Und es gibt sie doch: Prügelspiele für den PC, die sich nicht als müder Konsolenabklatsch entpuppen, sondern spielerisch ihrem Vorbild in nichts nachstehen. Street Fighter 2 ist eines der wenigen PC-Actionspiele, bei denen Ihnen das heilige Gamepad von jedem zuschauenden Prügelfan sofort aus den Händen gerissen wird. Sollten Sie hingegen glücklicher Eigner zweier Gamepads sein und einen weichzuklopfenden Gegner in Reichweite haben, entfaltet SFA2 seine wahre Stärke. Wenn den Gegner Feuerbälle heimsuchen, ihm Kopfnüsse verpaßt werden und die Fäuste im Turbomodus fliegen, dann versinken Sie unversehens in einem Actionspektakel, das PC-Spieler mit Hang zum Groben bisher verzweifelt suchten. So simpel es anfangs aussehen mag - nach einer Weile wird nicht mehr bloß blind zugeschlagen, sondern dank der unzähligen Spezialattacken auch taktisch verdroschen.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it—but keep tweaking and re-releasing it until the horse is dead (and while you're at it, block that metaphor!). This latest port from the arcade hit serves up eighteen characters, a few brand new, most familiar and a handful known only to those who unlocked secrets in previous games. Twenty new backgrounds look great, a Custom Combo option lets you design your own special attacks, frame rates are high and the game is priced to move at $29.95. Yes, it's a bit dated, with its completely 2D layout and its silly energy-ball weapon fixation. But it's still scads of fun, perfect for blowing off some steam at the end of a hard day. It also remains one of the only hand-to-hand combat games that a novice can play well on a first try. Okay, so maybe it isn't Van Gogh. Maybe there are some "better" fighting games out there, strictly speaking. And maybe the PC will never really be the right platform for this kind of contest. But who cares? It's great fun anyway.
