Street Fighter Alpha 3
Hands down, Street Fighter Alpha 3 for the Sega Dreamcast is the best SF Alpha game in the series. It's everything you should expect from Street Fighter and more. Such as graphics and animation that go beyond the arcade and PSX versions. Several new modes of play that are well worth the price. World Tour takes your selected street fighter around the world (duh) to face different challenges. Such as defeating an opponent with 4+ combo attacks or taking on two fighters at a single time. Depending upon your skill and ability you acquire experience points and enhancements that allow you to customize your character. Which can then be transported to Arcade or Dojo Mode. Speaking of Dojo mode, you get to put your fighter up against several strong computer opponents and really test your mastery. Their's also a special online link that features charcter move lists and more. Not to mention the game boasts 30+ playable characters each with their own ending. There's definitely alot of game here and be sure not to miss out on it.
