Review: Street Fighter IV
- Thread starter John Funk
- Start date
I'm getting this on a pre-order deal from amazon.co.uk
Ultimate Mega Drive (Genesis) Collection + Residential Evil 5 + Street Fight IV for a grand total of £90 (including delivery).
I'm not an old school SF fan but I like fighting in general so was more than happy to have it as part of this great deal.
Looking forward to sitting around with my flatmates and knocking seven shades of shit out of each other (then we'll turn the game on, ha ha ha).

I honestly can't wait for my copy. I really hope Amazon gets it to me for the 20th or earlier. Also got a nice cheap arcade stick too.
Sweet review, echos/confirms what a lot of other reviewers have been saying.

I used to LOVE fighting games, they were easily my favourite genre. Smashing heads in SF2, beatin' bitches in Tekken 3... but lately they've all bored the ever loving crap at me. They were all too technical (VF5) or far too arcadey (Tekken 5) and so I've been bored off my tits with them after about three days.
Hopefully SF4 is the game that can bring back my love for the fighters, but I guess I'll find out on Friday. Anticipating it even more after this review.

I picked up my copy of Street Fighter IV from the local store this morning, then headed out to lunch at the Lebanese place next door. As I walked in, a young boy pointed at me excitedly and said, "Daddy! That man has Street Fighter too!" I looked over, and he was already wearing his pre-order headband.
Now I know this game is going to be something special.

Making fighters mainstream again, huh? Someone told me Soul Caliber IV was going to do that, but then they later told me it didn't. They also mumbled something about invincible hit-frames and cheap-assedness on the internet.
I'm glad they've scaled back some of the complexity though. I started dropping out of fighters around the time that I had to choose what kind of move set I wanted my guy to have: A, B, S, or a tiny icon of a rabbit. When the game actually started I was assailed by so many combo meters and rage bars that I had an epileptic fit, but I still won the match somehow. That, to me, was not Quality Time Spent.
Maybe SF IV will be different... maybe...

Stupid me not buying a stupid 360 and stupidly having to wait for the stupid PC port.
I might buy a 360 just for this, dammit!
