The horrible and inconsiderate control system ruins what would otherwise have been an amazing SF experience..
Street fighter anthology contains Alpha, Alpha 2, Alpha gold, Alpha 3 and Super Gem Fighter MiniMix
Being a street fighter fan, I was really excited when my brother brought the SF alpha anthology back home. I just couldn't wait to do some button mashing. It just so happens that SFII Turbo is among my all time favorite video games. I've spent this huge portion of my childhood playing video games, and a lot of that time was spent playing street fighter.
Unfortunately (to my utter disappointment), the ps2 version has this huge problem with the control system; as a result of which pulling off combo moves is a chore, and its extremely hard to pull of the special moves. 15 minutes after I started playing, my hands and a few of fingers began to hurt. I haven't played the game ever since.
The best game in the collection is super gem fighters simply because that's the only game that actually allows you to pull of some moves without breaking your fingers
Graphics: If you've loved street fighter's sprites and its background art, then you'll probably love the animation here as well. Compared to SF II, alpha takes the animation to a whole new level and there's nothing to disappoint on this level.
Sound: just great…
Game play: messed up (read above)
Replay value: like I'm gonna play a broke game
Bottom line: The anthology only succeeds at one thing: disappointment
