Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike is possibly the most technical in the series and the best Street Fighter around.
Characters
Well you have mostly new characters like Sean,Hugo and Urien but the popular Ryu,Ken,Chun Li and Akuma are there and considered some of the best in the bussiness in this game.
Modes
Well you have the Arcade Mode which is basically Single Player and you get to fight through certain characters and make it all the way to Gill who is a cheap last boss. You also have Vault where you unlock certain concept art and videos,Character Trials as well which start of easy but can quickly get tough. Plus there's multiplayer and Training mode if you want to learn some of the new moves.
Gameplay
Well the gameplay is very nice it moves along at a very good rate and becomes very addictive and fun. You have a Super Bar and when its full you can unleash a very powerful combo. A new feature that was added in this game was the parry attack and while it is easy to do mastering the thing is gonna take sometime like parrying attacks in the air and very long combos. Overall it is basically easy to do but hard to master but much better in my opinion than the Focus Attack.
Online Play
Well you can Save Replays and upload them and you can also play Tournaments as well as Player Matches as well and Ranked Matches. Now to be honest the Matchmaking isn't good by any means it could take ages to find a match. Also what I have seen in some matches the game sort of like jumps a bit when it lags. I mean it quickly manages to lag for a few seconds and then catch up but it is a problem and Capcom need to fix it.
Presentation
I have always perferred the 2D sprites in Street Fighter games and also it looks beautiful it doesn't seem to have aged badly at all unlike some games.
Lastability
A game you can play with friends and online it could last you a while.
Overall Opinion
For a downloadable game they don't ome much better than this but whilist the normal gameplay feels fine the online is iffy and far from perfect and needs work. Overall though an excellent game that will take time to master those parry attacks but the rewards are great. It has alot to do and I recommend anyone who loves Street Fighter or fighting games to get this.
Overall Score 9.4
