunning visuals, but to enjoy this masterpiece an arcade stick is absolutely recommended.

    After years of absence on PC, Street Fighter comes back to PC with a flawless version of this outstanding fighting game. SF IV is a well balanced, fun and an easy to play but hard to master game, but the compatible version adds some welcome visual changes and a fantastic performance in a huge variety of systems.

    Street Fighter IV on the PC is easily the best version of the game and a must-buy for a fighting game enthusiast, yet not too harsh introduction to a newbie either. The only downside? Arcade style joystick effectively mandatory, driving up the total price of admission.

    At first I was turned off on the presentation when it was first announced but after awhile it grew on me. Smooth play, beautiful rendering and artwork, just a top notch effort even after almost 20 years of continuous Street Fighter productions. And hey, a great PC game to boot. I pretty much have to chuckle at the reviewer who gave this a '0' over online play and what they experienced. I don't think you've played really any game in this genre. If you had you'd know they're all like this, online or not.… Expand

    This game was everything I expected and more and for a few minutes I couldn't believe what a bargain I got from Steam for only £7! It reminded me how a game can be remade and still keep the game play value. The only thing that I can not stand with this game is how hard the A.I. is! I went down the ranks and still haven't completed it on easy! You may well think I'm a noob but your opponent will always find a way to get their ultra combo's out on you! I've put this game to bed and got my SNES out for the time being. Would have rated 8 if it wasn't so damn hard!… Expand

    I liked this game till I realised that you can't play versus on a LAN. Versus only works when on-line unless you share the same PC which SUCKS.. The Graphics and Game play excellent which was exactly what I expected from a CAPCOM STREETFIGHTER Title.… Expand
