Game Room: October Roundup

When Capcom released Street Fighter X Tekken to the Xbox and PS3 in March, it was a true love or hate affair. Now, seven months later, the game has made it to the Vita. The game's robust training mode is helpful, but the control scheme remains as complicated as the console version. And despite a wide array of available characters there's definitely some balance issues between the Street Fighter and Tekken lots. The graphics in SFXT are not quite on par with what we've seen from other Vita titles: backgrounds have been converted down to 2D, and there's less detail to textures overall. If you're looking for a portable fighter this might do the trick, but it won't likely appeal to hardcore fighting fans.

Score: 5.5 out of 10
