Street Fighter Anniversary Collection

Yes the battle cry for the anouncer of SF3. The SF game that should have been a hit, but alas twas not. What can I say about SF3, but WOW!!!!!!!!! I know your thinking, wait a minute isn't there two games on here. Yes, there is. But I want to mainly concentrate on SF3. In my opinion this the best SF game ever made. That is including SF2 and SSFIV. In fact if it was not for SSFIV I would be spending all of my time with this game. The graphics are great, the animation is so fluid, its like watching a high quality animated cartoon. The game play is very indept,and smooth as silk. It also has the parry system and the super arts, this game version of the ultra combo. The music in the game is the best in the series. Yes, some tracks are not as good as others, but some of these themes just are so slick. In fact this whole game is slick. This hands down is the coolest SF game made, the game just has a nice vibe to it as far as I'm concerned the best anouncer to. As I like to say this is the Miami Vice of fighting games. In case you don't know Miami Vice was a highly stylized, glossy, slick 1980's cop show that was very high on style. And to me this is what this game is. High on style and substance and thats rare. But, if you are a fighting game fan you need this in your collection. This game is that good. I know people complain that it didn't have alot of SF2 characters, and face some of these fighters are just weird. But, the good characters are good as any, in any SF game. Yes, I simp hard for this game. Trust me if your like SSFIV, do yourself a favor and pick this up. It is a hidden gem in the Sf universe. It is a shame it is so over looked. You can also take a trip down memory lane and play a little SF2, to see what started it all. Now see thats the win, win. Lata

When I picked this from a third-party seller, it said it was used and in good condition. When I received it in the mail, I made the shocking discovery that it was BRAND NEW, FACTORY SEALED, AND UNOPENED!!! I seriously hit the jackpot.That was just me, but anyways its a great game and a good value. It's not as jam-packed with games as "Street Fighter Alpha Anthology" but it's got "Third Strike" so that more than makes up for it.My only gripe is that playing against the CPU is unforgivingly difficult. It seriously does not pull any punches and shows no mercy even on the easiest setting. Try "Very Hard" and you'll give up the first try. With that being said, I guess it does need to be a challenge because it is for hardcore fans. It might be harder for beginners to get in to because of the difficulty, but practice makes perfect.5/5

A great collection for a great value. Ever since I first laid my eyes on third strike as a 11 -12 year old, I was enthralled with the visuals, music and everything. ever since I've tried to find a copy to find my own. Needless to say, an original copy for any console costs wayyy too much money for my blood. When I found out that this collection included third strike, I had to get it. Now it doesn't have the visuals of the dreamcast but it's still the complete game I played long time ago. With Gill as the OP boss that he is. Included is hyper street fighter 2. Can't say too much about it, not my cup of tea but it's still there. And only on the PS2 version can you find Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie in it's entirety.

Nice

IT IS A NEW GAME JUST LIKE THEY ADVERTISED BUT...it does NOT HAVE the Playstation offical barcode wrapper on top of the game case. I'm a little obsessive compulsive about such things though and if you don't have OCD then it's no big deal. I started the game up and its a brand new working game! GREAT SELLER, FAST SHIPPING!!! I WILL BUY FROM THESE GUYS AGAIN! Anyways i have the older model PS2 not the slim but if it works on my system, then im positive it will work for those who have the PS2 SLIM... It feels good to have this Street Fighter game again since I sold my copy back in 2005. This game is awesome and I completely forgot IT INCLUDES THE UNCUT STREET FIGHTER 2 ANIMATED MOVIE! Once again GREAT SELLER, FAST SHIPPING, BRAND NEW COPY!!!

This game is amazing! If you are into street fighter and have a ps2 this is a MUST HAVE. Not only does this game include street fighter 3 3rd strike (a.k.a the best street fighter game of all time) it also includes the anniversary Hyper street fighter 2 which has all versions of the second game.HOW CONVENIENT IS THAT! AND FOR $10-20 YOU CANT GO WRONG WITH THIS GAME.WARNING: 3rd strike has an incredible difficulty spike if your not used to arcade fighters so if you were like me and and this was your starting point in the series GOOD LUCK and practice always.

Enjoy play it but its a bit difficult to win some matches

this is by far the best collection that capcom has put together. hyper street fighter 2 will appeal to those who know the differences in each version of street fighter 2. for an example, when zangief misses a screw pile driver, he becomes very vulnerable in super street fighter 2. champion edition doesn't have the missed animation, making him less vulnerable. being able to choose the right version of your favorite character is a big plus. as far as third strike goes, i've never played it in depth. but it looks like i will be. i can now understand why 3rd strike has been called the most overlooked version of the series. it seems to look and play much better than the alpha series. the bottomline is that if i could keep just one 2-D fighting game, this would be it.
