The majority of self-respecting gamers who were big enough to grip an arcade stick back in 1991 spent more time with the likes of Ryu, Ken, Chun Li and Guile than they did with their own families.

I really am pleased with how Street Fighter IV has turned out, I could easily have come away disappointed but Capcom have produced a sequel that shines for the same reasons Street Fighter II shone all those years ago.

Having not played a street fighter game in many many years,l was convinced by my Xbox live friends to get this title for online madness. It's brutally smooth and the graphics are sharp, shame my game play isn't! Well recommended for beat em up fans!!
