    The game expands one of the best fighting games ever, with a new balance and four new characters. That said, it remains a DLV dedicated to the biggest fans of the series.

    I'd even go as far to say that most hardcore players will find this expansion a little lacking with only 4 new characters and a rebalancing structure that hinders more than it helps.

    Honestly, the level of enjoyment you'll get out of the game will largely depend on which character you play. If the character you play is now one of the stronger fighters on the roster, then you'll most likely have a blast steamrolling the competition.

    If you're still playing SSF4 online, AE is a no-brainer, and the de facto new standard for the game, for better or for worse. If you're looking for any kind of single player content or a chance to get your foot in the door though, you can safely pass on this update.

    It's a small update that you could live without despite its $15 digital price tag. As a value proposition at $40, it's a laugh unless you missed out SSF4, which is easily one of the brightest and sharpest fighting games in the recent past.

This version has me really enjoying streetOverall I enjoy this game, I had casually played street fighter 3 and 2 turbo when I was younger. This version has me really enjoying street fighter more competitively. Online play is mediocre due to lag and online tactics that can leave you feeling frustrated. When the connection is good be prepared, as online play brings the killers out, people who have their vortex setups and online shenanigans. In short great art style, can be enjoyed casually with friends, or competitively, just be prepared when playing online. Full Review »
