    A six is all I can give this side sscrolling button mashing fighting game. I know its an XBLA title, but still. This has abouot as much replay value to me as gauntlet.

    I love Street Fighter but DAMN is this game hard. It's way harder then the old console versions as this XBLA version is a direct port of the arcade game (designed to be difficult in order to eat more quarters). Even on the easiest difficulty setting I can't get passed about the 5th guy. The AI is just way too responsive.

    This game is such a disappointment. Graphics are good for a 1993 fighting game but the gameplay is anything but "hyper". The AI is super-cheap because it input reads, and the combo potential is very limited compared to Street Fighter IV. The sound isn't good either; although Guile's theme does make up for that. I respect this game's simplicity and the limited moves list of characters makesThis game is such a disappointment. Graphics are good for a 1993 fighting game but the gameplay is anything but "hyper". The AI is super-cheap because it input reads, and the combo potential is very limited compared to Street Fighter IV. The sound isn't good either; although Guile's theme does make up for that. I respect this game's simplicity and the limited moves list of characters makes the game less complex; especially given that there are no supers, ultras or EX moves. No meter, pure skill from round one. The screen is too small though, and there isn't an offline versus mode. My main issue with this game isn't the game mechanics, characters or moves. It's the pacing. Very slow, very boring and skill cap is way too low. Throws do too much damage and the animation lasts for way too long. The whole point of simplifying the game by removing meter and giving characters less moves and calling it "Hyper Fighting" is surely to make it fast-paced. But it's painfully slow, and this isn't aided by the overpowered throws and lack of ability to tech them. Avoid this game unless you really need a tried-and-tested 2D fighting game.… Expand

    The game is fun only if your playing with a few friends but against the cpu its more frustrating than fun,don't bother playing in very easy cause they can even beat you without breaking a sweat,the movie was a good addtion to the game and the reason why i'm giving it a 5,cause without the film i'd give it a lower score,That said only fun if you with a friend,if not the only fun withoutThe game is fun only if your playing with a few friends but against the cpu its more frustrating than fun,don't bother playing in very easy cause they can even beat you without breaking a sweat,the movie was a good addtion to the game and the reason why i'm giving it a 5,cause without the film i'd give it a lower score,That said only fun if you with a friend,if not the only fun without playing with a friend is to watch the movie.Having brutal and unfair AI makes this game bad no matter how good street fighter is.… Expand

    It's not worth getting for single-player. The AI is broken in a way that it will react and counter your moves by having the instant reaction times only an unthinking machine can have. [Issue #7, p.120]

    It's an old game, but it's still fun, and as long as you're not a tournament level player, you'll enjoy the game despite the slight hiccups during online play.

    Another very cool and nostalgic online treat is the Quarter Match mode that allows players to relive the days of lining up quarters waiting to take on the winner of any match in “I got next” style competition. The online lobby displays a coin/icon for each player along with their Gamertag and the order in which they are in line to play.
