    I can answer the more immediate question -- whether HD Remix holds up in online play -- with a resounding "Hell, yes." Backbone wisely co-opted fan-favorite peer-to-peer platform GGPO.net, which you can essentially think of as the netcode equivalent of the Google algorithm. This crazy Internet voodoo works well, and it makes for the most lag-free versus play this side of a brick-and-mortar arcade.

    What once was old is now new again and it still maintains that same classic gameplay that helped it to achieve its legendary status.

    If you have an HDTV and if you love Street Fighter and if you still have $15 to your name in this economy, you owe it to yourself to download SFII Turbo HD Remix, even if it means skipping a meal.

    HD Remix is a superb edition of a timeless game complete with nearly flawless online gameplay.

    This is absolutely the best Street Fighter seen in years, but just be ready for a beatdown and you'll be fine.

    These minor faults—jerky background characters and a lack of add-on extras for the sake of variety—may seem silly when we're talking about a gorgeous remake of one of the arcade's few luminaries. Still, the lack of renovation below the surface might make the celebration short-lived.

    That doesn't mean the online play is perfect. In fact, many people have reported matchmaking issues and assorted glitches. Matchmaking shouldn't be a problem when playing with friends via invites (on either PSN or XBL), but when playing random players it's a mixed bag.

Street Fighter II was an important game that got me hooked on both game music and the Street Fighter series in the first place.

    Besides UDON creating some excellent art in HD, David Sirlin really put his all into creating a much deeper, more balanced and more sophisticated playing experience by compressing the character tiers. Both Sirlin's vision and his execution of that vision created the foundation of excellence that the rest of us were able to build upon and accentuate.    … Expand

The newThis beautiful re-creation of SSF II is a great 2D fighting game for both newbies and die-hard fans. Visually, it is a stunner. The new colorful art style looks fantastic and the animation is fluid. I only wish the game contained more modes. As it stands, HD Remix is a real treat for those who enjoyed the original iteration. It captures the classic "Street Fighter II" feel perfectly. I would rate it with 9 out of 10.… Expand

    Beautiful visuals and impressive music are a real treat, but the offline play is ridiculously punishing, even on the standard difficultyBeautiful visuals and impressive music are a real treat, but the offline play is ridiculously punishing, even on the standard difficulty level, and the online competition is far too hardcore for this game to be enjoyable for even normally capable Street Fighter fans. Unless you have local friends you enjoy playing with, or you are used to fending off wave after wave of challengers in the arcade, this version may be more infuriating than fun. Casual players stay FAR away.… Expand
