SFAC features Hyper Street Fighter 2 from Japan (which is a compalation of all previous SF 2 games) as well as a new game. All versions of characters from every previous SF 2 game (SF 2, Turbo, Special Champion Edition, Super SF 2, and Super SF 2 Turbo) are playable. There is also "Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie" within the game. This game is being released on PS 2 and XBox (hopefully GC as well) and is a must-have for 2-D fighting game fans, esp. Street Fighter 2. I first played this game more than 10 yrs. ago, and I still love it! SFAC has gotten very good reviews from GameSpot and other sites.

15 years later and better then ever!

Anyone that remembers the Street Fighter II series in any way will most definitely want to get this game. A true homage and celebration of what was and is a classic of fighting games.

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, takes all of the previous Street Fighter II games (Street Fighter II: The Wolrd Warriors, Super Street Fighter II: The new Challengers, Hyper Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II: Championship Edition and Street Fighter II Turbo) and gives you the option of match up with any of the versions of the fighters against another version of said fighters. For example you can have the regular Street Fighter II Ken who's uppercuts didn't cause a firetrail vs. the Hyper Street Fighter II Ken who can do massive combos and fire upper cuts. It's a great little gimic to see how well an older version of a character can do against the later games characters. Not to mention it's a great way to get all the games in one action packed filled Street Fighter disk.

If that wasn't enough, this also includes Street Fighter 3: Third Strike. Which was the third edition of the long awaited sequal to the Street Fighter II series. It has a great grade system that grades each battle you have at the end, parry system and a cool soundtrack. Not to mention characters old and new with some fine graphics. After you get done fooling with old school in SF II, you will be ready to jump into the next level with this game. Never before released on any system besides the now default Dreamcast, so this game alone makes it more then worth it and the fact that you are getting SF II Anniversary edition even more so.

The only drawbacks I could find so far is that the game, even SF III, is a bit dated by some of today's standards. But I think the true appeal of the game is it's nostalgic edge as well as the fact that it's just fun to beat up either the computer or a friend by mastering your favorite character. All the characters have cool endings too making it even more worth while getting through the game. Bottom line, the price is more then worth it and the game is fun whether you were a fan 10 years ago or never played any of the SF games before. It is a purchase you won't be sorry to make.

SHO-RYU-KEN!!

I'm giving it 5 stars for the value of the low price for two excellent fighting games.
Street Fighter III 3rd Strike is arcade perfect, this game is a masterpiece, my favorite 2D fighter.
Hyper Street Fighter II is Super Street Fighter II Turbo with the ability to chose the diffrent versions of each SF2 incarnation (for example, you can select Ryu from any of the 5 SF2 version, so you can pick you favorite one).

2 great SF game, one cheap low price, it's worth it for any SF fan

Been waiting for this one!

I'm 27 and have been a Street Fighter Fan since I was 15 and started playing this in the Arcades. I played SFIII in an arcade during the summer of '98 and never found it again. I really loved that version and am glad to see that it's made it to a mainstream home-game platform. I believe it was also on some lame Atari system that failed the test of time.

Anyway...the info that's out on this game sounds GREAT and I can't wait to play it! I was saddended to hear that the bonus rounds have been removed. They were a nice treat and cool throw-back to Final Fight...from whence SFII draws many of it's cool characterictics. Speaking of which...when the hell is someone gonna make an honest and true home version of Final Fight for PS2?! What a classic that game was!!!

Wonderful Classics.

Street Fighter Anniversery Collection was a great game. I honestly do not know why everyone is complaining. I usually am not the best fighter in these kind of games(one of the worst players at Mortal Kombat but still love to play it) but this game, I found pretty easy. Sure, the graphics are pretty archaic, but I love the humbleness, simplicity, and addictiveness of these old arcade games. I have about 40 arcade games in my video game library and this is definately in the top 10. Play this game and you probably will not be dissappointed. If you do not like this game, you don't like fighting games(or if you want more violence that this game doesn't deliver, may I suggest a Mortal Kombat title. Deception was great get the premium pack) Overall, this was a great game that is a great intro to not only one of the most famous video game franchises, but, without a doubt, one of the best.

Street Fighter 3 alone is worth the money

As an earlier reviewer noted, this is not much of a collection, but it is an excellent game to have. Street Fighter 3 is probably the "classiest" Street Fighter series ever made - while the action is not as fast-paced as the Alpha/Marvel series of games, it is perfectly balanced and oozes "technique" from its pores.
SF3: Third Strike alone is worth cost of this collection, especially when you consider "the other game" included in the collection.
Hyper SF2 is an amalgamation of the earlier SF2 games (SF2, CE, Turbo, Super SF2, and Super SF2 Turbo) - you get to pick any of the 12 characters (+ Akuma), and you get to pick the exact version of the character, from any of the 5 games (assuming that the character belonged to the game to begin with, of course). So, for example, you could pick SF2 Blanka (from the original game) to fight against SSF2T Fei Long.
While the idea is not a bad one, and the controls work well (unlike the SF games in the Capcom Classics collection), this game is infamously difficult. In fact, unless you resort to cheesy moves (like Blanka's roll attacks), you'll find yourself losing even at the default difficulty level.

this is by far the best collection that capcom has put together. hyper street fighter 2 will appeal to those who know the differences in each version of street fighter 2. for an example, when zangief misses a screw pile driver, he becomes very vulnerable in super street fighter 2. champion edition doesn't have the missed animation, making him less vulnerable. being able to choose the right version of your favorite character is a big plus. as far as third strike goes, i've never played it in depth. but it looks like i will be. i can now understand why 3rd strike has been called the most overlooked version of the series. it seems to look and play much better than the alpha series. the bottomline is that if i could keep just one 2-D fighting game, this would be it.

PERFECT

This is the best game ever. No other game is as fun as this one. By taking SF2 - SSF2T and putting them together was a great idea. If you don't like it, you suck. Buy it today! It only costs 25 bucks here. Why spend that money on a game you know will suck? Just invest it in this game and you won't be disappointed. Straight out of Shadaloo.

My son loves this game. I ordered it at a very good price. It was recieved in a very timely manner after a lot of people told me that they could not find it anywhere.

Street Fighter III 3rd Strike.. 'nuff said

Street fighter has always been one of my most favorite fighting games.
And 3rd Strike is, in my opinion, the BEST Street Fighter that has ever been made. Also having the original Street Fighter 2 in the package is a plus. But after getting used to playing 3rd Strike, trying to play SF2 is kinda hard. Of course this is my humble opinion.
