Capcom has finally released a new numbered entry in theStreet Fighterfranchise.
Here are our initial impressions from Capcoms latest fighter.
The single-player content currently included unfortunately doesnt sustain the game.
Bafflingly,SFVdoesnt include an arcade mode (although Capcom isreportedlylooking into adding one).
Instead it offers Character Stories mode, which is a poor substitute.
you’re free to play through all 16 characters stories in about an hour and a half.
Capcom promises acinematic story expansion, but it wont be available until June.
When the game is working, we canfinallyget to the point:Street Fighter Vplays fantastically.
Gameplay is fast and fluid, and characters control with pinpoint accuracy.
The core gameplay remains as strong as ever, but the big addition is the V-Skills system.
But there are still only 16 characters.SFIVlaunched with 25 characters when it came to consoles in 2009.
Six additional characters are coming via DLC through September.
Theres potential for a great game.
Its just not all there yet.
Capcom is attempting something new, presentingSFVas a service that will continually evolve via free downloadable updates.
