If you haven't played Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo before, then this would be the best version to get probably. I've played every iteration of SF2 since the first one hit the SNES in the early 90s, and HD Remix is by far the best for your buck. A huge roster of characters, online play, gorgeous HD sprites and a nicely remixed soundtrack make this a blast to play. The version that came out on the ps2 a few years ago had a lot of issues, but with HD Remix, everything's close to perfect.

I'll get the good out of the way first. The character sprites here all look incredible. What Capcom did was take the original frames of animation from the original Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and just put new sprites over them. So while you don't get the smooth animation of Third Strike or a Guilty Gear game, players of the original game will feel right at home, not having to worry much about changing the timing of their old favorite attacks. And each character got a lot of attention as far as their new designs go. Plain and simple, the game's beautiful. I especially appreciate the redone backgrounds too. It makes me wish they'd have done the same for Marvel vs Capcom 2. Every character from the original Turbo is here, and of course Akuma's available as well. The designers also tried to fix a lot of balance issues with the game by changing some moves and their priority, or adding in some new ones altogether. Examples being: Ryu now has a fake fireball, Chun-Li's Spinning Bird Kick now goes upward in an arc, T. Hawk's cheap infinite throw is apparently no longer here (though I've seen something awfully close in a few videos), Akuma's air fireballs don't travel forward as much, and some of the stronger characters like Balrog, Dhalsim and Dee Jay have been toned down a bit. There's a training mode where you can turn on the hit boxes, showing you where you can take damage and where you can damage the opponent. This is a huge help in learning why you're taking hits when it looks like an attack didn't even touch your character, and where you can get them back. And for those who don't care for the new changes, the original Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo is on here as well- you select if you want to play the HD Remix or original at the title screen.

Unfortunately, the other main reason to get this game- online play, wasn't 100% fun, in my case at least. Again, this is just my experience, and I'm of a small percentage I guess, but the couple of times I've went online to play against other people, there's been some pretty bad lag. It was so bad that I gave up after just 5 different matches. I can admit when I lose fair and square, but when there are half-second delays in animation, or the animation just skips ahead altogether, it's not my fault that I'm losing. Some experts out there can take advantage of the lag, but they're few and far between. There'd be times when I'd be dominating a match as Chun-Li against Blanka, and then suddenly he practically teleports right in front of her and gets on a bite. I don't think this was my internet connection sometimes, because one of the times this happened, my connection was running VERY fast (ie- I downloaded the Bayonetta demo in under 5 minutes). But again, that's just me, and if you don't experience it, the score can be a full 5 stars. And hey, you can always play against another person on the same system.

Overall, this is sure to please any old school fighting game fan, or someone just looking to relive the simpler days of fighting games. While I still wish the special attacks weren't so powerful here, HD Remix is a worthy purchase, and there's usually someone to play against online. Here's hoping that they give Third Strike the same treatment this console generation!

A must have for Street Fighter fan!
Great experience especially present in FULL HD 1080p format!
Though not much extra feature, but it preserve all the Original flavor and difficulty.
Online battle is available too.
Graphics and Sound is great!
And must pair this game with a Hori Fight stick!

I did not buy this game as planned, as I was looking for a game in a genre that I don't have with my wide collection of games. Most of these games are single-player, but I do remember having 'Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting for the SNES'. I truly enjoyed playing the game over and over by myself and with a friend once in a while. Now I can relive the experience with a few more modifications of the game with 16:9 screen, HD gameplay, with a couple of extra characters.

Watch out when you try out or even competitively play through broadband. There are some great players out there, but I have not encountered anyone of novice experience.

This game is simply worth the download and I recommend you purchase it.

I'm in my early twenties, but I still didn't play this much as a kid. I played every now and then on my aunt's SNES, and thought Blanka was pretty sweet.
Fast forward to today, and I suck more than any other player. I suppose this game might not appeal to those younger who are playing it for the first time ever; S/SSIV might be better suited to their needs.
The moves can be a bit confusing to master (remember, I'm a newbie), but still prove satisfying when you get a hit. There aren't any cheap shots, and the new sprites are a big welcome over the original 16-bit ones.

It's a great fighter that has lived strong over the years, but for the newbies like me, don't say I didn't warn you.

2-d fighters are my fav. Most balanced fighter I've played. No overpowered supers, ultras, commonly used 3+ hit combos, etc to make the game unfair or cheap. I've been a vet of this since playing the original Street Fighter 1 (I don't mean the original Street Fighter 2) in the arcades.

Hi!, he comprado este juego no atraves de Amazon.com sino directamente de la PlayStation Network y es justo como se describe en la presentacion.. para PURISTAS.

Les explico, el juego es tal cual como es descrito, luce increiblemente bien en Full HD, cuenta con una amplia gama de personajes (Ryu, Ken, E. Honda, Chun-Li, Blanka, Zangief, Guile, Dhalsim, Vega, Sagat, Barlog, Sagat, M. Bison, T. Hawk, Cammy, Fei Long, Dee Jay, Akuma), aunque es irrelevante porque como todo juego de la Saga de SF te volveras bueno con 2 o 3 de ellos y el resto es como si no existiera.

La apariencia del juego es solo superada por su jugabilidad, y es que el sistema de juego sigue intacto como el original que ya debutara hace mas de 20 anos. Necesita muchas horas y practicas para dominarle, pero una vez hecho es imposible no engancharse.

En cuanto a los modos de juego y opciones a destacar estan:
*Modo de juego uno contra otro (2 jugadores / offline u online)
*Training Mode (sin desafios, solo para acostumbrarte a la forma de juego)
*Modo Torneo de 8 participantes
*Seguimiento de estadísticas (Junto con tablas de ranking mundiales)
*Chat de voz


Pero hasta ahi, luego de aprender a jugarlo, no hay mas desafio, no hay mas incentivo, el unico incentivo es ganar juegos online (y digo unico porque a no todos le gusta jugar online, asi que no se complace a todo el mundo).

Por eso este juego no es para todos, puede llegar a ser entretenido, los amantes de la Saga lo adoraran (de hecho se puede elegir la musica original, por si no te gustan los nuevos arreglos hechos para esta juego), pero no como para complacer a todos los tipos de jugadores y esto es una falla ya que el juego cuesta 14.99$ (a mi parecer costoso), asi que antes de comprarlos les sugiero que lo prueben con alguin que si lo tenga, porque si no, pueden terminar lamentandolo

Careful - before you hit the 'buy' button, make sure what this is: the HD in the title is misleading. The graphics are VERY basic, it does not look any better than it did what, 20 years ago? The only difference is the resolution of the textures.

Animations, backgrounds are very poorly animated, probably two frames for every move.

I'd say this game is worth $4, not more.
