I likes.
Fighter graphics have improved, yet can't say the same thing about stages and background. They look and feel dull.
Vader certainly makes his presence felt. Nice addition to the line up.
I don't care for single player modes, I just use them to make gold to unlock stuff. Didn't enjoy it in other games, not enjoying it here. If I wanted to watch CGI, I would have bought MGS4.
Multiplayer is another story. With these graphics and fighters the game has no equal. Especially if you master Vader. I usually play offline with my friends. They love it, I love it, end of story.
If you liked it before, you will like it again. You can always try it before you buy it. Recommended, highly.
In love with this game
This game has been so much fun and I just got it. I love the graphics and the movement. They did make the game more sexual like dead or alive but its still worth playing; especially online. There arent many new things from the old games but it doesnt matter. I guess they felt, why fix it if it isnt broken. People want more more more and that is their main complaint. I'm happy with what I have in this game and will be playing it for quite some time.
Hm. I don't suppose it's too bad..
Well, all in all it took me about 22 hours to get 30 honors and unlock every bonus character, which, as far as I know, equates to unlocking everything there is to unlock.. So it's a very short game..
And as for the character creation, there are some new items, but a vast majority is re-used from SC3, and I think there are actually fewer items total. And as other reviews say, it usually comes down to a choice between useful stats or bearable appearance. I love the new skin tone coloring options, I can get my ideal shades. Also, the option to sculpt body type is a definate bonus.
The graphics are wonderful, as good as you'd expect from this series. I've never been an expert of the game's physics engine, so I can't tell you how the intricasies compare, but in my opinion it's a little easier for me to be successful in this game. In SC3, I occasionally struggled on Easy, but in 4 I can do respectable (sometimes ^_^;) against even Edge Master.
I miss the extra modes, like Battle Theatre and Weapon Demonstrations..
It's got improvements in graphical quality, while a decrease in content leads me to write this game off, overall, as eye candy with low replay value.
