The characters actually have... well... character. We know their history, their allegiances, their grudges, and even the colour of their panties in certain circumstances.
-
Is it the best 2D fighting game around? Those that argue that "Marvel vs. Capcom 2" or "Street Fighter Alpha 3" are better forget that it's basically the same engine. SFIII:DI will put you to the test with better AI and harder opponents.
-
Since this is one of the best fighting games to date, you don't even have to be a die-hard fan to enjoy this.
-
Super tight gameplay combined with fun characters and an over abundance of smooth, hand drawn animation all leads to the solid "Double Impact."
-
AllDreamcastThe old, dated look to the series is gone, and what we've got here is a 2D fighter that not only plays great, but looks great as well. You can't go wrong with that combination.
-
Game FanI'll just put it this way: If you've been a Street Fighter fan for the past number of years, like myself, then "Street Fighter III: Double Impact" for the Dreamcast will be in your fighting collection, especially since you're getting two games in one.
-
Sega XIt's a departure from the Alpha and Versus series, returning to the roots from where Street Fighter sprang.
-
"Alpha III" wins hands down in all senses.
-
Daily Radar"Street Fighter III: Double Impact" doesn't have all the bells and whistles that other SF titles have, but its fighting engine is so clean and deep that it is a joy to play for old schoolers.
-
Nothing especially new or groundbreaking has been added
-
CNET GamecenterGreat Street Fighter game, but only for purists.
-
Da GameboyzThis is a game best played with some form of arcade stick if you can get one.
-
The Street Fighter series continues to offer a depth of play that allows masters of the game to truly be masters. Anyone who considers themselves a fighting game fan should own this title.
-
Stick with it, find a friend to play it with, and "Street Fighter 3: Double Impact" has almost everything you'll ever need from a 2D fighter.
-
Recommended, if you're willing to invest the time and six-button controllers to learn the layers of nuisance and depth that go into controlling a 7.2" tall, 445 lb. German wrestler named Hugo (or a Brazilian Capeoira female fighter named Elena that weighs considerably less... ahem!).
-
Hardcore fans are going to be on automatic and get it right away, but it's a tough situation for the average fighting fan.
-
The game feels like a return to what made "Street Fighter 2" such a blast back in the day.
-
Dreamcast.netUnfortunately, "Street Fighter 3: Double Impact" features only a limited amount of characters, and few gameplay options.
-
The game did add a parry maneuver that, when mastered, really changed the face of the game.

GustavoH.R.Jul 4, 2005Great graphics and controls. No originality, though. Where's the old sense of fun?
