Action and fighting games were quite common back in the day and if there’s one fighting game that stood out then and, even now, it’s this one. Street Fighter 2 is a fantastic and highly absorbing fighting game that needs absolutely no introduction. The game changed the way people looked at fighting games and offered one of the best fighting experiences in the genre. Anyone who’s into fighting games surely would have played this iconic game and, whether you’re in for a little nostalgia or are simply looking for a stellar fighting game, Street Fighter is still up there with some of the best.

Moving on towards the gameplay, Street Fighter 2 brought some of the most crisp and accurate fighting mechanics to the genre. The 1v1 challenge mode offers intense fighting experience where you’ll have to pick a character and, once that’s done, you’ll be up against a powerful rival. The fighting mechanics are great and combining kicks, fists, and special moves feels so satisfying as you try to bring your rival down. The game’s highlight is the massive roaster of characters that features icons like Ryu, Ken, and so many more and, alongside all this, the game also offers a story mode where you can pick one character and fight everyone else as you see the story unfold. There are different fighting arenas as well and every fighter their own arenas representing their culture.

The visuals of the game are also quite impressive. The character designs are great, the background artwork in arenas is stunning, the animations are smooth and, overall, the game was certainly ahead of time in terms of visuals.

Al in all, Street Fighter 2 is one of the most popular and iconic action games from the 90s and, it may not be up to the mark in some aspects, it still offers a thoroughly engaging experience to this day.
