Street Fighter II Turbo

"One Of The Best Fighter Games For The SNES"

Street Fighter II Turbo is an updated version of Street Fighter II, a lot of the changes really improved upon the game, if you already have Street Fighter II, don't be afraid to buy Turbo, it won't cost much at all.Anyways,on with the review...

Graphics-8-The graphics are very excellent.The backgrounds are lively and full of detail in them, such a case would be Balrog's stage.The character graphics themselves are just as good, each character stands out perfectly, each character has a unique look, except for Ken and Ryu of course.

Sound Effects-9-This was one of the parts of the game that Capcom fixed up some more, along with some of the sounds that are already in the original Street Fighter II, Capcom decided to add some new ones like people cheering after a fight in Zangief's,Balrog's,Vega's,or Ken's stage.They also added elephant noises in Dhalism's stage after a fighter has landed a victory.

Music-9-The music for each stage is very good, the only music I don't like is Zangief's music (too quiet,don't you think?), other than that, I find no problems what so ever with any of the music tracks, they are just great.

Game Play-10-This has to be one of the best fighting games ever made, each character has their own move sets, again, except for Ken and Ryu.But this game can keep you entertained for quite a while, you can do the normal one-player mode where you choose the person you want to play as, than you fight 12,uh..fighters.Each character also has their own ending, you have to beat it on it's default difficulty though, and it is HARD to beat it like that.If you don't want to fight the computer, and you have a friend over, you can also do the 2-player mode.2-Player mode lets you fight against each other to see who is the better player.You can pump up the speed too, as a matter of fact, you can make it REALLY fast, using a code though.

Control-10-I found no problems with any of the way the controls are, you can easily execute each move with relative ease.If you don't like the way the controls are, than you can enter the configuration and change it to the way that you would prefer it to be.

Story-5-(1 Player Mode)You fight to become the World Champion,bleh.

Replay Value-10-This game is always so much fun to play, whether it is one, or two players.

Overall-Excellent fight game.I recommend that you get it, especially considering how cheaply that you can buy it for.

Final Score-8.7=9
9/10
