Street Fighter IV (PS3)

Black Belt

Like any modern fighting game, SFIV has unlockables everywhere. Aside from the already beefy roster consisting of the original twelve World Warriors from SFII, you can unlock twelve more as you progress through the game, not to mention a wide array of alternate costumes. There's also a nifty movie gallery with all of the prologues and endings to each character's respective story. If that doesn't keep you busy, then the extra modes such as Time Attack and Survival can definitely help players hone their skills.

Street Fighter IV (PS3)

A diehard fan of the franchise through and through, Street Fighter IV is better than I could have hoped for, as I've been openly skeptical about the game for months. After clutching my copy of SFIII: Third Strike to my chest for so many years as my last memory of the late and great franchise, I feel like I can finally let go and try something new, yet familiar. At the end of the day, that's really what this Street Fighter is: it's a title that's built for newcomers, yet tweaked for old school vets from the arcade and home console days. If you like fighting games, don't hesitate to pick this one up; heck, even if you've never thrown a "Hadouken" in your life, it's worth getting. Chances are, you'll find yourself getting hooked.

PROS: Tweaked fighting system works for casual and hardcore players, online play, large roster includes many classic and new fighters
CONS: Horrible anime sequences with paper-thin storylines, spotty voice acting on certain characters (cough, Blanka)

I got the game today. It is deffinetly the best Street Fighter to ever come out. Oh word to the wise, get an arcade stick. You will drive yourself nuts trying to pull of a Shoryuu Ken and instead your character is jumping up and punching air and that's on a PS3 controller.

Yeah, I just mashed on the shoulder buttons before getting the hang of that sweet 8-button layout on the MadCatz arcade sticks.

The Dpad on the PS3 controller is fine, but in order to effectively do all the moves in the game you need an arcade stick.. the shoulder buttons just dont cut it.

That arcade stick sucks, the controller is what people are used to...people act like the arcade stick is sooooooo superior...I beg to differ.

I haven't been able to get into fighting games since i was 11 beating my cousins on their own N64, or beating my sister at MC2 on sega.

y'all just sux on with dual shock after a few rounds its starting to feel like alpha. i rented it i wont be buying it till after Killzone 2 one week away,.

I mean this in no offensive way to anyone. As a matter of fact it's a compliment to video game makers. Gamepro, you need to raise your standards. This and Killzone 2 both got a 5 outta 5. Now, not that you had low standards to begin with, it's just that you are behind. Video games have passed your old standard and you need to make a new one for future generations. Not saying those two games dont deserve them. I'm actually glad Killzone 2 got a 5 because that reassures me that i didn't waste money reserving it, which had never even crossed my mind.
