o hi thar.
9.3? Expected more. I think that this is not the first review. Shouldn't  someone start a SF IV reviews thread?

Maybe not, but it was the first one online that I've seen at least =). 9.3 is pretty high, I am expecting a 5 starer from the GB crew though.

You beat me to it ;) Cool review....don't you start bickering about how high the score should be, boy. May I remind you that games like Left 4 Dead got a 9.0 (OMG, it is so LOW), and Braid got a 8.8 on IGN.  Scores are NOT everything. Still, glad to see this game is good nonetheless.

the australian print magazine "hyper" gave it 9/10

"Maybe not, but it was the first one online that I've seen at least =). 9.3 is pretty high, I am expecting a 5 starer from the GB crew though."

IGN UK = 9.5/10

A bit low, but still a great mark regardless.

Wait a second...

IGN rated a highly promoted game a 9.X???? How unlike them :|  It's like they never give out 9.Xs for big name games!

"A bit low, but still a great mark regardless."

Remarks like this will always baffle me. How a 9.3 can be considered low makes absolutely no sense to me."

Great score, Im torn on weather to buy this on the ps3 or 360. I like the ps3 dpad but I prefer the live community. More people seem to be online and for longer after the game dies down, but the 360 dpad sucks and I dont want to spend another 40.00 on a controller just to play sf4.

You do realize 9.3 is pretty damn close to 10, right?"

9.3 is an awsome score im so excited for this game!

anything over a 9 is a must play in my book.

I was actually shocked to see it so high. Awesome.

It's kind of sad that people still put so much weight in this arbitrarily assigned number called a "review score."  Read the freakin reviews already.

I personally think that Street Fighter was going to be sick nasty from the get go.  But now the reviews are starting to come out, I'm glad to see the only thing holding this game back from a perfect ten is some really cheesy/sometimes funny english voice acting and some bad cutscenes, neither of which SF has ever really been good at in the first place. 

"A bit low, but still a great mark regardless."

It's Ryan Clements: he pretty much gives everything a 9. A 9.3 is pretty good from him. 

No matter what, 9,3 is a brilliant score... I can't wait to play this game!

Judging by all of the reviews I've read (not just the IGN one) our faith in Street Fighter IV was well placed. It seems to getting universal acclaim. I don't think I've seem anything lower than 90% so far. No small feat that. :)
