This game has all of the classic characters from Super Street Fighter 2 turbo plus all of the characters from Street Fighter Alpha 2 and then more. This game introduces 3 different fighting styles, which make the game an endless challenge to master. A new feature allows you to build your characters strength, then use them in different modes. If you ever want to buy a Street Fighter game, or any fighting game, this should be at the top of your list.

BUY THIS GAME!

Lets face it. Polygons bite. The cartoon-like graphics on this game are the best I have ever seen on the Playstation! The gameplay is smooth, small load times, many different types of fighting. Nice!

Best Street Fighter for PSX

If one were stuck with having to make a desert island selection of PSX games (on the unlikely event you were to be stuck on a desert island with only your PSX, a big tv, and all the electricity you'd need), it would be hard not to grab SFA3 as I can think of no other game (even including non-fighting games) that has earned so many hours of replay. Capcom really cleaned up the fighting engine used in alpha2, giving the game a much smoother feel, while also managing to incorporate air combos without making the game feel spastic (it is rather thrilling for instance to be able to knock someone in the air with guile and then immediately hit them again with his blade kick.) Throws have been made more difficult, but since the command is specific, throws are much more precise. Beyond the improved game engine you can now select from three different chracter types called -isms (no, you arn't chosing your character's political affiliation!) Anyone remember slash and bust mode from Samurai Shodown? The three different modes customize your character, Xism being similiar to play in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo (quite a mouthful), with one big super, no air blocking, but takes and gives out more damage. Aism is standard Alpha fighting mode with multiple super moves, air blocking, etc. while V-ism gives your character a shadow which repeats the attacks of your character (also appearing in SFA2). These are not the only differences between modes though, as most characters actually have one or two different moves in the various modes. Were this not enough, SFA3 has incorporated every character in the SF series so now you can play Honda, Blanka and T-Hawk (should you have the desire to do so.) On top of this, there are several options which will add hours of game play to this already fantastic game. First is the world tournament mode where you can build your character into an unstoppable fighter. The ability to customize characters in this mode and bring them into versus games or even normal arcade games is very exciting. The ability, for instance to make a 32 level Shin Akuma that can do his Raging Demon move every 10 seconds, and if the move connects, your opponent takes 60% damage...well it is a great way to work out your aggressions. Also there is the fun of making characters that can use the best of all the -isms (Aism character that can do V-ism custom combos). You can even give your character the chain-combo option like SFA1 and Dark Stalkers. Other options are even crazier. My favorite is the ability to team up with another player against the computer. On the PSX you must play ryu and ken or two of the same characters. Survival mode is also quite enjoyable if you have made a 32 level character and you want to fight as many characters as quickly as you can. Infinite survival model lets you take your skill as far as it will go! This game is not for everyone but if you enjoy fighting games (even if you have not enjoyed the other street fighter games) you should give alpha 3 a chance. If you are a street fighter fan, then you must purchase this game.

Good, but not great

This game is the follow up to a great and impressive series (with the exception of Street fight III, that sucked). I have generally loved the new extensions, but this? This is sad. Ken and Ryu feel so weak and all the moves look like ballet. A punch should be a punch. What this gamed lacked was some teeth! This was not a sequel in my mind. It added nothing new. It just took the past, stuck it all together and wrecked it in the process. It may be fun for new timers because Street Figher is still a great game. But it was a major flop in the arcades, with not even a tenth of the money made which Alpha 2 did. Sorry, very disapointing

Street fighter alpha 3 is an ok game. Its not as good as the older versions. If you want a great fighting game get tekken3 ehgeriz, or marvel vs street fighter. I still reccomed this game though renting or buying. A problem is each fighter in the game does not have a lot of moves.

Most Well Rounded Street Fighter Yet

Taking a step away from the numerous (and quite silly) "VS" fighting games that Capcom has cranked out in the last few years, SFA3 is the best Street Fighter to date. With a plethora of characters to choose from, georgous fighting environments, tons of options, and plenty of hidden stuff, this game has almost an infinite amount of replay value. The characters are very well rounded. A lot of detail was applied to the fighting system and each character's unique fighting style. With the lack of chain-combos, large combos take practice to execute, which warms up to experienced vetrans of the series rather than the button-mashing novices. However, a training mode helps new-comers learn the ropes of the game fairly efficiently. The end cinemas, while not CG masterpieces, are way more detailed and entertaining than most aging fighting games. The anime-style characters give the game a more cartoony feel, but makes the game look much better than the previous installments, and is only surpassed by Street Fighter 3. All of this is wrapped into a neat little package of fighting game bliss. With a deep fighting engine, beautiful graphics, and mounds of hidden goodies, this game will keep anyone busy well past the dawn, and is a must have for anyone's videogame collection.

IT'S ONE HELL OF A GAME!!

Street fighter alpha 3 might be the best street fighter out there to date. It has awesome game modes cool levels and best of all its the never ending fun of a 2d fighter. The graphics are what you would expect froma 3d fighter a little choppy and an occasional glitch or two or maybe an occasional mergence of fighters but all in all its one of my favorite game out there. Ihave been an avis street fighter fan all the way back to the SNES version of street fighter 2 turbo! i would encourage anybody to get street fighter alpha 3 because its fun and hey its down to 20 bucks now!
