The great combo system of EX has been largely upheld with one change - now by using up some of your combo gauge, you can launch into a mode where all of your attacks are kicked into a frenzy, making simple punches and kicks a now lethal barrage of combo devastation. And don't worry - the SF mainstays are still here and better then ever. Kairi and Sakura are out, and newbies Volcano Rosso, Nanase, Sharon, and Area are in. The gameplay still retains the classic Street Fighter action, and keeps the wide selection of fighters that was such a highlight of the original EX, making only a few changes in characters. The kicks and punches continue to sound great and you can still "Ha-do-ken" and "Sonic Boom" your heart out. The music sounds extremely repetitive, and almost has a "muzak" quality to it at some times to my ear, which is definitely not too much of an inspiration for kicking ass! Luckily the sound effects were nicely preserved from the 2-D titles into EX, and that's still the case here.

#Street fighter ex2 plus arcade ost series#
I loved the music of the 2-D street fighters, but for some reason the tunes in the EX series just don't cut it for me. Unfortunately, the music hasn't really improved too much from the original, and that's one area where EX2 should have definitely made big changes too. Whereas in the original the animation didn't quite capture the fluidity of the 2-D Street Fighter titles, with some frames of animation missing, EX2 adapts almost all the animation from the 2-D titles into 3-D, greatly enhancing the animation. The animation has been punched up (sorry!) as well. They are a marked improvement on the somewhat plain looking backgrounds in the original. The backgrounds have also been improved, with greater detail and much more eye-catching appeal. Whereas in the first EX game, where the characters were somewhat blocky looking, this sequel smoothes things out a bit, taking away many of the rough edges. One example of this sequel keeping things fresh is the remarkable improvement in the graphics. Street Fighter EX2 strikes a nice balance, keeping many of the best aspects of the original Street Fighter EX2, while making some welcome changes, mixing things up a bit, and making it feel fresh. Fans of the original usually want a sequel to have a lot of familiar aspects of the original, but if you keep things too similar, then fans will ask "Why bother?" You'll end up with just a rehashed product that just won't have the same impact of the original. Whenever you make a sequel to anything, whether it's a book, movie, or video game, there's always the dilemma of change. This sequel to the original EX, improves on things that didn't even need fixing, and makes it even better. I've been a sucker for SF ever since it came out, and even though my love for the series has certainly dwindled in the last few years, the move to 3D has rekindled some of that flame. I make no apologies for liking this game as much as I do. Street Fighter EX 2 Plus Review By: John Doe
