What Was Old is New Again Knowing a good thing when they see it, Capcom has gone to great lengths to ensure that everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a hit in the arcades, living rooms and dormitories across the globe all those years ago has been brought back in Street Fighter IV, and this naturally starts with the characters.

Also, not only will players be able to play as and against their favorite classic characters, such as Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Zangief, Blanka, Sagat, etc., they will also be able to take on new characters. Just a few of these include: Abel This young French amnesiac comes from a mixed martial arts and mercenary background and is dedicated to chasing down the remnants of Shadaloo. Crimson Viper This tough and beautiful agent assumes a businesslike demeanor, ignoring all emotion and obligation to her fellow man. She wears a high-tech suit filled with deadly gadgetry.. El Fuerte This fighter divides his time between perfecting his Lucha Libre skills and his cooking abilities, yet surprisingly his indomitable spirit is a match for even the legendary Red Cyclone. Rufus This portly fighter has declared himself America's greatest fighter and uses his own brand of Kung Fu in his decidedly one-sided rivalry with Ken for top dog in the States. In addition, characters and environments are rendered in stylized 3D, while the game is played in the classic Street Fighter 2D perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes.

New Combat Features: Focus Attacks and Ultra Combos Although Street Fighter IV is designed to draw heavily from past game features in its franchise history, it does offer some stunning new gameplay options. The first of these are Focus Attacks. These moves allow players to absorb the energy from an attack and quickly counter with their own. Used properly, Focus Attacks allow for tremendous flexibility during combat and are the end result of efforts by the game's development team to evolve combat away from the rigid memorization of set combination patterns, giving players the freedom to be creative against opponents. The other new combat feature are new powered up moves called Ultra Combos. Like standard combos their purpose is to unleash maximum damage on an opponent, but unlike the combos of old, when performed correctly these long strings of punches, kicks and moves result in changes to the in-game camera angle and quick cinematics which illustrate the strength of your skills like never before. Taken together, these two new features herald Street Fighter IV as the new king of the fighter genre and a force to be reckoned with for years to come.

Rating : - Street Fighter 4 (PC)
Touted by game producer Yoshinori Ono as the ultimate homage to the Street Fighter series in the wake of its 20th anniversary, this game looks to make a huge impact on the fighter game genre and its many fans around the world. Not only does it promise brand new graphics and a new engine, it also features many game-play mechanics never before seen in the series or even in the history of the fighting video game. But even with the presence of such new features the game-play still is every bit as faithful to the Street Fighter series as any before it.

If you are looking for a version that plays every bit as well as the Arcade version and yet feels more powerful or prettier, the PC version is definitely the way to go. The game starts off with a splash screen with a PC settings button, which brings you to a plethora of options to tweak your Street Fighter 4 PC experience to the optimal level that you want, or would ever want. An option to add full screen anti aliasing to the impressive graphics and a selector that allows you to choose two brand new (and aptly named) rendering options called Posterization and Watercolor makes you feel like you are playing a very polished product. The graphics feel comical but for a game that features 3D graphics on a 2D plane, this one takes the cake in every way. Just picture the same graphics you have seen in the arcade version of the game and imagine it being five times better, that is what the PC version's visuals would be. You won't be disappointed with it, that's for sure. It's like the screen got candy coated with lush, colorful graphics.

The game-play modes are the same as the PS3 and Xbox360 versions, but it seems the most comprehensive of the lot. There is a single player mode where you get to play through a series of matches culminating in a battle with brand new boss character Seth (he does look suspiciously weird), a blue alien looking man with an obvious agenda and a wicked Shoryuken move that hits a lot. The character's storylines all converge into a big weaving epic that revolves around Seth's search for Ryu's powers. All things considered, the story does have engaging elements for a fighting game, more for the fans to savor for aesthetic and reasons of lore. The Challenge mode allows you to complete specific combos in every round, helping you get those tough to do combos into your blood. And the Time Attack is very much the same kind of Time Attack mode to expect in a fighting game, fighting scores and scores of CPU opponents within a certain timing and with limited health.

But all these modes are likely to only prepare you for the online play modes that you will more likely tear into once you get back home from a hard day at work. Everyone loves a little but of competitive Street Fighter and everyone knows how this game is practically tailor made for competitive play, but all aspiring fighting game professionals have to take into account the occasionally poor connection speeds, even bordering on unplayable. With that said, the online game-play is for the most part VERY playable and you will soon be busting out combos with online players. This is because of the huge number of really good players for the game, given its fighting game roots and fan-base ranging from the crazy fanatics to the casual spammers. The custom titles touting `merciless' or `genocider' above their names would suit them well here.

With the introduction of the series expansion Super Street Fighter 4, this version of vanilla SF4 is already feeling a little dated. But fear not. This small bundle of game-play goodness still holds up fantastic, especially given the lack of good quality fighting games on the PC. So bust down and get that Mad Catz tournament stick you have been savin' up for and start romping. You will be occupied for months.
