"Improved in everything and it's better than ever!"

A more improved version of Street Fighter Alpha as the game now, has more quality and challenge in it.

Graphics – 9
The graphics is much improved than the older cousin; more colours are included to make it bright and cheerful. With the detailed graphics and characters together with matching backgrounds, this game is simply cool and fun! But, the graphics are a bit glitchy on rare times. Well, it could be better in 3D, am I right?

Musics – 9
Background musics have improved with more suitable voices to match each character. Ryu with his almost original voice, Chun-Li, a bit fierce in hers and a whole lot more! Also, the sound effects are almost real!

Gameplay – 9
Featuring more than 10 characters to choose from, they are all from the Street Fighter series including a few hidden ones. Some characters are a bit new so, play with them! There are the same Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li and many other characters that you'll expect to appear in this game. There are many modes too that you can play, Arcade Mode, Versus Mode and a bunch more. Every character has almost their same moves except new characters. You can link every move to perform powerful combos to defeat enemies! Making combos are easy enough and you can watch happily to see the results! Thankfully enough, Capcom has increased opponent's challenge a bit to make this game a tough fight so that you need not to put this game away too quickly! The Versus Mode is even fun as the techniques that your friend will use will be different than the computer-controlled opponents.

Replayability – 8
Actually, fighting games don't really will bring you back unless they have more secrets and more modes in it. So, I guess Street Fighter Alpha 2 is in that category.

Overall – 9
Fun, improved in everything and it's better than ever! If you're a Street Fighter or fighting games fan, this game is really a must!
