    The perfect entry point into the series for PC gamers. Time to clear some desk space. [Sept 2011, p.82]

    An artfully balanced essential upgrade for Street Fighter IV owners, and an amazing value for newcomers. [Oct 2011, p.80]

    There is no better way to enter the Street Fighter world. Actually, there is no other option if you seriously look for fighting on PC. [Issue#207]

    A really fantastic online fighting game. The single player arcade mode is pretty much pointless other than to see some story cut scenes and whatnot. The trials give you a good training experience with the characters by showing you some of their available combos. But the online is where the whole game is at. Characters are balanced and interesting, combos are hard but incredibly satisfying to pull off and the whole experience is fast paced and great fun! Really the only side on fighting game worth playing! haha (apart from maybe MvC3)… Expand

    I subjectively dislike this game. I objectively think that this game has some of the tightest fighting mechanics and some of the smoothest online implementation in the fighting genre. However the subjectivity kicks back in again when I realize that I don't really care if it has tight fighting mechanics. Mortal kombat might be a slower more methodical, less skillfull game. However the story mode kept me engaged. For people like me who play games for involvement based on something other than competition. This is about as disconnecting as it gets. So what route do I go? Do I not review this at all, and only leave the scoring to the fans of the genre? Must this genre be so polarizing? If street fighter had a story mode with anime cutscenes (like in the trailer for the game) - telling the stories as you went along in the singleplayer mode. I would love the hell out of this game - and since it's a mythos that was expanded brilliantly with the original anime/manga movie - it can be done. I even think the fans would enjoy it, and just play the online/arcade for the pure fighting. So from that standpoint, I don't recommend this game to people who want this genre to expand. I do recommend this game to traditionalists who want a great looking, fast paced, competitive fighting game with smooth online. The pc version is also great, with a smooth framerate and visuals that upscale fantastically to the higher resolution most pc gamers play games at.… Expand

    The game is impossible on a keyboard so you need to buy an xbox controller just to play it properly. Then, the game itself is nowhere near as good as previous Street Fighter games.… Expand
