Street Fighter 4 It's A Second Chance to Perfect your Skills

By Paul Adler


Who doesn't enjoy a good smack down every now and then? The first new installment in over a decade to this franchise is meeting with wild anticipation. It's a chance to sharpen your talents and learn tons of new ones. Oh, and original players are back. If you've ever played a Street Fighter game such as Wonder versus. Street Fighter (for the Playstation) you know those characters are troublesome. In Street Fighter, fighting as the character of your choice, you had to battle wild opponents to reach the final bosses which were chosen by the computer. Characters had an armoury of fighting moves for each personality. In successive versions, new moves like throws were added as well as new characters to portray. Ryu, one of the first characters has been a mainstay throughout the franchise.

The order of Street Fighter 4 isn't after the 3rd version but is set to occur at a time between Street Fighter II and Street Fighter III. All of the original characters are back in action including Chun-Li. Isn't there a new movie out, Street Fighter: If it's a success it can only further game sales of this new version and the ones before.

Street Fighter 4 has been released in 2009 for the Xbox 360. Fans of the first hand-to-hand combat game will not be disheartened. In the first, there had been 2D battling with 2D graphics. Game-players liked the feeling of the characters and their ferocity in battle. As the moves were improved, players could throw fireballs and flaming punches. Each character has its own unique fighting style.

In the latest version, the graphics are major. The original twelve warriors and some further characters are shown in clear color still fighting on the classic 2D style but the background has an element of the 3D going on. Like the original, there is a health meter at the bottom to show just how strong your attacks are to your contestant. New mixture moves thrill players old and new. If you have never played a Street Fighter Game before, you may enjoy its mixture of old school video game style with new college graphics. With each new character you unlock there are more options for play. There's the addition of focus moves that can be used as a last ditch effort to stun your competitor when you're out of options. And, with the web feature of the Xbox 360 you have never-ending opponents, who've also become good at Street Fighter, to fight.

Miss the colonnade but yearning for something new? Street Fighter 4 mixes the very best of both worlds which is what game players say implies a good franchise evolution. The game is rated T for teenagers due to intense fight sequences.
