Street Fighter IV

I’ve received my copy of Street Fighter IV yesterday and I gotta say the game’s absolutely stunning. The ONLY thing I found that’s pissing me off about the game is Seth (the last boss unless you’re trying to unlock Gouki / Akuma or Gouken)! He is by FAR the cheapest bastard that Capcom’s EVER pulled out of their asses, absolutely no contest! Gill, Shin Gouki… nah serious that guy’s got the ‘FUCK YOU BUTTON’ on lock! Yami in タツノコ vs CAPCOM (Tatsunoko VS Capcom) you could at least outskank with continuous jabs and advanced guards. Hell anyway I did unlock everyone yesterday apart from Seth as for that you’ll have to play through the game with EVERY Character so that’ll take me a bit longer.

Overall the graphics are, hands down, absolutely beautiful – even if you don’t like the art direction they’ve taken for the characters, the art style that the whole game features is something that compares to games like Odin Sphere & Fragile Sayonara Tsuki no Haikyo. The Soundtrack from what I could hear so far is a good mix of old remixes and brand new tracks. Gameplay – although Street Fighter still defies everyone who can’t be bothered to learn basic strategies, it’s the best fighter in… since 3rd strike!

If I get around to it, I will put up a proper review for the game.
