Street Fighter EX 2
(LAST UPDATE: 5/27/08)

Profile

General: The sequel to SFEX adds a handful of new characters, some new faces, and thankfully some classics like Blanka and Sagat. The game also sports a few new features, such as the Excel (custom combo) system, as well as the Meteor Combo (basically one BIG ASS super move).

.

   SFEX2 is definitely an improvement over the first Street Fighter EX. The gameplay still feels a lot like the first game however, and can't really compete with other "real" 3D fighting games of the time. Because even though the game still appears to be 3D, the gameplay itself still is very much 2 dimensional. There are some cool super moves and combo possibilities like in the first game, and the gameplay can actually be fun for a while if you give it a chance.

Closing Comment: Now with a more balanced roster, the game has become a little more appealing to long time SF fans... But the game still feels kinda clunky. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
