    The sheer amount of unlockables and additional content ensure that you'll have plenty to uncover. Extend might not be original, but it is built upon the best.

    There haven't been any significant changes to the prior versions - its more like a complete version of the original.

    In terms of value, this is one of the worst fighting game re-releases yet.

  1. This is the best version of a great game. In terms of single player game modes this wipes the floor with Super Street Fighter 4. The problem is the online mode, not that there's technically anything wrong with it but it just seems like there aren't enough people playing this game which is a shame. You often find yourself being matched against the same couple of players and getting anyone to join a team match is pretty much impossible. If you want a 2D fighter for multiplayer get SSF4, if you want a 2D fighter for single player get this. Expand

  2. Overall for £20/$40 you can't go wrong. Yes the Calamity Trigger story is more of a bonus for newer players but it has enough changes I think to warrant another playthrough for players of the previous games. It's also nice to have both story modes bundles on one disc. Not really related to my review but I completely disagree with that official review by **** Code Central, the reviewer only focused on the one new character and the balance changes and nothing else and then complained about the pricing. The only thing I agree with was that CSII isn't getting any of the new additional content. There is enough content here to warrant a standalone game all of which listed below. The game comes packaged with Calamity Trigger's story mode completely redone with a new intro cutscene, artwork and scenarios as well as including the full Continuum Shift story mode, now with paths for the DLC characters. There are two new singleplayer modes, Unlimited Mars which pits you against waves of characters in their Unlimited forms and Abyss mode which earns you in-game currency which can be spent unlocking extra content in the gallery such as announcer voices, character colours (both previously DLC in CSII) or artwork. Six new songs have been included for characters and character specific fights. There is also a new tag-team mode which allows players to now fight in teams online, a great addition I think. Finally there is the new character Relius Clover who is a great addition to the game with his own unique play style. Now to me this is more than enough for the game to be made as a standalone title. It's certainly a lot more than what Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 included over the previous game. Expand
