Coupla thoughts after playing for 10 minutes: Having played the previous SF, i'd say this one's a noble effort, cuz it's kinda hard replaying the original SF with its obscenely dated graphics.. What I see in this game can be summed up in one word: ~smooth~
I like how "fight sequences" play almost like GBA style FMVs or something, really animated, not blockily messed up, again ~smooth~
The story seems *slightly* more fleshed out than the original, although the card story insert sequence is kinda.. "whu?"
I also like how the hero "Max" can talk now, but he just mainly agrees/disagrees, nothing active or something
One thing i don't like about it is that i can't quite "see" the *rectangular* boxes in front/back of characters very well, i don't remember having such problems before..
Other than that, GREAT-0H!
