While I have been a fan of fighting games by SNK for most of my gaming life, I simply cannot deny the influence the music/soundtrack from Street Fighter 2 had on the enthusiasts of fighting games all over the world. And to hear the beloved music for the classic characters and stages with the new remix was a blast from the past I didn't know I needed in my life and enjoyed quite thoroughly. 

The album begins with the track for 'Chun-Li' and immediately grabs attention with its strong melody and continues through its almost flawless first 8 tracks. Things do lose a bit of focus on the last 4 tracks for the boss characters, but by then you already feel like starting from the beginning or returning to your favourite character tune. 

The incorporation of the vocal samples adds yet another dimension to the experience and makes any fan of fighting games nostalgic, wanting to once again start playing the game that started it all. This really was a fun and nostalgic experience for me.

So, overall score - 9 out of 10.
