Street Fighter Alpha 3 (GBA)
|
|
|
| Description:
Street Fighter Alpha 3 is another high-class port of a classic franchise, and as soon as you see the graphics and animation in this game, you'll wonder why other developers can't do more with their GBA games. SFA3 has plenty of special moves, combos, blocks and counters, as well as 33 characters, 12 fighting modes, three new fighters, three fighting styles for each player and a head-to-head game mode via the Game Boy Advance link cable (two copies of the game are required).

Superb conversion of a superb game...

Having been a large fan on the Street Fighter series for a while now, I got the game for my GBA and I must say, it's a brilliant conversion - I've played the PS1 version and this is practically identical, the game loses nothing in gameplay and the graphics and animation are much better than I expected for a handheld.
There were control issues (I.E. using a 4-button console for a 6-button game, as pointed out before) but they don't hamper the game too much, the combos and special moves are fluid and easy to pull off. The game IS hard (every version of the game is :D) but is a good challenge, and one I recommend fully.
Top marks :) |

not too bad for a GBA game !

The good points : the graphism is excellent for that type of machine, the sound very clear and good quality, quick access to the main menu when turning on the GBA, large range of fighters selection, the option menu offers wide possibilities to play the game. The bad points : Awkward maniability sometimes(difficulty to achieve special attacks according to some fighters), the music is too basic for a GBA of this power (even worse than the old Supernes), only four buttons for a game that requires six !!! Could be awkward and frustrating to use every moves of the fighter at some stage as you have to press two buttons at the same time to make a different kick or punch. Overall, the game remains very good and quite hard to play even though you begin with medium difficulty ; the fourth first fighters will be quite easy to beat but then you ll feel the difference of level straight away!!! At least, you ve got fewer chances to finish up the game too quick unless you start with the easiest difficulty level. |

First and foremost, this is a perfect port of the original version. The gameplay is proper street fighter, and the choice of characters and combos is top notch, but the GBA lets it down. this is a good game, but trying to play it with only 4 buttons is hard. The original had 6 buttons, for 3 different kicks and punches. now you have to press two buttons at once for the missing button, which is awkward. And my other gripe is the difficulty. Either i'm doing something very wrong, which I doubt, as i have lots of other fighting games, and I have completed these, but this game is very hard. On the default difficulty I could not complete the arcade mode, it is that hard. You have been warned. |

my all time favourite beat em up

yes yes yes. punch, kick, maim, destroy. So insanely simple, yet so brilliant. A fantastic version of the all time great beat-em up on the GBA. Graphics are wonderful and the backdrops are amazing. There are three characterst to unlock, though I haven't actually managed to do this as of yet, and over thirty to select from the off. All of the characters have a wealth of special moves that is dazzling and can perform super special moves that truly destroy. Really, this is a must have GBA game, so get buying. |
