  • Summary: A direct conversion of the critically acclaimed arcade fighting game, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max is enhanced with additional original content specifically designed for the portable system including Wi-Fi functionality and extra gameplay modes. Adding to an impressive roster of more than 30 renowned characters from the world famous Street Fighter universe, four additional fighters are joining the fierce competition. Utilizing the PSP system's superior performance and technology, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max features new content specifically designed for the system. A gameplay mode new to the Street Fighter Alpha series, Variable Battle Mode, has been implemented to allow real-time tag team brawls. Tag out and the second fighter enters performing a jump attack, a move useful for escaping tight situations. Yun, Maki and Eagle, from Capcom vs. SNK 2, as well as Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution, enter the arena and are perfectly reproduced with all new original storylines. Versus battles heat up with the Wi-Fi League Battle Mode that allow a maximum of eight players to duke it out in round-robin mini tournaments. [Capcom]… Expand

    Aside from the system's inherent shortcomings, "Alpha 3 Max" is still the best game ever made for fighting on the go.

    Despite some minor control quibbles, this truly is one of the best PSP titles money can buy.
  3. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    As anyone who's played "Darkstalkers" on the handheld can attest to, the PSP's stock D-pad simply isn't up to the task of a 2D fighting game with all its traditional "fireball" and "dragon punch" motions. [Mar 2006, p.113]

    Best fighting game in the PSP beter than tekken... Anyway I have both and I like the great arcade feel of the game, the controls are perfect I can execute the commands perfectly using the analog cause I've been using my analog for every single game that has that option so it's quite loose. Control wise definetely better than tekken.… Expand

    As of June 2011 this is probably the best fighting game on PSP. I would say it is comfortably better than T5DR (which is still an amazing game - maybe a 9), and much better than Tekken 6 which was a let down. The range of modes is by far and away the most comprehensive on the system for this genre. Also, the addition on Yun means we can get training for SFIVAE while we wait for the disk to be released :D… Expand
