Street Fighter II

"CAPCOM at it's BEST ever!!!"

For two years, they have reigned supreme. Twelve of the most gifted fighters from across the world have battled each other in the World Warrior Tournament. But now the time has come for them to step aside- Now is the time of the new challengers! This game is an awesome Street Fighter game with great- graphics, gameplay, sound, and replayability. Including new modes including Group Battle, Tournament Battle, and Time Challenge. Everything in this game was well detailed and Capcom did an excellent job doing so.

GAMEPLAY
The gameplay is excellent pretty much. Sometimes it may get frustrating but as you learn to master the skills it will get easier. You can change the game speed at the beginning screen if you want some fast paced action. The punches and kicks respond great on the SNES controller and the character movement is responsive. Bottom-line with a few non-major problems the gameplay is awesome.

SOUND/MUSIC
The sounds and music are well detailed and sound great on the old SNES. Every character makes there own sounds when getting hit or just throwing a punch. The sound is very good sounding and the music was well chosen. All the sounds each character makes are well detailed just down to anything.

GRAPHICS/LEVEL DESIGN
The graphics are spectacular looking on the SNES although some may not look all that great but most are. Each character has their own level and they are designed great. The backgrounds are filled with people and other stuff. The people are moving in the background cheering you on or you might see a person on a bicycle riding past you. Sometimes you can even break boxes and other stuff in the background. The game even has bonus levels where you can bash cars or do other stuff this is a nice little extra being able to beat up an import car to smithereens.

REPLAYABILITY
This game is fun to play by your self or with friends. There are plenty of modes to keep you coming back for more. The game may get boring after getting beat so many times but if you can win you'll want to play again and again.

BUY OR RENT
This game is probably one of the best in the Street Fighter series but if you want to find out you will probably want to rent this one first.
