5.0 out of 5 stars Best on PC July 14, 2011

By Will

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

If you have this game on console, and enjoy it, you owe it to yourself to get it on PC. IF your pc can handle it(its not high specs at all) I have an older ATI 4850 card and it is just beautiful on 1080P resolution with or without AA enabled. Not to mention loads of awesome user made custom screens/costumes and the best online play(least lag) of any platform. PC is THE #1 Steet Fighter experience and...oh yea the game is hella fun too! Its a K.O.

5.0 out of 5 stars AE just got better August 1, 2011

SSFIVAE PC is excellent for those who game on their laptop on the go. I personally play on Xbox 360, but when I'm out, I game on my pc, and in fact I like it more on my pc. The graphics appear richer, and the video comes out cleaner. Plus the added support for the pc version makes it excellent. If you're a huge street fighter fan, and have a decently good laptop, get this!

5.0 out of 5 stars AE 2012, easily the most balanced of all the Street Fighter 4 games. August 10, 2012

By herald

SSF4:AE2012 Edition is the most balanced of all the games in the SF4 series. At Evo 2012, 15 of the top 16 players used unique characters (only Cammy appeared twice). Don't think that it's too late to get into this game; AE 2012 will be staying a tournament game staple, as this game is still in its stages of growth. As for the PC version of SSF4:AE 2012, it is a good enough port, with natural controller support, meaning you can plug in an Xbox 360 controller or fight stick at anytime and the game will automatically recognize it. The game also does a good job at automatically setting the graphical settings, but I wish there was a way to change options or volume controls in the middle of matches, but that isn't really a big deal. It has an editable config.ini file, and even has a nice amount of unofficial community mods like skins and music swaps. Unfortunately, since a large majority of the playerbase lies on the consoles, not that many people play on the PC version, and if this is your first fighting game, you're going to have a tough time with the matchmaking as it will match you up with players who have been playing the game for a while (if you've been playing AE before, then the skill game isn't much of a problem). Luckily, you can find many people to help you learn the game on places like Shoryuken. The game, however, uses Games for Windows Live, which isn't really a problem...once you get it working that is. The game comes with an outdated version of GFWLM or something and it's an INCREDIBLE pain to get the game itself setup since it REQUIRES GWFL. But once you get past that inconvenient hurdle, you'll easily find yourself enjoying the company of SSF4:AE 2012.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game for the PC (and fight stick)! February 28, 2012

Don't have a PS3? Don't own an XBOX 360? Only have a PC? No problem! This game runs very well on older processors (at least a Core 2 Duo!), it works well on my quad core 2 duo PC. You should find a fight stick though, it is no fun using an analog controller. The game is smooth and you can adjust the graphics to suit your system's performance. You constantly unlock items, and it is fun to play for 5 minutes or hours at a time (if you can play that long). Highly recommended to pair this up with a fight stick!

5.0 out of 5 stars A huge step over the normal version February 22, 2012

By Louis M. Pedraja Vazquez

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I was hesitant at first on whether to buy this game as I didn't think it was worth buying just for the new characters alone. I was wrong, not only are the new characters tremendously fun to use you also get a plethora of new modes. My favorite being the endless mode where you can create a room up to 8 people I believe and have opponents sit on the lobby waiting for their turn to come up to fight, while you might think it'd be boring to wait, the cool thing is that you're spectating the fight live and seeing your opponent's skill and strategy so you can get ready once your turn comes up. Also, I want to make clear that the online experience is just another step from the normal SF4 version. The only way this game lags is if you fight people from the other side of the world and with bad connections, I write bad connections because I have apparently fought with people from, Japan, Croatia, UK, etc. Most of those fights have been stutter free. OF course there is a bit of delay but not enough for me to complain. I was also worried that there wouldn't be many people playing as I sometimes had trouble on the vanilla SF4 finding opponents with good connections but this game is packed with opponents and since the online play is so good I have the broader option of fighting people from South America, the Pacific, Europe etc. I live in Puerto Rico so to get stutter free matches from people living so far away is a big plus for me. One thing I have to mention is that the game crashes or can loose connection enough times for you to notice it. While it barely happens there were few instances when I got mad as hell. The game still use Games For Windows Live which sucks and as I mentioned before it can make your game crash just for clicking the home button too quickly (at least in my case)....

So yeah, this game is worth it. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Blown Away By Graphics & Action! December 8, 2011

By M

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

I have to say this game looks simply beautiful. The overall graphic design, characters, backgrounds, music is all amazing. The Capcom team should be especially proud of the first cutscence of the game. Normally I don't pay any attention to the opening video but this was a piece of art. I'm just blown away by the level of detail in this game. I'm running with a Radeon HD6870 card and it just shines.

I haven't played this series for a while so for me it's a great way to catch up. It's nice to see some of the old moves still haven't changed. For me, I like the fact that you can pick-up games online. There is also a training mode to help you work on all the moves and combos. After playing for a few hours, I think this game is as addictive as it was years ago (maybe more so).

Installing on Win 7 - 64 bit did take quite a bit of work. I can't fault Capcom for this as I think it's more of a Windows issue. On install, I received several corrupt file errors. I'm really not sure how it installed - it's a new PC so perhaps my Windows version needed to get brought up-to-date. (just something to look out for).

If you're a fan of the series or just need to relive some of your favorite characters, I highly recommend it.
