Street Fighter IV brings the legendary fighting series back to its roots by taking the beloved fighting moves and techniques of the original Street Fighter II, and infusing them with Capcom's latest advancements in next generation technology. The result is a truly extraordinary experience destined to reintroduce players, both familiar with the Street Fighter series and those coming to the game for the first time, to the time-honored art of virtual martial arts.
What Was Old is New Again
Knowing a good thing when they see it, Capcom has gone to great lengths to ensure that everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a hit in the arcades, living rooms and dormitories across the globe all those years ago has been brought back in Street Fighter IV, and this naturally starts with the characters. Fans of the franchise, as well as the fighting genre in general, will be happy to know that whether you prefer to stick with the superior abilities of top tier characters or explore the ins and outs of mid to lower level combatants, when it comes time to pick your fighter there is a wide array of choices. Also, not only will players be able to play as and against their favorite classic characters, such as Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Zangief, Blanka, Sagat, etc., they will also be able to take on new characters. Just a few of these include:
In addition, characters and environments are rendered in stylized 3D, while the game is played in the classic Street Fighter 2D perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes. Six-button controls for the game return, with a host of new special moves and features integrated into the gameplay system. Street Fighter IV brings a brand new fighting game to fans the world over. Key Game Features:
Although Street Fighter IV is designed to draw heavily from past game features in its franchise history, it does offer some stunning new gameplay options. The first of these are Focus Attacks. These moves allow players to absorb the energy from an attack and quickly counter with their own. Used properly, Focus Attacks allow for tremendous flexibility during combat and are the end result of efforts by the game's development team to evolve combat away from the rigid memorization of set combination patterns, giving players the freedom to be creative against opponents. The other new combat feature are new powered up moves called Ultra Combos. Like standard combos their purpose is to unleash maximum damage on an opponent, but unlike the combos of old, when performed correctly these long strings of punches, kicks and moves result in changes to the in-game camera angle and quick cinematics which illustrate the strength of your skills like never before. Taken together, these two new features herald Street Fighter IV as the new king of the fighter genre and a force to be reckoned with for years to come.

Just a few of these include:
 | Abel This young French amnesiac comes from a mixed martial arts and mercenary background and is dedicated to chasing down the remnants of Shadaloo. |
 | Crimson Viper This tough and beautiful agent assumes a businesslike demeanor, ignoring all emotion and obligation to her fellow man. She wears a high-tech suit filled with deadly gadgetry.. |
 | El Fuerte This fighter divides his time between perfecting his Lucha Libre skills and his cooking abilities, yet surprisingly his indomitable spirit is a match for even the legendary Red Cyclone. |
 | Rufus This portly fighter has declared himself America's greatest fighter and uses his own brand of Kung Fu in his decidedly one-sided rivalry with Ken for top dog in the States. |
- 3D environments and characters.
- Traditional "2D" Street Fighter six-button gameplay.
- Classic Street Fighter characters re-imagined for a new generation of gamers, including the original cast of Street Fighter II.
- New brawlers: female super-spy Crimson Viper, lucha libre wrestler El Fuerte, mixed martial artist Abel and more.
- New special moves that go beyond any Street Fighter fan's wildest imagination, including Focus Attacks, Super Combos, and the revenge-fueled Ultra Combo system.
- Amazing locations never seen before in a Street Fighter game.
- New gameplay elements provide challenges for both newcomers as well as the most seasoned Street Fighter pro.

Street Fighter lost it's magic,

This review is from: Street Fighter 4 (Video Game)
I loved the old Street Fighter Games. I was excited to play this one as i thought it will be as fun as the older ones. After a while i found that it was more frustrating than fun to play. The graphics are ok. Some combo are really a pain to do and you got to be lightening fast to make some special ones. The last character of the game is ridiculously hard to fight. I'm not bad at video games but i did not like this game and i think it's a waste of time and there are far much better games to play... so i never bothered to play it again. I will exchange it someday.

$19.99 is a steal.,

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Street Fighter 4 (Video Game)
The only other time it was $19.99 was during the 2009 Boxing Week Sale at Future Shop or Best Buy. After that it has always been sold at $34.99 which is a huge rip, because The next Street fighter title will be out late April 2010 which should cost just a couple dollars more.This Street Fighter IV came in the Greatest Hits box, but there isn't any difference than the original copies (if not much). To the hardcore Street Fighter fans who loved Street Fighter II, this will feel slightly different and you won't be full impressed, but the take on stylizing the game with ink splatters and brush strokes look visually appealing. Everything is 3-Dimensional, but still played on a 2-D platform. Parrying in out, but Focus attacks are in. The game is fairly balanced at a casual level, but at higher levels of play, characters start to separate in terms of who is a better character overall. Though it's not a bad game, it is tough to pick up on, but there isn't too much complex things you have to know in order to play this well, it's mostly knowing how to read your opponent.

This review is from: Street Fighter 4 (Video Game)
Street Fighter IV definitely lives up to the classic predecessors. It has focused on the core fundamentals of the series and brought it into a very appealing next gen presentation. This title has weeded out all the non-sense from street fighter 3 but also added certain features in the fighting system that makes every character a worthy opponent. Its a great game , newbies and hardcore SF fans alike will enjoy this nex gen rendition of a great fighting series
