    Seems a tad pricey. [Dec 2011, p.89]

    Its nowhere near perfect online play continues the classic case of being bummed from losses or wins thanks to lag and being S.O.L. if players have no fellow Street Fighters to game with locally.

    People need to get over themselves. How is realeasing a game that fans ASKED FOR, TEN YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RELEASE milking it? Also,People need to get over themselves. How is realeasing a game that fans ASKED FOR, TEN YEARS AFTER THE ORIGINAL RELEASE milking it? Also, they're just going to release another version of 3rd strike 6 months down the line? Proof you have no idea what you're talking about.

    Also, your **** megaman game was never getting made anyway. Deal with it.

    Oh yeah, fun game. Love 3rd Strike.

    I bought Third Stirke in first place for playing it obviously online.
    The Matchmaking is HORRIBLE. Its takes ages to find an opponent at least with a yellow connection.
    Playing Online works like this: -> 5 min search -< opponent with red connection -> repeat -> repeat -> finally someone with at least a yellow connection (if ur lucky).
    You just don't see the who ur connecting to so you cant choose people with good connections for Matches. There is no 2 Player Lobby, you have to open an 8 Player Lobby with 6 Slots locked, guess what u cant tell without joining how big the Lobby is.

    Youtube upload quality is 240p, a bit disappointing but thats ok i guess.

    There is no point buying it if u already got the PS2 Version.

    Wow, people rating games 0 that they most likely haven't even played. Not only do people care about this game, it was released just one timeWow, people rating games 0 that they most likely haven't even played. Not only do people care about this game, it was released just one time almost a decade ago on previous consoles. If you wanted to play street fighter III online before this release, you were out of luck. Some people need to learn what milking actually is before they make a silly comment online. Also, there are about 3 times as many Mega Man games out there as there are Street Fighters, and less people cared about the Mega Man Legend series than any Street Fighter by far. Full Review »
