    If you enjoy the Street Fighter series, or the Marvel fighting games that Capcom made back in the day then this is one you shouldn't miss.

    Still a magnificent fighter but it lacks new features and the depth of its stable mates. [Sept 2009, p.80]

    A fighting classic that is truly worthy of your hard-earned cash!

    It may not be the most diverse package and it certainly won’t convert the non-believers, but for those who have fond memories of insane Wolverine and Spiderman and Ryu v. Cyclops and Cable and Sentinel bouts, it’s the same great taste you’ve enjoyed for years. And on top of that, it’s way cheaper to buy a copy of this download than any other method of picking up this game.

    Having been an avid street fighter player for well over a decade it was with surprise that I never played this game before it came out on PSN. Firstly, it is quite different to Street Fighter 2->4 in the mechanics of the game, its faster paced and quite frenetic but it is possible to put together some major combos. The range of characters is vase but finding players outside of Magneto, Sentinel, Psylocke and Storm is unusual except maybe a few SFIV players as Ryu or Cammy. I prefer SFIV but I do like this game but my score reflects that the game is not as much to my taste as the Street Fighter series.

    I would also mention that the training option is not great, you cant record moves for the dummy and practice against certain combos for instance....    … Expand
