O and by the way. The difficulty, has nothing to do with the crappy controls of the d-pad or analog stick. It's just terrible programming. P.S. I really hope it's the game, cause that would be super weak if the 360 couldn't handle controller inputs that SF2 has had from like the late 90's...ouch.

Just spent 800 points on this. I must say, it was fun for about two seconds when I adjusted the button layout to my liking and turned up the difficulty to max stars. Then, after playing a couple rounds, the nightmares of the crappy @$$ controls of the d-pad. Ok, no problem I thought, switching to the analog stick should be okay. Still crappy. I'm Bummed.

First of all its hard to play on the 360 d-Pad. Second the online play is laggy. Third WTF happened to quarter mode. 4 max players that is a joke. And most of the time you can't even see the match that's going on when you're waiting in line. I think they should have left the online out and charged 400 MP. >>>www.gamerzanonymous.com<<<

To the people complaining about difficulty when compared to their old cartridge version in the SNES...>WAKE THE HELL UP!! This is an ARCADE port not an SNES port. MORONS. Also, to the people complaining about the graphics...what did you expect from a fifteen year old retro game? Dead or Alive graphics? Idiots. These are RETRO games being released in the XBLA so they want to keep the retro feel to them and not change what made these games LEGENDARY and still fun to play fifteen years later. Doubt anybody will be playing 95% of games released on PS2 or 360 fifteen years from now. Lastly, there are definately some faults with this game. Getting dropped from lobbies after host switches..btw..why can't their be just 1 host instead of switching out host every time someone new wins is beyond me. The last gripe is with people disconnecting when they lost and there not being a penalty for it and the 360 controller is not great for this type of game...but for an XBLA retro release...I'm happy with it...will def look forward to some type of patch for multiplayer though.

Wow! I'm not sure why people are complaining about the difficulty. SF II was hard. SF II Championship was a little harder, but had better AI and some of the "turtling" strategies removed. SF II:HF was very hard. That's why this game is hard. It was intended as a faster and more difficult version of Championship Edition.

Hmmm... well, I am disappointed that the 360 controller doesn't work well with the game (depressingly, the analog stick works better than the d-pad), but otherwise, it's about what I expected. I'll try lowering the difficulty; barely beat Ryu on default difficulty. Haven't tried online yet, so we'll see how that goes later. As for people complaining about the graphics and such, please realize that it is a 15 year old game! This isn't gonna be some high-quality Capcom game made a year or two ago; this is meant to be the beginning of the beginning, and that's exactly what it is.

Seriously, played the trial. whats with all the atari games on the aracde, this is 2006 not the sixties. If your not going to make next gen games, don't call it a next gen console. also, this game has no blood, nothing put a cheesy batman KAPOW when you get hit? have we decided to join sissy nintendo's ranks of kiddy games xbox?

Is there any chance that MS will be doing any more of the SF2 series? I'd love to be able to have an online game of Alpha 2! :D

Either way, well pleased it's made it... now I just need my 360 back... lol

very true Mrak. i'm not a big online fan so the trials are always good enough for me to determine if a game is worth it.

but i can see how a big fan of online play might just buy it anyway. still though, usually a trial is more than enough to decide.

Well, I tried the demo last night and I have to say the game itself is Raw SF2 material, nowhere as nice as other games in the series, but that is to be expected. The main problem I think is the controller. The 360 controller is very good, but SF2 is one of those games where, if it is not just right the whole game suffers. So there you have it, the controller kills the game. Also, what the f is high def about this game?
