If your one of those people who refuse to buy 2-D games simply because they are 2-D, then do not buy this game. Go buy Tekken 3 or something like that. But if your actually looking for fighter because of its gameplay, then read on. Street Fighter Alpha 3 simply, at this point (Nov., 1999), has no other competition in the fighting world. With more modes than you can count, and almost every character in Street Fighter history, it has no equal. The controls are easy to learn so your little brother (who has never played) can pick it up and still beat the stuffing out of you. The good thing is though, that only someone who takes the time to learn the moves will be able to perform the game's harder moves. In order to learn some of the super combos a lot of practice is needed. Also included is a story mode. This mode basically allows you to unlock various other modes while building up your character. A true master will beat this mode entirely while a newcomer won't get that far. But don't let that turn off you newcomers. This game is not hard to learn, just don't expect to pick it up and beat the entire story mode. Practice, practice, practice. Overall, if you are looking for a challenge, then buy this game. If you are a Street Fighter fan buy this game. If you are tired of 3-D buy this game. If you have never played a fighter in your life but you think you want one, buy this game. In closing, BUY THIS GAME!

This DC version is way better than the aracade version!

This version of the game in not only better than the PSX version, it's also way better than the aracde version. More characters than any other version, Balrog's animation from SSF2T has all returned (not like the ..... aracde version). The ability to chose between 3 fighting styles X, V or A. Air juggles are more friendly and moves connect way better now.

Tons of modes of play! World Tour Mode awards you by giving upgrades to your character which you can later import in most other modes. Dramatic mode let's you team up 2 against 1 (If you think your a great fighter, challenge two of your friends to spare against you at the same time!)

As for people who don't like 2-D graphics. 2-D fighters are not the same as 3-D fighters, 2-D doesn't mean it's dated, ugly or bad. 2-D is diffrent, it brings you as close as to an anime cartoon and I personnaly find the characters in 2-D Capcom games tend to have 10 times more personnality than any stone cold polygonal 3-D characters.

This game is is the last of the Alpha series and it's the best overall fighter from Dreamcast

Street Fighter Alpha 3 is what the dreamcast needs at the moment, ands thats an excellent fighting game that is familiar with everone. All of your favourite characters are in the game ranging from Vega and Chunli to Deejay and Cammy. There are various modes of play and the two player option makes this game more appealing as you will have great fun repeatedly beating your friends

Certain games, as good as they may be, can get boring quite fast. We've seen this with Pocket Fighter and Street Fighter Alpha 2. But Street Fighter Alpha 3 is different. You can't get bored of this. First of all, over 30 characters! Classics like Ryu, Chun Li, Bison, Zangief, and even returning characters like Cammy, Vega, Blanka and Guile. Not only that, but great new characters: Karin Kanzuki, Sakura's arch rival. Cody, star of the original final fight. R. Mika, a bizarre wrestler. Plus Juni and Juli, mysterious workers for Bison, and rivals of Cammy. Secondly, every character has 3 fighting styles, with different styles and moves. And two adventure modes, the original arcade/story mode, and a world tour mode, where you can build a fighter increasing their strengths and abilities. Plus, tons of game modes like survival and dramatic battle. You can't get bored of this. If you don't like Capcom fighters, you may or may not like this. Unlike many others, this game is different, and stands out among fighting games.

Pretty SWEET!

So far, the best in the Alpha series! It has wonderful 2D graphics, fluid control, and has some of the best art design of any fighter ever! Best of all, there are more selectable characters in this than in any other Street Fighter EVER! A MUST for any 2D fighter fan!

If you're a fan of street fighter, you gotta buy Street Figher alpha 3. And if you're not a fan of Street Fighter, you still gotta buy street fighter Alpha 3. It's gotta be the best 2D fighter I'v ever played. Below, I will explain why.

-Many different modes of play including arcade, survival, and World Tour -Awesome arcade graphics -Over 30 selectable characters -Up to THREE players can battle at once

If you're looking for a 3D fighter with the best graphics, then you might want to go for Soul Calibur. But if you're looking for an awesome 2D fighter that requires skill and strategy, with endless options, you MUST buy this game. It will make a great addition to anybody's dreamcast library.

If you are lookig for a reasonably priced fighting game for the dreamcast then Street fighter alpha 3 is definately for you. With over 30 plus characters it may very well be one of the widest selections on the market. There are tons of modes to play and with world tour mode you can pick a fighter and build their strengths to your liking. The only downside is that some peoples moves require all three punch buttons to be used at the same time, and with the awkward shape of the dreamcast controller that might be quite a challenge in it's own right. But with a little bit of practice you will hardly notice it. This game is a must buy to street fighter fans

The Best Street Fighter Game

This is yet another legendary instalment to Capcom's greatest creation to the arcade world. It has everything a Street Fighter fan could want in a game. I say "fan" because only a "fan" can really enjoy this title. Many next generation, 3D fighter fans put these games down because of thier lack of "3D moves" and "100 hit combos".

Even though Street Fighter has been around for about a decade, not much has changed. Its a comfort to know that their are still some fighters out there that still incorporate "strategy".

Most next-generation fighters like Soul Calibur have stunning effects and great graphics. Just no strategy. Anyone could pick up the game and master it in two seconds. Just like Tekken, button mashing is a huge problem. The Steet Fighter series prevents "mashers" from succeding.

This is not Soul Calibur. This is not one of the "Vs. series" (Marvel Vs. Capcom 2). Those are great games non-the-less, but the gerne is not the same. You can not compare these games to "Old School Street Fighters".

Here you will get classic 2D legendary Street Fighter action with as much quality and strategy as you did ten years ago. New gamers will find this title boring. If you are not a Street fighter fan, or familiar with these types of games, leave this one for the experts. Go with Soul Calibur.......The graphics will take your mind off how easy it is to play.
