  • 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

    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.

    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.

    Street Fighter 4 is definitely the best fighting game on PC since Guilty Gear #XX Reload. (Which is kind of ironic, because other offerings on this platform are shareware titles and certified trash.) However, the stagnation in the genre does not depreciate Capcom’s merits. Street Fighter 4 is a fast, beautiful game with an intricate combat system and a great soundtrack.

    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.… Collapse

    This game is as slow as thick poo through a funnel. I bet the 90+ ratings come from mag-reviewers with monster PC's at their office. I had too turn off almost all of the graphics on my brand new dual-core AMD with 2GB of memory and a … Expand
