Product Description

Rather than simply including conversions of the five entries in the series: Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II Champion Edition, Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting, Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo, the game lets you mix and match characters from the different versions for a plethora of different match-ups and replayability.

Two Completely Different Universes in One Collection July 27, 2008
*Street Fighter II*
Definitely set the trend for 2D Fighting games. Street fighter II remains a great and favorite to many who have spent countless quarters trying to unlock Akuma and who grew up playing videogames in the 90s.
-*-*-Graphics-*-*-
All in its 16-bit glory. The game retains each and every characters style of animation and character portraits spanning across the decade of Street Fighter II releases. Each characters stage retains its basic original elements and details that made them unique.
-*-*-Sound-*-*-
The character's BGMs are EXACTLY what you remember from their glory days. The BGM of each character's stage has the same impact as it did yesteryear. Still melodic and very character oriented and themed; ALWAYS a joy and treat to listen to...even while not playing the game.
The characters retain their original voice overs. They sound quite well even now. The smacks, slams and punches retain their sounds over the decade of Street Fighter II rereleases based on what version character you pick.
-*-*-Gameplay-*-*-
The gameplay from the original releases and re-releases of Street Fighter II are still intact. The six-button configuration is very much intact. Each character retains their standard and special moves based on what version of that character you pick. (ex: The Hyper Version of Street Fighter II had access to a projectile by pressing QCF(Quarter circle Forward)+Punch. In Super Street Fighter II Turbo, she had access to Kikoken by Holding Back on the D-pad for 2 Seconds and then Pressing Forward+Punch).
The game has a 30-60 minute learning curve. Its quite easy to play, but even more fun to master.
Pros:
+Every Version of every Street Fighter II character is Included
+Retains original Gameplay and Music from each respective version
+Great Nostalgia Factor
Cons:
-New Gamers Spoiled by new fighting games MAY not get into it as quickly
*Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike*
Definitely a change of pace. Even more so since the first release of Street Fighter III only featured two of Street Fighter II's returning warriors Ryu and Ken. As the series issued re-releases, nice features were added, but some Street Fighter II fans were still left unsatisfied by the new roster. Regardless, Street Fighter III is a great game in its own rights. Street Fighter reinvented itself with new gameplay elements, features, and varied fighting components that made it a feat to master the game.
-*-*-Graphics-*-*-
The graphics have gone through a huge change. The characters now animate with such liquid fluidity this time around. Characters like Elena almost appear as if they are moving toward and away from the screen. Each and every character run on so many frames it actually appears as if some are breathing this time around. Asymmetry is shown within the graphical engine; Gill's assistant has a pony-tail on one side of her head that actually stays on the side it belongs on even when she turns to face the opposite direction. If a character is hit with a short kick or jab punch and KO'd, they stagger, emit a low grunt or moan, and fall to the ground instead of flying across the screen.
A lot of detail can be seen in a lot of the stages as well. Objects on the ground can be seen blowing in the wind. Subtle lighting effects and elements in the backgrounds really make the backgrounds stand out.
The graphics are really pushed to the limit here.
-*-*-Sound-*-*-
The theme of Street Fighter III seems to revolve a little more around hip-hop hence the opening theme. The character BGMs are quite nice--Alex and Ken's BGM is themed around Jazz, Yun and Yang's Theme sounds a little like James Bond meets Asia, and Akuma's theme is ancient Japan crossed with a war and/or ninjas. The music is great.
The voice overs of the characters are great. The voice acting is perfect and done well. The voices match the impact of a hit.
-*-*-Gameplay-*-*-
The game is quite easy to pick up. It uses the six button configuration Street Fighter II did; however, it is not recommended that you play this game as if it were Street Fighter II. The game contains new elements that separate it from its predecessor.
Unlike the Alpha series (unless you change the game's options) your characters do not have access to all of their super arts, instead, they have the choice of picking one out of how many super arts they have to use during the match.
The game includes a parry system, a counter attack that requires you to press forward at the very same frame an opponent would hit your character. Timing is critical and it definitely takes a lot of practice to master the technique.
There is an ex move system that requires the press of two punch or kick buttons to use. it is a powered of version of a normal attack that uses a little bit of your character's super meter.
Pros:
+Finally, a REAL sequel to Street Fighter II
+New Gameplay Features that change the pace of the game
+New Graphics Engine
+New Characters
Cons:
-Only Four Street Fighter II characters made a return
-Gill resembles and plays like an SNK boss
-There isn't much clarification as to what a lot of these fighters are trying to accomplish in this tournament

 this game is good June 30, 2008
This game is reality good, super graphics, very good game speed, everything a classic for those followers of the family capcom, I personally one of my favorite games
Shortcomings aside, still a great collection June 21, 2008
The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection collects Hyper Street Fighter II and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, of which the often underrated Street Fighter III is worth the price of admission here alone. The game features great animation and a great fighting roster (of which Ryu, Ken, Chun Li, and Akuma are the only familiar characters), as well as a wonderfully fluid and accessable fighting system. Hyper Street Fighter II is an amalgamation of every form of Street Fighter II that ever saw the light of day, from Hyper Fighting to Super Street Fighter II: Turbo. This mish-mash has it's hits and misses, but still delivers the goods regardless. The PG-13 rated version of Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie is included as a bonus feature, which is a little disappointing. Considering Street Fighter's rich history in video games, one may think that there would be a good deal of supplemental material to be had. But there isn't, and that's a shame. Other than that though, this is still a great collection, and for every 2-D fighting and/or Street Fighter fan, this collection is an essential pick-up.
Most Awsome Game Eva! May 31, 2008
The most intensive manga arcadefighting the world has ever seen, see how hugo backbrake and crush between 12 different characters, and Gill..
The game was seent perfectly and it was good they sold it here, havent found any other places that sell these old games.. just buy some sticks and fight amongst your friends.. its hella ofa fun ;)

This version of Street Fighter sucks. SFA3 is a much better game. This game has little depth. You are better of with the SF collection for the PS1
