The characters and environments are rendered entirely in 3D, but the gameplay remains the familiar 2D fighting the series is known for.

We could probably even reference Braid and Geometry Wars as evidence of some pseudo neo-retro revival movement.

Street Fighter IV has changed all of that. In an effort to appeal to a wider range of people, SFIV is actually playable by a scrub like me now.

The first and most critical part of this reboot is the return of fan favorite (read: Street Fighter II) characters like Guile, E. Honda, Blanka, and Cammy, all of whom were absent from the SFIII series.

Best. Fighter. Evar. No, seriously, it's amazing. If you ever dabbled in fighting games, you need to check this one out, and if you haven't, there's no better introduction than what Capcom has crafted here. Man is this game good...

With the exception of some lame anime cinematics in the game's arcade mode, the presentation in Street Fighter IV is simply incredible.

Gamer 2.0
On the whole, Street Fighter IV is a fantastic achievement. It has a great fighting system, excellent visuals and decent audio. There's a good amount of single player content to play through and a functional, though bare bones online component.

That was 17 years ago. In the intervening time, there have been dozens of sequels and spinoffs - the Alpha series being a highlight, while the first attempt to bring the game into 3D (Street Fighter EX) was rather less successful or critically acclaimed.

Street Fighter gurus can jump right into the fight and not miss a beat. Familiar characters perform as they always have with the same controller maneuvers of days gone by, but with a new trick or three worth learning.

With Street Fighter IV the developers have decided to stick to the tried and trusted core 2D gameplay, while on top you will find the line-up of world warriors and their environments all recreated in a unique and vivid 3D style, with each character resemb

Street Fighter has traditionally been a game focused on one-on-one combat on a 2D plane. Over the years, the roster has evolved and various tweaks have been made to the formula, but the core components remain to this day.

It only takes a moment with the game, a decent stick in hand, to know that this is a Street Fighter returned to its roots. A game more about tactics and timing than combos and flash.

For those of you that never left the scene, it's finally time to put down Street Fighter III: Third Strike and say goodbye to 2D sprites. Capcom believes this is the best Street Fighter game it's ever made and we're inclined to agree.

Audio aside, Street Fighter IV is without question the best fighting game available right now, yes, better than Virtua Fighter 5. It boasts the amazing fluidity, balance, and appeal of Street Fighter II and III, with a great sense of reward.

The team has created a fantastic set of mechanics, too. Several return from Street Fighter III, while new inclusions help round out the gameplay. In terms of returning mechanics, the EX system is back, and we couldn't be happier.
