Reviews
[ 9.3 ] IGN PS3 says "The good news is that Street Fighter IV is an outstanding title and one of the most enjoyable fighting games I've ever played. Capcom has managed to strip away the baggage that has accumulated around the series over the years and returned to the franchise's roots. The result is a game that plays very much like a purified, simple fighter -- but with several modern enhancements to enrich the combat. If you've been playing Street Fighter for years, this game will feel like an old friend. If you're completely new to the scene, Street Fighter IV is a great place to start. "[ 9.5 ] IGN Xbox 360 says "Essentially, the home port of Street Fighter IV is the very definition of arcade perfect. The Street Fighter phenomenon is one that's so close to a whole generation's heart that it would be foolish to try and offer a definitive judgement on the new formula, the debate over whether jettisoning the hardcore baggage of the third game and its satellites and making a spiritual return to Street Fighter II unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. We will however say this – Street Fighter IV is the most engrossing one-on-one beat-'em-up we've ever played."
[ 9.0 ] IGN Xbox 360 says "We love 2D and we love Street Fighter III, but the implementation of the new visual style and more accessible gameplay in SFIV is close to flawless. "
[ 10 ] GamesRadar - Reviews says "So here we are then. Street Fighter IV. A game which a couple of years ago existed only as an unlikely fanboy dream, but which now elicits a passionate response from absolutely everyone, be it nigh-religious fervor or a wrinkle-nosed dose of "Whut?" But which faction is right? The enthused or the confused? Well here's a clue. It's the former, without a single doubt."
