Daily Radar
With near-perfect control, a great new hip-hop soundtrack, several new characters that weren't in "Double Impact" (including perennial favorite Chun Li) and the best 2D animation we've ever seen in a fighting game, this game is certainly the business.

Games Radar UK (Pre-2006)
Play it loud, on a big-assed TV, until you've mastered every character, your girlfriend's left you and the bank has repossessed the goldfish.

Gaming Age
Even trivial things like the special effects for the Super Art have been changed, and like the new character voices, it's a small touch that goes a very long way towards making an attractive, complete package worth buying.
95
Gaming Maxx
Although it doesn't have the insane special moves or high character count of "Marvel vs Capcom 2," it does offer a tight gameplay engine for skilled fighters, and wonderfully smooth graphics to complete the package.
90
GamePro
All anyone really needs to know however is that 3rd Strike looks great, plays great, sounds great and is the definitive version of the SFIII series.
90
Hot Games
This is one beautiful title to look at, despite the rather lackluster character designs.
84
AllDreamcast
Really meant for diehard fans of the series only. The rest of us can probably do without this one.
83
IGN
Truly an engaging fighter, that is easily worthy of just about anyone's private collection... that is unless you already have "Double Impact."
80
DC Swirl
With "Third Impact", the Cadillac model has been given new features (System Direction, five new characters, 'Grade Judge System', etc.) but has suffered a slight alteration to its flawless body (the washed-out colors and backgrounds on SOME of the stages).
80
CNET Gamecenter
While weaker in the graphics department than its predecessor, this game still delivers punch.
75
Antagonist
It's virtually identical to the previously released "Street Fighter III: Double Impact!"
75
GamerWeb Sega
If you're just looking for some general fun with Street Fighter, try Alpha 3 or Marvel vs. Capcom 2.
74
GameSpot
3rd Strike delivers new characters and enough new options to make it a worthwhile product, even if you already own "Double Impact."
70
Happy Puppy
All in all, this is another fine addition to the genre, but how many can one gamer take?
67
Game Revolution
Third Strike comes out marginally better than the previous "Street Fighter III Double Impact" only because of the additional characters, but viewed as a whole is still lacking inspiration and ingenuity.
