Based on the Dreamcast version . . .

I've played the Dreamcast, PSX, and Arcade versions of this game, and it is THE 2-D fighting game by which all others should be compared. This game essentially has everything the Dreamcast version has, including 3 new characters from Capcom vs. SNK 2. Capcom did great with Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival for the GBA, and I trust this will not disappoint either.

Though I have yet to play the game, I have seen videos of it - the animation is smooth and the graphics are honestly comparable to the Dreamcast version. And the best part is . . . it's portable!!!

This is a must have for any Street Fighter fan, and quite frankly, for any Gameboy gamer!

Looks Cool

I have no doubt that this will be an awesome game. I've seen screenshots & read reviews about it in Game Pro & EGM. The graphics are about GBA'S best they look like the psx's graphics witch is good for a handheld. Gamepro said it was extremely fun and a must but for GBA owners and fighting junkies.

Good but could have been better

The GBA's SSF2:TR was practically identical to the arcade original (and that's not a bad thing). Still I wasn't expecting the handheld port of the advanced SFA3 to be nearly as faithful to the coin-op version. This game looks an awful lot like it did back in the arcades. Even the smooth character animations hold up. Aside from the pretty graphics, the gameplay is also topnotch. All the special moves (even though some are [difficult] to pull off) and combos are in there waiting to be pulled off, of course you might have some trouble executing those moves on the GBA's small directional pad. Moves that require circular motions are especially tough to pull off (even though I tried). Slightly busted control aside, this is an exceptional port. They even added some new characters that are exclusive to this version only. All in all, SFA3 is well worth your time.

Slashed and burned

First of all, any game with Cammy in it is worth having. But it's a real shame that all the great storylines from the original version were almost entirely cut out. I was hoping for more (not less!) after Capcom created new storylines for SSF2TR. And some of the best stages were nixed too. The graphics are good, and the gameplay is okay once you get used to the awkward button scheme. The 3 new characters make it kinda interesting, but that wasn't enough to make-up for all that was lost.

Street Fighter perfection; well almost

After delay, and delay, and delay, I really wasn't looking forward to the GBA conversion of Street Fighter Alpha 3 and I was dreading to see how it would play, but I was pleasently surprised. Nearly every aspect of it's arcade, PS1, and Dreamcast counterpart is here with a few minor tweaks, and fighting game fans who own a GBA will find something to love with this game. The characters are a bit smaller but are still fluidly animated and look surprisingly good on the small GBA screen while the soundbits are good as well. The game's biggest flaw is the control scheme (as expected) and it will take quite a bit of time for Street Fighter veterans to get used to the GBA's button layout. Special moves are a bit harder to pull off, while the super moves require even more patience to learn due to the control layout, but once they are learned they will get easier and easier to pull off. All in all, with the lineup of fighting games on the GBA, Street Fighter Alpha 3 only pales in comparison to Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo Revival, but Street Fighter fans who own a GBA should definitely give this a try.

a great fighter

Street Fighter Alpha 3 saw delay after delay. After awhile, I got tired of waiting and tried other games. When I saw this game at the store, I got it for myself as a Christmas present. This game is worth the wait. All the famous Street Fighter characters are here, with their signature moves, like hadoken and shoryuken. The characters are full of animation, surprising for such many characters. The game's only downside is that some combos like Akuma's Messatsu Gao Hado are very difficult to pull off. Other than that, this is a great fighting game. GBA owners with a taste for fighting should definitely try out Street Fighter Alpha 3.

The goods and bads of street fighter alpha 3.

Street Fighter Alpha is a very well rounded game with great graphics, good sound, and overall fun. There is only one minor dissapointment to the game, It is very very hard. I am at the easiest selection of the game and I still can't get very far. the special combo moves that you are supposed to do take too long because there are so many buttons you have to press in order to do the special trick your guy does. And you can never finish pressing all the buttons because your opponett gets to you before your done. You have to study the manual over and over just to remember on trick. But other than that minor problem it is a really enjoyable game and I would give it a five plus star rating if it didn't have that problem. And since it's very hard to understand and has a teen rating, I would not recomend it for people under the age of ten or eleven. I hope vthis review is very helpful to you!

horrible

Street Fighter Alpha 3 is a perfect addition to a GBA collection. If you can get past the painful setup for controls, you'll be fine. Plus Yun, Maki, and Eagle made it from Capcom vs. SNK 2 in the same forms!! This is perfectly the best fighter for any handheld. Don't be a baby just because you [can't master]the moves. Ain't my problem
