Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say ( 1 ):

STREET FIGHTER IV falls short of its console counterparts because of the lack of physical buttons. Fighting games rely on series of complex button sequences and combo attacks to captivate the players, but that becomes increasingly difficult when there is no real joystick or game pad. All of the controls are mapped on the screen, which is manageable but at times uncomfortable. Players who just want to punch and kick relentlessly will find the controls acceptable, but hardcore gamers may be better off relying on other versions of the game.
