Street Fighter
With all the different fighting games that have been released over the years, and on countless systems, it is hard to pick the best of the best. One of the series that has stood out above the rest is Tekken. The Tekken series has gotten better and better each installment. There has just been an arcade release of the seventh installment in Japan and will be coming stateside very soon as well as to our home consoles. In the mean time, we will have to get our fighting fix with the new Street Fighter game.
Street Fighter 4, released on both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, has been getting rave reviews from numerous gaming publications. Even more important than the publications is the fans approval of the game, since the fans of the original games love this installment it can be considered a success.
Fans have started falling in love with the characters all over again. All of the original are back with a few new news in their mist. Along with the characters, all their signature moves have followed as well. The series really hit its stride with the second installment of Street Fighter, which was released into arcades in the early nineties. Due to the popularity of the game many sequels were made, as well as live action movies. Although the movies were not a huge success, the gaming fans enjoyed watching their favorite characters and moves come to life.
With the latest installment, although the graphics have been updated, they kept it looking close to the original. The characters look new again, but maintain their classic appeal. The fighting feels new, but yet familiar and anyone who has played the other games will be able to jump right into the action.
Another great feature, besides playing with a friend next to you on the couch, you can hook up to the Internet and play against challengers from all around the world. It is a great way to test your skills and it is easy to find a competitor that will challenge you, but is on your same level as far as skills. I hate losing a hundred times in a row, but it is also no fun to win a hundred times in a row.
