When Street Fighter IV was pitched as a close successor to Street Fighter II (and even takes place chronologically directly after SFII and before SFIII), I became excited and thankfully, it delivers on that promise. It shares plenty in common with its 15 year old brother and adds just enough depth, fighters and features to make it feel like a completely new yet familiar experience. If you have given up on fighting games because nothing was as fun as Street Fighter II in your best friend’s house back in the ’90s, or you’re interested to see what a purely fun and well crafted fighting game can do in this generation of gaming then you owe it to yourself to pick up Street Fighter IV.
