Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX

"Triumph or die! And this game surely does triumph..."

Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX for the PSP currently surely is the best fighting game on the PSP. It's got all you could want, great graphics, the sound is like a candy to your ears, and with the great gameplay Street Fighter always had since the first game. If you're a hardcore fighting games fan and you have a PSP, be sure to buy this. But if you do want more detailed information, then keep reading.

Gameplay - Well, you got lots of modes to play on like World Tour (you choose a character, develop it's skills and fight around the world with various opponents), Dramatic Battle (it's a battle where you fight 2 vs 1), the Arcade Mode (this is more or less a story mode), and there also lots of them more. I won't tell you them all because they're too many but do a search over the web and you will find information about them. In this section, the only bad thing I can remember of is the controls which after about 2 or 3 battles your hands might get tired and the directional pad does make certain moves harder to do, although I think that this won't bother you too much. - 9/10

Graphics - Just like the console versions, they're just simply superb for a portable system. Character detail looks good, the stages look good too, and when you hit the opponent with a simple attack or a special attack it looks perfect too. - 10/10

Sound - The sound is great and hasn't been changed from the console versions. There are also lots of detail on little things like when you start a battle there's an announcer saying things like "Triumph or die!" and "Go for broke!". It adds some variety, that's for sure. - 10/10

Play Time/Replayability - I think it is more or less infinite, since it's a fighting game and if you want to have a fight with someone then just grab your PSP and play. Besides, it's portable. - 10/10

Final Recommendation - Just buy it, don't think about renting it, it's good and I'm sure everyone will like it!
