It's a perfect blend of easy, moderate and hard achievements - every gamer can get some of these, but it takes real effort to get them all. Great job, Capcom!

Another very cool and nostalgic online treat is the Quarter Match mode that allows players to relive the days of lining up quarters waiting to take on the winner of any match in “I got next” style competition. The online lobby displays a coin/icon for each player along with their Gamertag and the order in which they are in line to play.

Capcom's done a sweet job of porting a coin-op legend, and Hyper Fighting is officially one of our favorite Live Arcade games. [Oct. 2006, p.83]

Rock hard, but still retains the crown of the greatest fighting game ever. [Issue #16, p.78]

If you've a nostalgic bone in your body that needs breaking, this is the game.

The controls are iffy at best. The d-pad on the Xbox 360 controller isn’t suited for 2d gaming. It’s definitely harder to perform Ryu’s fireballs, Sagat’s leaping uppercut, and Guile’s sonic boom with the d-pad that is offered.

It's not worth getting for single-player. The AI is broken in a way that it will react and counter your moves by having the instant reaction times only an unthinking machine can have. [Issue #7, p.120]

A near-perfect port of the arcade game many of us were born into. The controls and diffculty will take a little getting used to, but the experience is unrivaled in both its nostalgia and its excellence as a port.

Not only has the game been retooled with the Live audience in mind, but it's still a challenging, rewarding way to pound out your frustrations after a brutal day in the real world.

A perfect addition to the Xbox Live Arcade library. The game faithfully recreates one of the all-time greats while adding new features to make it fit in with the new console.
