Opening Snide Remarks: I am not a Street Fighter maniac, but I really dig 
this game.  Read further to find out why.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: SF Alpha 2 is an excellent game.  This is Street 
Fighter action at it's best.  This game pretty much plays like it's SF 
predecessors, but it somehow feels different.  The gameplay is super-tight, 
but if you weren't a big SF fan before, you probably won't be after this game
either.  I really like the different boss for each character and the endings
are very cool.  
Liked: Street Fighter excellence.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: SFA2 has the best 2-D graphics ever. The sprites are 
very detailed and everything seems to move.  This game shows that you don't
have to have polygons to have pretty graphics.
Liked: Awesome sprite graphics.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: SFA2 has some very cool music.  It sounds a lot like
the other Street Fighter music, though.  The sound fx are awesome.  They're
not in Surround Sound, but they feature a lot of stereo panning. 
Liked: Awesome stereo sound fx.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: SFA2 has very easy and responsive controls.  The 
special moves seem like a chore to pull off, though.  The game design is 
great.  Great job, Capcom.
Liked: Easy controls.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Improve: Nothing.

RIYL: War Gods(just kidding), other Street Fighter games, Virtua Fighter 
series.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Street Fighter Alpha 2 is one of the greatest fighting games of
all time.  If you have a Saturn, then you should own this game.  If you don't
have one, this game alone might coerce you into buying one.  I'm really 
looking forward to Capcom's 2-D Dreamcast games.
