SUMMARY:
Street Fighter 2 is best known as that game that brought fighting games into the mainstream. Without this, games like Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters and Soul Calibur would've been obscure and/or cult classics as opposed to mainstream successes (and failures, in the case of the N64 Mortal Kombat titles and Soul Calibur Legends for the Wii). It's because of the many fun features this game possesses that made gamers wanted more fighting games, and more fighting games came alright...

Street Fighter 2 itself has had many versions - Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Super Street Fighter 2, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and so on and so forth. This review will focus only on the original, though if you like the original, go check out the other versions.
