Gameplay: 8

The gameplay aspect of this incarnation of Street Fighter remains true to all previous no need to fix something if it aint broke so the big part is the extras, with online play via wi-fi and the chance to play your friends even if they dont have the game the chances for fun are endless and streetpass features really add an extra bit of excitement to that normally boring walk round a crowded station with the chance to find a new challenger or figurine great stuff.

Graphics: 9

The Nintendo 3DS shows off its capabilities in Street Fighter IV with a dynamic view made specifically for 3D use! It really shines as a great launch title with graphics that rival any handheld version made previous.

Sound: 8

It’s difficult to put out a review on the sound of Street Fighter as it sounds exactly the same as even its Xbox 360 and PS3 console brothers, it’s all there.

Fun Factor: 8

Street Fighter is usually just that, it’s Street Fighter, but with all the added features including online play, streetpass, even the collectable figurines, Street Fighters’ 3D incarnation makes for superb mobile battles and delivers it all in crisp 3D that never lets down.
