Street Fighter 2 - Turbo: Hyper Fighting (1992) - Video Game Review

I am going to say it... I am pleased with the fact that Capcom eventually gave up the whole, (Street Fighter 2) sub-genre of the classic competitive fighting series, but I will admit that I do rather miss it a fair amount as well!

I mean don't get me wrong, I am very much aware of the fact that all good things do have to end, and that there is only so many different ways you can make the same thing new and exciting... But for me, I grew up with this series, and this was the first stylized competitive fighting video game series that I had ever played!

And you know what? The first version of this game was awesome (please click here, for more information on the first game,) but the next game set the tone in my opinion for a fun, fast paced video game series that would entertain both boys and girls for years!

That game being: Street Fighter 2 - Turbo: Hyper Fighting (1992)!

A classic!

Yes... It is true that there is not a hell of a lot of difference between this game, and it's awesome predecessor, but the truth is, is if you are like me, then you are not a fan of the some times over the top slow nature of this video games immediate predecessor... And the fact that the game was sped up helped hugely!

Can you guess which one of these characters had a cameo in, 'Wreck-It Ralph'?
Another cool thing about this game is that there are some new awesome moves that did make it even more fun!

Finally... For me, the best part of what made this game great is that with all the changes that were made to this game, that it still maintained the same basic style and characters that made this series so awesome!

So, if you haven't tried it... Then do so, I do recommend it, if you get a chance!
