    SF 4 SF IV Streetfighter IV Down, diagonally down-right, right, punch... there's very few commands that are so inextricably woven into a gamer's psyche as the iconic Street Fighter moves.  The significance of Capcom's 2D fighter series cannot be overstated, such was the importance of Street Fighter II during the 90's that the promise of an arcade-authentic port to the SNES back in 1992 is still Capcom's best selling title to-date.  It's hard to imagine anybody not...

    This only really affects the single-player, of course, as the core of the game really should be fighting human opponents, either on the same machine or using the various online modes that are available (which we couldn't test at the time of writing, as no other bugger had a copy). You should also probably be considering using a gamepad as well, even though I still firmly believe the keys could be an adequate substitute if they were implemented correctly. While the D-Pad...

    Street Fighter IV has been out for a while now, on consoles.  It was recently released on PC as well, which I must say, is the best port I've ever played in my life, and I'm a Tetris fan, haha. Before I start getting into the game mechanics, lets just look at the graphics for a moment.  I mean, they're stunning. They're no Crysis, but for a Street Fighter game, these graphics are brilliant, and stay true to the traditional Street Fighter look. On the left is a... Read more

    Writing about sequels is usually easy – obviously it requires a good knowledge of the original game, which can then be used to elaborate, compare and break apart the new release. Graphics and audio are usually improved, the gameplay often refined or takes a step forward, bringing some innovative new bullet points with it for the marketing department to push and drive sales.

    Fun: This review is from: Street Fighter IV (PC) (Video Game) I'd consider myself a casual beat 'em up fan, I only really play when amongst friends, however I was very much into Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter way back when. This game though, I just could not get to grips with at all. It's annoyed me so much I just feel like I need to give it a bad review and then blend the CD. My frustration basically stems though from how difficult single player is. I reckoned that if... Read more
