So while my wife went off to shop for new shoes for her Christmas outfit, I (finally) played Street Fighter IV (360). BTW, my thoughts are this: surprisingly it really does retain a 2D style when yr playing the game. I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I figured. But y'know what? My hands cramp on the 360 controller pretty bad. I only played for about a half-hour or less and my hands were killing me. Pretty weird. Also, as good as I am at SFII, I found IV really really difficult. I had it set to NORMAL difficulty but often I'd get my opponent's lifeline down really low and then he'd do some sickass super combo on me and end it.
One con was that none of the sets had a 2nd controller. Which is too bad. Seemed like a perfect way to get people to socialize. This teen kid came up to me and wanted to play me, but we couldn't. Too bad. Could've been like the arcade 90's.
but has anyone seen these free "arcades" in their malls or anything? It was really random but a really good idea I thought.
