X360 - Street Fighter 4

[Anledai]

GAMEPLAY - GREAT
Basic moves are easy to pull off, but controls at first feel very awkward to do special moves.
Super Combos are actually harder than Ultra Combos so it seems.
Alot of Charachters Super/Ultra combos are the same analogue stick + button sequence, or very similar
There are plenty of ways to break blocks, so be careful.
Focus Attacks and EX Special Moves are a worthy addition.

DIFFICULTY - HARD
Arcade Mode = Medium Difficulty and Upwards is REDICULOUSLY HARD for New Players/New to Beat'em Up Players
Challenge Mode = Hard in general, but some sections are considerably easier than Arcade and more enjoyable.
XBOX LIVE = 80% of players fight as Ken. Player Match and Ranked Match options. Good if you have Friends over LIVE with it. No more than 2 people per Lobby though, so you can't have Winner stays on etc.

VISUALS - LIKEABLE
More cartoony than a Masterpiece, but fits really well, makes it feel like Street Fighter.
Probably not a good game to play for Epileptics, LOTS of flashy lights/images/colors.
Considerably more Hilarious with facial expressions than the previous titles,
Ultra Combo that ends in a punch to the gut = Bulging cheeks and eyeballs with freeze frame for a split second

AUDIO - A MIXED BAG
Some proper cheesy songs.Some fit well though, others are poor. But you get used to them.
In Game voices and Cutscenes Dialogue are changeable between English and Japanese, with an English Subtitle option.
Bone crunching impact audio, makes you think '...OUCH'
Fight Narrator is proper annoying though and comes out with some...bad lines.


MY RATING - 8.5/10
Very frustrating at times, but equally rewarding.
Recommended Purchase if you like Beat'em Ups and/or Street Fighters previous incarnations.

b00b sh0t!

There are some much worser freeze frame impacts than that though.

Check out Street Fighter 4 Ultra Combo videos on Youtube or other similar sites, should be plenty uploaded.

Did you guys seriously like this game??
I dont even see why they released it, i mean come on! take a good look at the graphics!
Its even more cartoonyer then the earlier versions!! They could have atleast made the graphics to xbox 360 standards!
Game play and all that must be good i admit but still! Just looking at the back cover of this game made me put it down! very big disapointment for me

Now whos the nooblet navi lol.

Games arn't all about graphics.

Street Fighter II was a 2D beat em up.

That style has been implemented into 3D with Street Fighter 4.

If they crisped it over like Dead or Alive 4 it wouldn't make sense.

Ontop of that there are alot of Street Fighter animés, hence the cutscenes being animé, and the graphical style to try and relate to that in a 3D way.

It could of looked better i do agree, but the graphics work well with the gameplay and if the 2 work together thats all that really matters.

I wouldnt like to suffer on gameplay just to have it look better.

Yes but they should have been to atleast a good standard, Yes i know it helps with the gameplay and the whole anime thing but come on, it makes the game look like it was years older...

I is no noob!!

But yea i trust the game would be good and graphics shouldnt affect that, but just saying they should have done something more
