“Playing Is Believing!” says the description in the App Store. Believing that this game will work smoothly in iPhone, indeed, seems like an idea that doesn’t match with other game experiences. But so far, the user’s response to this game is quite favorable.

Wait to hear this: The game has a Multiplayer option using Bluetooth. HA!

Here are the features presented:

  • Fight as eight Street Fighter characters in seven different environments.
  • Full move sets including Unique Attacks, Special Moves, Focus Attacks, Super Combos and Ultra Combos.
  • For a true arcade experience, battle head-to-head on Bluetooth against friends and foes alike.
  • Robust “Dojo” boot camp transforms neophytes into Street Fighter masters in five in-depth lessons.
  • Customize the controls for your style of play. Move the buttons anywhere you want on the screen and set the level of transparency.
  • Unleash super moves with a tap of the “SP” button, or toggle it off from the “Options” menu if you want to enter the button combo manually.
  • Four levels of difficulty.
  • Cost? U$S9,99
