Street Fighter IV PC Game Review

Currently I am playing the latest fighting game, Street Fighter IV. It is the latest Street Fighter game in the market.

If you are a Street Fighter fans, these screenshots may look very familiar to you. Yeah, it is what a Street Fighter game is all about, the familiar characters and also the background. However, differ from the previous versions, the models and backgrounds are rendered in 3D, but the gameplay remains the traditional left-right 2D control.

After trying it, I found that it was a nice game to play especially if you are a Street Fighter game's fan. The control remains the same, but it was the 3D rendered environment and the great graphic that will give you a fresh and great experience!
