It is difficult to decide the best fighting game ever, but one that stands out above all is Tekken. Tekken series gets better with each installment and the seventh has just been release to arcades in Japan. While we wait for Tekken to come stateside we will need to get our fighting fix from Street Fighter.
Street Fighter 4 has been released on both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. It has been getting great reviews from all of the video game publications as well as the reviews online. But what is even more important than that for the success of a game like this, the fans of the original games love this installment as much as any of the others.
Fans of the series are falling in love with the characters; all of the original characters are represented here as well as some new characters. All your favorites are back with all of the signature moves that made the original games so great. The series really hit its stride when the second game was released into the arcades in the early nineties. The game was so popular; it spawned many sequels and even a couple of not so great live action movies. The movies really were bad if you are a fan of movies, but if you were a fan of the games, it was neat to see all of your favorite characters on the screen.
With this installment of the game, the graphics were updated to reflect the power of the new machines, but kept looking old-school. The developers and artists did a real nice job of making the older characters look new again, but retain their classic appeal. The fighting feels new, but somehow familiar and anyone who has played the other games will be able to pick this one right up and jump right into the action.
Another great feature, besides playing with a friend next to you on the couch, you can hook up to the Internet and play against challengers from all around the world. It is a great way to test your skills and it is easy to find a competitor that will challenge you, but is on your same level as far as skills. I hate losing a hundred times in a row, but it is also no fun to win a hundred times in a row.
