Hm, I'm not gonna say this game is bad, it has it's own unique style and touch. But is it really what we are waiting for
But then for the most annoying thing, the gameplay is plain simple, all characters have some same moves, and one character has not so much move. After all those years, is it what we need. Of course, for casual fan, they'll catch the game more easily. But everything in SF4's gameplay are feel like been there, done that. Still the timing to counter opponent's moves, still the combo to do the job done with some extra animation, and the ultra move is like a 2 edges blade which is good but like a trial and error act.
I think the graphic is good, nice job for keep the same feeling about the characters that we remember, but again it's like a remake of the things used to be great. Just used to be.
All and all, i think this game is a bit overrated. With all the other modern fighting game out there, SF4 is like something dated. I don't mean i like the new things more, but SF4 feel not great to me like everybody say.
