Xbox Live Arcade Review: Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix - Page 3

Part of: Xbox Live Arcade Games

The game's achievements range from the not really difficult to the painfully hard or incredibly lucky. Most of them are geared more towards being unlocked by gamers who put a lot of time into this, though quite a few also come from online multiplayer.

HD Remix is not perfect or without flaws, but it's perhaps the best game on Xbox Live Marketplace. There's enough of the original game here to satisfy old-school fans, but the learning curve has been smoothed out enough that newer gamers should be able to jump in to it, too. If you long for the days of feeding arcade machines quarters, or if you just want a good fighting game to keep you entertained until that copy of Street Fighter IV gets to your doorstep, this is the way to go.

Pros: Tweaked controls, great online multiplayer, beautifully updated soundtrack and graphics ... what's not to love for fans of Street Fighter?

Cons: In-game sounds are still old. Some multiplayer mode glitches. Backgrounds aren't always as nice in HD as they once were thanks to the graphical upgrade. Xbox 360 D-pad is still awful for fighting games. All mostly minor stuff in the end.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is rated T (Teen) by the ESRB for Mild Blood, Mild Suggestive Themes and Violence. This game can also be found on: PS3.
