The First 45 - Street Fighter IV

Initial Reactions to Fighting Street

by Raccoonacorn

This First 45 features Chris and Luke.

It has been a minute since a new installment has been added to the Street Fighter series. With SF IV, we get a nice cast of returning and new characters, a bunch of new special moves, and our first look at...2.5D? It's all very exciting stuff - but does it live up to its vaunted title?

At heart, The First 45 is a first impressions video. There's a catch, the impressions we offer are taken solely from the first 45 minutes that we spend playing a game. They say first impressions are the most important, and we feel it is the same with games. If you really aren't pulled into a game within the initial hour, chances are good you won't dig it after that.

There are no exceptions, this is exactly the beginning 45 minutes, from the time we boot up the game. What if the game pulls an MGS and starts with a 30 minute cutscene? That's too bad. We live in a fast-paced society, and we don't have time to waste. We just want to play games.

    Fighting games have never been my cup of tea, but if I found myself in the possession of a joystick, this might be the next game I buy.
