I rented Street Fighter 4 from gamefly and I don't like it at all. Though I'm a hardcore gamer, I wouldn't consider myself a hardcore fan of the series. For someone like me, looking for a more casual experience with the title, it doesn't offer much. First of all, it takes quite a while to get used to the old school arcade controls again, then once you do you still have to relearn the moves and the timing. The second thing is that even once you do aclimate yourself to the title, your regular 360 controller is too inaccurate to use anyway. I'm not buying an arcade stick just for a game I rented. The third thing is that the game thinks that all you want to do after turning the game on is jump online. I was wanting to play arcade against the computer and was bogged down by continual requests to play an online match. You can't turn down these requests until its already loaded the battle screen. I couldn't figure how to turn it off, so I just shut the game off an tried playing it again yesterday while LIVE was down. While the game might be everything that die hard fans of the series want, its nothing that I care for. I'm going to send it back to gamefly without even unlocking a single achievement.
