The first game I downloaded via the PlayStation network on my new PS3 was Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. The name, is kind of a silly throwback to the fact that for the longest time the refused to make a Street Fighter 3 (back during the classic video game console wars).
Just as fun as the old Street Fighter II, this one also adds the whole HD aspect – which in translation makes things look “real pretty”. The game hasn’t changed up too much, you start it – find a friend and start beating the snot out of each other. I do like the fact that they put the moves into the pause window. Well, let me take that back, I like it as long as you are not one of those people who insist on looking ever 3 seconds.
You can also play online, which for me means I can get beat by people who have been playing this non-stop since it came out, fairly quickly. (VegasFan10543344, I am coming for you!) The full cast of charecters you know and love are in the game too, even Akuma. To play as Akuma in arcade mode, select Guile and press UP. To play as Akuma in Training/Versus modes, select E. Honda and press UP.
This game is still one of the best fighting games you can find. Now it just has a new look, which is ready for the HD era of entertainment.
