Summary

Super Blackjack Battle 2 Turbo Edition is a fun game, It plays well and looks nice but after a few games you kind of see everything on offer. The only draw to come back would be the online or to use it as a time waster. So much went into making it feel and look like Streetfighter that it missed a few bits that keep it different. I mean a custom game mode and tutorial would of been nice as well as a difficulty setting so new players could break it in slowly. As it stands then its a decent enough distraction but it wont be a game you play alot.
