![]() There Cant Surely be many people out there reading this who haven't heard of or played any of the Street Fighter games before. The thing is, not long after this came out Capcom released Super Street Fighter IV which makes this version of the game kind of pointless…. ![]() It is a game I loved playing when it first came out and I am sure I would have a great time if I were to fire it up now. Street Fighter IV is a truly amazing game. There is a little bit of trash talk before fights and when you fight your “rival” you get an extended animated scene which is cool. I talked about how cinematic the game was, but one thing I have to give special mention to is the way the characters talk to each other. If you had shown me a picture of this back in 1992 and told me that is what Street Fighter would look at, I would have lost my freaking mind! This game is just pure eye candy and I love how each stage has a ton of stuff going on in the background. While this is still a 2D fighting game, the characters are big and beefy and have a ton of personality. ![]() I was blown away by the way that Street Fighter IV looked and I think that it still holds up to this day. You can pick your favorite character from Street Fighter II, which in my case is Ken, and play the game just the same way you did back in the day! It made it a game that all Street Fighter fans could embrace and I thought that was very cool. The thing is, as great as all that is and as much fun as that is to learn. Street Fighter IV also has these awesome Ultra Combos that are like a very flashy and over the top way to bring your opponent down. This is a very deep fighting game with some awesome new systems in place such as the focus attacks which with the right timing can give you a devastating counter-attack. One of the things that Capcom was very clever with here in Street Fighter II was the way that gamers could play the game. The roster is stacked, but by beating the game with certain characters you can unlock hidden ones. The game does not give you all the characters at the start. You will want to beat the game with each character so you can experience their story. The game features many of our returning heroes, but there is a new villain, the cheap SOB that is called Seth.Įach character has their own little story and overall, I would say that this at the time was the most cinematic of all the Street Fighter games to be released at this point. I thought it was ok, but when I heard that Street Fighter IV was going to take place after Street Fighter II, I knew I was going to love it. I feel that with Street Fighter III, fans were kind of divided on the game. The setting of the game is very interesting. It felt like it had been forever since we got a new game in the series and it was exactly what I wanted in a new Street Fighter game. On day one, I was there and picked this up for the Xbox 360. ![]() No-one comes out of this mess looking good, not even the paying audience - ESPECIALLY them! In hindsight, the very last scene sums up the cringe-factor.I vividly remember the release date of Street Fighter IV! I was not lucky enough to have an arcade around me that had this in so I had to wait for the release. As for Raul Julia as General Bison? It was to be his last screen role, completed just before his death (maybe he saw the rushes?) It is a sad epitaph he would never have wished for. From memory, she gets to perform a total of three high kicks which would be unlikely to cause distress to an elderly pensioner. The acting beggars belief, Kylie Minogue's just about topping the list! This is seriously heavy-duty garbage! Much was made of the "singing budgie's" martial arts training for the film. Phony explosions fill the sky, make-up is at the level of Grade 2 face-painting and a script to match. Filmed on the cheap, up on Australia's Gold Coast amidst the worst plasticised sets you ever saw. Playing Colonel William Guile, he leads his commandos against the seriously insane General Bison, dictator and megalomaniac of the fictitious Shadaloo. Is money THAT available to make movies, that such an embarrassment as this could reach the point of actual RELEASE? Maybe no video distributor would touch it and they had no choice? By far Van Dumb's worst flick. Not a solitary video-game has transferred to the big screen with even a modicum of success. "There can be only one".film that is, which is worse than all others and THIS is it folks! A movie for adolescent pea-brains. ![]()
