Madi Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) Game: Street Fighter Anniversary CollectionSystem: Xbox , PS2Emulators: SF2 can be played on : Mame , FBA , Kawaks , Zinc.Edit: SF3 can be emulated on chankast *I dont use it since my pc is crappy and i forgot * Note: This review was fueled by Special K cereal bars and Coffee and my dev xbox The whole she-bang in a paragraph: SFA brings back memories from the good ol days of kickin your best friends ass. All the pokin , fireballs , specials , and uppercuts are back.This collection includes 2 of the greatest SF games ever : Street Fighter 2 :(Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II Championship Edition, Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting, Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo) and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, all for a price you can afford,$30.Its also a great way for people who lived under a rock who didnt play SF to finally join in. *OOOOOOOH YEAH!!!!!* In this collection many extras are added in such as a gallery mode , The SF2 anime movie , and online gameplay mode.Online gameplay mode is avaliable via Xbox Live and is not included in the ps2 version. The games:Once the game has booted you are presented with this lovely screen , which lets you choose which SF you want to play. Street Fighter 2 allows you to play all the characters from all the SF2'S incluiding Akuma ( not shown...) In the player selcection screen you can choose which variant of SF2 to play , it is also possible to mix and match the different games. For example : SF2 Turbo Ryu can fight Champion Ed. Ken The gameplay has almost been untouched , excluding some graphics updates. The controls are the same , but i suggest getting a aracade stick because the xbox controller sucks for fighting games. *HA! TAKE THAT AXL !* Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike offers a handful of features. The Grade Judge System , Parry , Super art moves ( you pick your special move) , and the Leap attack. SF3 is more stylish and flashy , and a bit more complicated than the other any other SF , its beautiful to watch and play. Chracters include :Urien, Necro, Ibuki, Sean, Alex, Yang, Twelve, Makoto, Q, Remy, Yun, Hugo, Elena , Dudley, Oro , Gill , Ken, Ryu, Akuma, and Chun-Li. Despite some character changes , there is still some of the old SF 2 goodness in SF3. Alex is like Zangief , Remy is like Guile , Duley is like Balrog , just to name a few resembelences. Summary: I personally enjoyed this collection and i thought it was a great way to relive the old on the new systems. It goes to show , a game doesnt have to be 3d to be good. Controls: 8.0* (10)** ( * using an xbox controller) (**Using an arcade stick) Gameplay: 9.2 Good ol classics can really never get boring Graphics: 9.0 Perfect emulation of the games with some good eye candySound: 9.0 Original soundtracks are good but SF3's music seems to be missing something... maybe its the rap? Overall Score: 8.8 /9.3 Grade: A Dont kill me....... Edited July 2, 2005 by GameCop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucandrake Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I was going to buy it, but then a friend baught it for PS2 and the game kicked arse. But the X-box controler does suck for fighting games and right now my parents aint in any postition of buying me anything. So I guess I'll have to wait till after summer.

BlackKnight Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Nice review. That makes me want to go out and buy it... BUT It's not coming out in PAL territories . Hyper SF2 is ok... but there's no way for me to get a PAL PS2 version of Third Strike... That sort of neglect really upsets me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 It's not coming out in PAL territories . Hyper SF2 is ok... but there's no way for me to get a PAL PS2 version of Third Strike...Nope I disagree. The Anniversary Collection has been available here for some time now. But I think it's without 3rd Strike... need to look into it, since I haven't bought it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackKnight Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Yeh that's very unfortunate. DCs are hard to come by.. and I've looked for one until the time Chankast came out. It's just a pain that Chankast is the only way for me to play this... I'v had bad experiences chipping ps2s around here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
