    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

    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.

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

    If you are a fan of the old Street Fighter games which wrote history, you will love Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike Online. It's a solid remake with renewed HD character graphics, but stayed true to it's roots. The level of difficulty is as tough as ever, so if you have a bad timing, you're simply going down. The one bad thing is a stupid Hip-Hop Soundtrack in the menu, though the in-game sounds are great. All in all, the game sends you back into a typical amusement hall of the 90s.

    The only flaw? It's occasionally too brilliant for its own good. [Nov 2011, p.113]
