Product Description
Amazon.ca Product Description
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.

 | 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.

To buy or not to buy the SFIV Collector's Edition..., Feb 18 2009
By Geist - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Street Fighter 4 Collector's Edition (Video Game)
That is the question.What you get with this
Street Fighter IV game for Xbox 360
-What more can I say about this? The game is solid to me, they really put a lot of thought into the technical aspect of the game and it has a high replay value. The characters look amazing and the online battle system is mostly fluid when connected to someone with a decent connection.
A limited-edition Crimson Viper figurine (This figure is the quality and size of a gashapon figure)
"Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind," a 65 minute anime movie created by Studio 4C (output at 720p), that sets up the story of Street Fighter IV by explaining events post-SFII. (The animation quality is not the best I've seen, I don't see myself watching this more than once or twice again. It IS nice to see Yun & Yang make an appearance)
A mini-strategy guide from Prima, written by the same people doing the full-on guide and illustrated by Udon Comics
-Artwork is not up to par with most of the Udon Street Figher comics, which I like quite a bit. The guide shows you special commands for the four newcomers, as well as basic combos for them. The Challenge mode in game combo tutorial is much more useful than this guide.
The CD soundtrack
-The music in this game is a mixed bag. I am sure everyone will find equally enjoyable and not so enjoyable tracks. There are some remixes of classic SF2 tracks which old school fans will hear right away.
(3rd strike followed by HD Remix collection much better than SF4 music IMHO)
Additional downloadable content
-This is the brawler pack costume set.
It includes the following costumes:
Mike Haggar (of Final Fight fame) costume for Zageif
Wrestling Leotard for Abel
Chef Uniform for El Fuete
70's type track suit for Rufus
Traditional Sumo outfit for E.Honda
I do not regret the purchase, as I think this is one of the better collector's editions out there. I enjoyed the extra costumes the most.
The game is quite enjoyable and I will be playing it for some time.

Review for contents of this special edition, Jan 8 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Street Fighter 4 Collector's Edition (Video Game)
First let me say that this game is incredible, yet if you are only interested at the game i would highly advise you to skip it and go straight for Super Street Fighter IV as it is even more awesome and dare i say perfect from many respects.Now to the Collector's Edition. One word - disappointed. Why? Cause it was poorly put together and IMO the only redeeming factor is the anime movie included yet even that got me angry! Why? Cause you can only watch it on your Xbox 360, not on any other DVD player or console. And since the 360 is not region free, people who where thinking of buying the American version even though they don't own a NA 360 get screwed, like i did. Why don't they just make it a regular movie DVD??? And let's say they have their reasons for it, why not specify this so we all know? As a Collector i like getting special editions from all around the globe. I got the NA version of the game because of this. Yet i did not know it cannot be played on anything else BUT a 360. I had the same nasty surprise when i bought the Japanese version of Super Street Fighter IV Collector's Edition (only came out in Japan). The where advertising how the anime movie for that game was 360 exclusive and only available in Japan so i had to buy it - yet when i got the game i realized you needed to have a Japanese Xbox Live account cause it was a DLC movie. But did Capcom specify this? No
So here are the good and the bad of the Collector's Edition contents (not reviewing the game itself)
Good
- Anime movie
- Soundtrack
Bad
- packaging is awful and got destroyed very easily during transit
- anime movie can only be played on the console
- the little booklet advertised is too small and thin, it really isn't anything special at all
- the figurine included is awful, feels like something you got from one of those coin-op machines with the toys in those plastic balls. Poor
So bottom line - if you already own Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter IV this edition is not worth it. Then again if you can get it for a low enough price and you are a collector you probably will want to have it.

Street Fighter is back!, Mar 24 2009
By Stanley Fu - Published on Amazon.com
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Street Fighter 4 Collector's Edition (Video Game)
As with any other kid in the 90's, Street Fighter 2 was all the rage in the arcades and when it was released on the SNES. It seemed like 2D fighters kind of lagged a bit in the 2000's as everything moved to 3D and the Alpha series, Vs. games, and SF3 all kind of fell out of the spotlight despite being solid entries. Those games all seemed to attract more hardcore fighters and didn't have the wide popularity that SF2 did.With SF4, I think the 2D fighter is back with a vengeance and better then ever. I've spent about 35 hours playing this already both against the CPU and online and the gameplay is fantastic, being both familiar to old Street Fighter fans and with enough new additions like the Ultra combo and Focus attacks to keep it fresh. While there are some minor issues like the CPU controlled boss Seth, as well as difficulties with the Quick Match options online, the bottomline is the game is just plain fun to play.
The CE comes with an Anime movie which gives some decent backstory to the characters. Each character has their own little opening and ending in Anime form, and the movie does a good job filling in the gaps as some of the character stories in the game are a bit confusing. It's worth a watch once, but nothing particularly great or visually pleasing. The soundtrack is ok, and the toy is a LOT smaller then I thought it would be. It's only about 2 inches tall. The CE probably wasn't worth it, but SF4 is fantastic!
Listmania!
