Street Fighter IV

[A Black Falcon]

It's good... but is it as good as SFIII: Third Strike?

I don't know... of course, I did only play a couple matches of SFIV while I've played a lot more of SFIII, so it's hard to say... and the copy didn't have any of the hidden characters unlocked, sadly. Very nice graphics though... SFIII looks spectacular too though, with some of the best animation ever in a 2d game. So yeah, SFIV does look good, even if it seems less 'new' than Alpha or III, with how all of the SFII characters (and all but two of the SSFII characters... sorry T. Hawk or Dee Jay fans, so far at least) return, instead of largely new rosters like both of the previous sequel/prequel SF series. SFII is by far the most popular game in the series, so making it more like that makes sense. I'd need to play it a lot more to say what I really though, though...

I did get a chance to use the gamepad with it one round, though. It's so, so much better than the standard 360 pad for games like this! I wouldn't say it's as good as a Genesis 6-button or Saturn pad, but compared to the 360 pad... amazing improvement. Too bad they're evidently so expensive.

Well obviously the general public doesn't share your disinterest, because the game sold nearly 850,000 copies between the PS3 and 360 in February. Awesome, it definitely deserves it! :)

A lot of kids have told me it's pretty good, but I don't always get 360 games when they first come out since they are so expensive. I'll probably check it out someday.

It's a great game, you should definitely try it.
