Street Fighter IV
I picked up the new SF IV yesterday at Toys R Us. They have a deal to get SFIV for $60 (regular price) and then you can get one of the following games for $35 : CoD5, 007, FarCry2, Shawn White, or Afro Samurai. Not a bad deal if you wanted one of these already.
I only played for a little while but here are some quick thoughts:
Good:
+ Cool mix of 2D game play and 3D graphics
+ New characters!
+ New smoke-type moves (not sure what they call these). If you do say both medium punch + kick it will do a charging move with a cool smoke effect, at full charge it will knock down your opponent. I haven't figured out if there's anyway to combo w/charge because it takes a while to pull off. If your opponent was stunned I'm not sure why you just wouldn't do a regular combo instead.
+ Network play: While you're playing arcade mode if there's a match for network play it will automatically do a "NEW CHALLENGER" type thing and stop your computer match to play the real person. Just like someone was in the arcade and put a quarter in the machine to play against you. When done you can resume play back in arcade mode.
+ No ridiculous combos/annoying moves: At least none that I noticed. I haven't personally been able to pull off more than a 3-4 hit move with most players. Reminds me much of the original SFII.
Bad:
- Main screen intro song is terrible, they should have just left it alone with the basic SF theme music.
- In single player mode the cut scene/story line stuff is done in anime and it looks cheap and the dubbing is bad, obviously made for the Japanese market then dubbed into english.
- Network play is sometimes annoying if you're kicking butt then a new challenger arrives.
- Can't figure out how to make characters perform two types of throws, they take this out? Example: Throw appears to be both light punch & kick and when I do this with Ryu he only does a regular throw. Can't seem to do the rolling kick throw which puts your opponent on the opposite side of you. I used to do this because I play better facing left than right
I only put in about 30-45 minutes last night messing with it, but it seems cool. I'm an old school Street Fighter fan though to the point where I used to have the arcade machine in my first apartment.
If you're a SF fan depsite the annoying music and anime stuff I give it a
. Go buy it!

Might not be around tonight though because I'm headed up to Manch with some friends.
Hopefully we could still play against each other because I bought it for PS3 not Xbox360. Not sure how or if that can work out.
When I said killer I was talking about just good combos in general.

Double Dragon was a lot better than Street Fighter was.
I had lots of fun playing those games on line. Sveta looks at me like I am weird or something.
