From all the fighting video games around Street Fighter has always been the mother of all.From it's beginning it has been a game who deserves admiration and if it did good as a 2D game it did way better as 3D.This game gives us the opportunity to enjoy SF even more with a lot new things such as great graphic,combos that will blow your mind,lots of new options and lots of characters to chose from.It brings us a whole new SF with the same stuffs we like.Old characters in their 3D version which is just perfect and a whole new cast all with their uniques techniques.This game has new options never seen before in any other SF game.The arcade,versus,Team,ect,modes are all new and better.This game offers you a great deal of exitement as you spend more time playing it.By far,one of the most revolutionary and why not controversial among fans from all the SF games.Buy it,play it for 2 or 4 hours and I guarantee you this game got nothing to envy other SF games.

When the first Street Fighter 2 was released on Super Nintendo almost 10 years ago, my roommate and I played it about 8 or 9 hours per day for close to a month! Street Fighter Alpha EX has the SAME charm and excitement as that first release--simple to learn (even beginning gamers can get the hang of it quickly) but complex enough to keep your interest for months. I've always liked the style of movement in the Street Fighter series and this version (although recreated in a 3D environment) keeps the same "feel." Graphically, it looks very much like the original except 3D. The programmers did an excellent job of rendering characters and backgrounds that hold the original's vibe. The only negative thing I could say about the game is that the 3D rendering engine is a little bit behind the times when compared to some of the most recent 3D fighting games... And I wish that there was a straight forward method to selecting the background (arena) without using cheats. Overall, it is probably the funnest fighting game I've bought this year (1999). Hats off to Capcom for updating a classic without ruining it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Old School SF Game-but woefully underrated, July 23, 2004

Street Fighter EX Plus Alpha is an update of the original arcade game, Street Fighter EX, which had weaker graphics, fewer characters, and of course no extras, being an arcade game. The arcade version of this game shared the same problem, but the PS version is probably one of the more addictive fighting games I've played. At first glance the game is simple and reasonably easy to defeat on normal difficulty level. The plot thickens, though, when the practice mode (where I finally learned how to do a screwdriver) is taken into account, along with the multitude of characters and hidden bosses. Admittedly, some of the new characters are pretty lame, but they all have distinct fighting techniques, timing and drawbacks. And of course, some of them are wicked cool (Doctrine Dark and Garuda come to mind). For the record, this game probably has the best rendition of M. Bison I've ever seen (he appears and sounds just the right mix of powerful and disdainful. His kick throw is still one of my favorite impossible video game throw techniques=)). Then, there's the music; I've spent many hours just listening to the inspired soundtrack. Synthesizer-dominated or not, something about it just made it stand out from the crowd (Guile's music is probably my favorite). That's not even getting into the Meteor combos, combo chaining, throw system (with specific characters), and the missions used in the training mode to teach basic and advanced Street Fighter skills. The only sore point is the graphics. This game is old, old, old! I think it came out in the late 90s, and there have since been two graphically superior sequels. Somehow, the gameplay was never the same. Ex2 took the combo thing a little too far, and three...well, let's just say that game is not my cup of tea. This is a great older game, if you can withstand the graphics, but I suspect I won't mind them too much.Props to Arika for trying something different! Especially now that Capcom has canceled the 3d Capcom Fighting All Stars...and I was so looking forward to see what they would do with Strider! Cheers...=)
