Summary

Good port of the arcade version.

The Good

Well, of course, the gameplay! It's what gets people hooked on! The characters move perfectly. Although the sprites aren't as impressive as the arcade, the characters and backgrounds still retain their same look. What's more impressive is that this is the first Street Fighter port to have features like Group battle and Elimination battle! These add more spice to it all and the neatest part is that because of the very fast speed of the Genesis, turbo mode play is twice as fast as the Turbo port for SNES!

The Bad

What was kinda upsetting was the music. It seems to have been reworked and sounds different than the SNES. The sprites weren't as exact as the arcade or SNES. The voices also sound kinda blocky and it's hard to tell what Ryu is really trying say when he is throwing fireballs.

The Bottom Line

Basically a not too bad, not too good port of SFII C.E. I also say this always -- that this is an example of why Street Fighter II wasn't ported to the Genesis in the first place.
