Manufacturer's Description

Amazon.co.uk
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 advances 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-honoured 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 favourite 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:

Abel from 'Street Fighter IV' 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 from 'Street Fighter IV' Crimson Viper
This tough and beautiful agent assumes a businesslike demeanour, ignoring all emotion and obligation to her fellow man. She wears a high-tech suit filled with deadly gadgetry..
El Fuertes from 'Street Fighter IV' El Fuertes
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 from 'Street Fighter IV' 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.

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:

  • 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 Fuertes, 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-fuelled 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.
New Combat Features: Focus Attacks and Ultra Combos
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 cinematic 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.

Street Fighter returns 11 July 2009
Platform for Display:PC
Fun:   
This game seems almost to have come out of the blue to make a surprise appearance on the PC. It is the latest in the long-running series and was very well received in it's original console format.

The developers have done a good job of porting the title over to the PC, and it should perform smoothly on only a mid-level system or better. There are plenty of options to configure the setup to suit your hardware. However you cannot use your mouse to operate the menus, you have to instead configure your gamepad first to mimic the buttons of a 360 controller.

Once into the game you will find a highly polished title. The graphics are beautifully drawn in a stylised fashion and the backgrounds are full of life. It will look great if you run it on a big monitor.

There are several play modes available. Arcade mode sees you fighting through a series of opponents, Vs mode allows you to fight one-off matches against a friend or the CPU, and there are Training and Challenge modes to hone your skills with.

There are 25 characters in the game in total. Only 16 are available at the start, 12 of them classic:- Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, Blanka, E.Honda, Guile, Zangief, Dhalsim, Balrog, Vega, Sagat and Bison, and 4 new ones:- Rufus, Crimson Viper, Abel and El Fuerte. You have to beat arcade mode with certain characters to unlock the remaining fighters. The extra characters are:-
Cammy - beat arcade with Crimson Viper
Fei Long - beat arcade with Abel
Gen - beat arcade with Chun Li
Rose - beat arcade with Bison
Sakura - beat arcade with Ryu
Dan - beat arcade with Sakura
Akuma - beat arcade with all the above and then once more
Gouken - beat arcade with all the above and then once more
Seth - beat arcade with all 24 of the other characters (!)

The gameplay will feel very familar to anyone who has ever played a Street Fighter game before, although the new characters add some extra variety. The game doesn't have the depth or realism of something like Virtua Fighter 5, but it offers frenetic, highly playable arcade action with plenty of over-the-top special moves.

Onto the negative:- The subject of the difficulty of the final boss in arcade mode has been much discussed elsewhere. This personage is nigh-on-impossible to beat in even the easiest difficulty mode. He has all the other characters' best moves plus many cheap super moves of his own. If it wasn't necessary to play Arcade mode to unlock all the characters then I wouldn't even bother playing this mode as this final character almost ruins it.

The game is probably at it's best anyway when played against a friend, or online.

In conclusion, if you are a fan of the series or of the fighting genre then this PC version will be very welcome, and it would be nice to see more fighting games released on the PC in future.

Fun:   
Now i don`t use a PC for arcade games. I have a couple of sims and such, but usually its for work. Anyway, I felt like going back to something quick, yet satisfyly violent from my old arcade days, but i don`t have a modern console.

StreetFighter 4 caught me by surprise. I checked the reviews and took a chance. usually, PC fighters are usually rubbish, but this game is very good.

It has that great arcade start up routine to set the adrenalin going and gets you straight in there, no waiting. The game plays on a 2D plane, but uses limited 3D. Often you`ll see that stuff happening in 3D as characters use special abilities which are very dramatic, over-the-top and fun. A few of the characters are still there and one of my old favourites `thunder thighs` Chun Li is still there and with the impossible helicopter special that made her a fave for me 15 years ago in the arcade!!

The controls are the typical streetfighter controls and after 15 years still take some finger dexterity to pull off the harder ones with the control pad. I still have yet to do Chun Li`s super special. Maybe it`s my bigger fingers from when I was a teenager...

The AI is pretty tough and smart just on Medium, seemingly able to adapt fast to different tactics you use. Also, how is it on one day I was able to get to the 5th level adversary relatively easily then the next day it just kept battering me on level 1? I spent 2 hours trying to beat it on the same level (Medium) and it was as if it`d learned and pushed up its own difficulty! I wasn`t tired... The game certainly don`t play nice- even Easy is quite a challenge. but I like this, means the game willlast.

Multiplayer: I don`t do multiplayer, but I can say that Windows live had no problem with me staying Offline which is also another great reason to purchase. I installed the entire thing completely disconneceted from the net no probs, just a code required. I hate these more draconian DRMs and refuse to buy such games with it.

It has great cartoon\arty graphics which can be altered in 3 styles. The graphics are excellent for the characters as you see their expressions and all that during a fight. It`s quite funny looking at the stunned face of Chun Li as she flies through the air after being punched skyward in a 3D special. Some pretty sexy cartoony female characters in their too, I might add.

The backgrounds are also well drawn and animated. after a while you`ll realise just how much life is going on. For instance, people will see the fight and run forward to watch. they`ll wince or duck and even clap or boo after a battle. Watchers will fall out of windows or off a seat and even a passing cyclists fell off his bike after one big punch between fighters and someone else helped him get up on his bike again! Basically, the backgrounds react to what`s going on in the fight. brilliant!

I don`t like the corny singy menu music, but the ingame battle music is great and changes depending on the situation, say if one of you or about to lose, the music becomes more suspenseful. In the second round the music becomes more excited than in the first round. There`s a Replay which never seems to work, at least not Offline.

Negatives?

1.Well, there could be more characters, although you can free more. I`m still working on getting the Bruce Lee clone which will probably be my male-affirmative action character!
2.Menu music is rubbish.
3. Not much in Offline modes. I would`ve liked more Offline modes, but everyone except me it seems, is online crazy.
4.Oh yes, more costume designs would`ve been good, but guess what? You can get loads of SKINS for the PC version from great Modders! i already have about 20 for various characters, so that makes up for the Offliner as well as Online.
5.Slower than previous SF, but i actually like that.
6. Story is like a very bad Japanese manga movie where nothing actually makes sense!
7. How do I get the Replay to work- or is it only Online?

A recommended game for those wanting a good PC beat-em-up and harking back to the good old days of gaming!

2D or not 2D 13 Dec 2009
Platform for Display:PC
Fun:   
I was suprised to see limited reviews on this game and was desperate to contribute because it is a good game and deserves more recognition. It seems like to should be forgotten since the arrival of the Tekken and soul calibur series. 3D and mashing was the way forward and never look back.

I welcome the timely return of the SF series to find:

1)) It has not gone 3D and stays strictly as a 2d fighting game.

2) All the classic characters that made street fighter the game it was return. Guile is an annoying character to play against like usual. sonic bung-sonic bung-leg sweep- fish kick!

3) Introduces a trial mode to help develop your understanding of the characters style of play and to unlock bonus material. This also includes crazy but addictive combo trials which can lead to aching thumbs.

4) Online gameplay. Very addictive. The majority of players seem better mannered when they have lost or won a fight unlike if you are playing the ps3 version. OR unless you are called LORBUC....no doesn't matter.

5) It requires some technique, the more technical the better, likelier and more satisfying the win. Difficult to mash your buttons in the hope of a win.

Please note:

Requires a bit of clever play and technique when playing difficult and "difficult" online opponents.

The game is only as good as the joypad/joystick. Moves can be executed well with a ps pad. You can buy a pad/usb converter from amazon. The xbox pad is great for other games but sadly will not work well in this one. You will know when you sho-ryu-ken FADC only to find you have jumped...into another fish kick.

The graphics are great, much better than the PS3 version and will run smoothly as long as you have a reasonable spec. I run the game on XP/AMD X2 2.8ghz/ATI 4670/4GB Ram.

Only con is that the game is slightly slower than the PS3 version. So don't jump into an online match on your little bro's ps3 version until you adapt to the tempo.
