I'm a big fan of Street Fighter II. I grew up playing the arcade in the grocery store, spending quarter after quarter beating up Chun Li and then being pummeled by the terrifying Blanka. But that was nearly 2 decades ago, and here we are in 2009 with Street Fighter IV for the PC.Thumbs-up go to... *Traditional 2-D fighting, with 3-D models and environments *Classic characters plus a few new ones *Great button-mashing fun for the causal player *Focus & combo attacks for the advanced player to master *Online multiplayerThumbs-down go to... *Windows live account needed to save data *Poor English voice-acting (you can choose Japanese or English voices) *CPU controlled characters are annoying, using repetitive moves *Imbalanced A.I. I was beaten by the easiest difficulty and then immediately won a match against the hardest. Very Odd.Verdict...The majority of the game is solid. Fans of Street Fighter will like the feel of this one. The in-game graphics are sharp and colorful, and the character models are well fleshed out. Sure they have huge cartoon muscles but who wants to battle it out with a skinny, malnourished Ryu. The animation runs smooth and looks great for all the moves too. The game does includes some anime cut-scenes to tell part of the narrative. The anime doesn't bug me too much, but I would have preferred a more congruent style for the cut-scenes such as the wonderful in-game graphics. Still it's a good game, lots of unlockables, a training mode, and overall satisfying. 4/5 stars.

SF4 is a great game, for all the reasons noted by other reviewers. But watch out! You CANNOT SAVE unless you sign up for Microsoft Live. Game progress does not save to your computer. If you uninstall MS Live, then the game DOES NOT work. It's a ridiculous setup that leaves no choice; very Microsoft.

Simply said this product exceeded expectation. It is a bit challenging, and you should really get a cheap controller to use with it, but other than that this is a top notch product and it is obvious that there was a lot of time invested in it.
