Balrog,Vega,Sagat, and M. Bison join the fighting roaster...Beware of some back to back endless Pyscho Crushers.
Overview
More of an update than a sequel to Street Fighter 2 "The World Warrior," SF2 CE adds an update of 4 more selectable characters, graphical updates, and fine tune the game a little. Capcom turned a already good game, into a great great game. Since SF2 CE is more of an update than a new game, the following is a review of the changes. For a more in depth coverage please see the review of Street Fighter 2 "The World Warrior."
Graphics 8.5/10
SF2 CE features the same great graphics as the original with a few changes. In addition to the new boss characters on the character select screen, potrait changes were made to give the fighters a more aggressive look.
Gameplay/Controls 9/10
Balrog,Vega,Sagat, M.Bison! Do I really need to say more?, Capcom answered the cries of gamers and all four bosses are now playable. Each new character features their own special moves and attacks, just like the original 8 warriors. In addition several new changes were made to the gameplay. Same character vs mode!, Faster speed!, a special ending (finish the game without losing a match), and the revisions to a few "Ticks" or cheap moves.
The controls remain fairly the same, with a few changes in moves to the original lineup, and new set of commands for the 4 new playable bosses.
Sound/Music 10/10
All the great sounds and music from the original are in SF2 CE, why change a good formula? A few extra tracks were added for the boss and special endings
Replay Value 10/10
If you have or havn't played the original, there is still plenty here to add endless hours of fun. A redesigned and better AI breaths new life into single player mode. New moves and new characters to learn and master....New moves and new characters to compete against!
Overall 10/10
I've said it before, but i'll say it again, Capcom took their blockbuster fighter, changed a few things to the formula, and made it even better.
