  1. If you ever enjoyed Street Fighter by UserChrisCanter4 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Then you owe it to yourself to pick this up. The graphics are absolutely phenomenal; it's literally like playing an HD cartoon. All of the tweaks to update the game have resulted in a massively improved Street Fighter that still retains all of the fun of the old versions. Online play is phenomenally good; I see a tiny bit of stutter at the beginning of a match, and outside of that I might as well be placing my quarter next to the TV to signal that I've got next.

    If you ever think you and your friends might want to sit down and play a few games of SF for old times' sake, then you should have this version. It's just that well done, and the price is very reasonable.

    Just beware the online community: if you think you're good at Street Fighter, there are some people on there who will quickly set you right.

    The whocares tag really surprises me. Granted... I don't care about Street Fighter. But this - an industry behemoth like Capcom not just stealing fan work, but actually approaching them, and crediting them for it in a commercial game, is pretty awesome. This is the audio equivalent of Valve cooperating with the dudes who made Counter-Strike.

      Funny example. I really wish Valve would do something like this with Counterstrike.

      Theres so much potential still left in that old game, and such a huge community willing to meet it.. yet instead we're stuck with a dwindling away game or an update that left so much to be desired.

      Please valve, at least give us the 1.6 sourcecode and maybe accept a few patches that come your way. The "people will use it to cheat" excuse falls flat when people can already cheat just as well without it.

    I wouldn't bet on them doing something of this level again. Development went way over initial costs and time. The end product is totally worth it, but this game got off to a rocky start because they didn't realize they'd have to completely rebuild the game from the ground up.
