SF4

Street Fighter 4, the long awaited new installment of the Street Fighter series of videogames, has finally been released. I must say that i am really impressed with the way it plays. Street Fighter, for those who are unaware, is a fighting game where two players each select one character and proceed to beat the tar out of each other. It is a venture into violence at its most primal and base nature, and it is fantastic. This latest venture into the art of fighting in the streets (and sometimes in odder locations) is a wonderfully balanced and varied game, where there are different characters to suit every style of play. The game is paced slower then most other fighting games, where each match is more of a tactical back and forth then a straight up brawl between combatants. Being able to utelize each characters moves effectively and quickly is the key to victory, and experience plays a large part in each victory.
