Street Fighter EX3 has been getting alot of flak. It's somewhat undeserved. No, more like, no one gives the game a chance.
My first encounter with this game was at a friends house. He had gotten a PS2 for Christmas and he had a few games. With only some Street Fighter II turbo experience under my belt, needless to say I wasn't very good. But the game is excellent.
I won't bother with the graphics. Suffice to say they are extrodinary. The play control is actually much better than people make it out to be. Their complaints are based on the fact that unlike other versions (such as Alpha 3) EX3 is simplified to the point of being retro. Gone are the alpha counters, two in ones and billion hit combos. Thus timing is more important than speed in this game. 30 hits are impressive here.
This game lasts longer. Each character, as always, has there own fighting style, if you've played any Street Fighter you're already familiar with the battle system. But you don't have things like '80% damage Juggernaut Head Crush' (as per MvsC2). So each battle depends more on skill. The best part of this game is not 'Original Mode' but rather the multiplay mode (though for anyone who meets Shin Bison, woe be him). Also the Character Edit mode features Ace, a charcter who can be armed with many moves from diffrent fighters, such as Ryu's Hadouken and even Cammy's Killer bee assault. Ace thus becomes a very versitile fighter that can be custimized to your taste.
EX3 is a game you can have a field day with. Play it, learn the moves, develop combos and battle your friends. This game is flat out great. It doesn't have the glitter and glitz of other fighting games, but it is something fans of SF will appreciate if they gave it a good chance. My only complaint is that there where some of my favorite characters missing such as Dan Hibiki. Dan in 3-D would make sure I never earned any respect though.

In short, if you've ever been a fan of Street Fighter, buy this game. If not, please walk away now. This game is Street Fighter at its finest. You can have up to four players at once fighting in a 2 on 2 tag team that is simply amazing. The graphics are impressive, though nothing that couldn't be done on a Dreamcast, and the control is dead on. When I bought my system I got SSX, Tekken Tag, Summonner, and this, and even though the graphics are less impressive in SF:EX3 than in any of the other games, I keep coming back and playing this for the sheer fun factor. Don't believe the other reviews; SF:EX3 is amazing.

Well, I personally like this game! I remember when Street Fighter EX+Alpha came to the PSX I loved it! Then I went to my movie theater and saw Street Fighter EX 2 I had to play it! Next it came to PSX with the Plus, And now SFEX3 is on PS2 with a better game engine then the Japanese Version.. If you're not a SF fan don't bother with this game, but If you're looking for a cool game fighter for the PS2 get this! If you have a Multi-Tap the cool 2 on 2 or 1 on 3 battles will keep you coming back for more! Over all this game is worth the money .

This game rocks! Great graphics and unbelievable fighters add more to its status. I6 available fighters, each with terrific moves and good graphics compel you to the screen. After reading the reviews, I was kind of disappointed, and couldn't take the game back. (I had ordered it and it was on its way.) But after getting the game and playing it, I was shocked with how good the gameplay was and totally forgot the bad reviews people wrote about this extraordinary game. You can choose from 27 fighters,(16 are available, 9 are locked and you have to get in), each with their own special moves, super combos and meteor combos. Another feature is that this game is definetely not a "button masher", as some people wrote about another one of my favorite games, Dead or Alive2. It takes time to master the super combos, which I have, and the meteor combos, which I still have no idea to, which classifies it as a "non-button masher." This game is awesome and if you are compelled to play fighting games hours on end, this is the game for you.

Street Fighter EX3 is definitely the best street game that I have ever played in my life. As far as graphics is concerned, no other street figher comes close to it. Some things that I miss are the old characters such as Cammy. Some things that are quite new...new characters that appeared out of nowhere. It seems that the partnership of Capcom and Akira brought the introduction of never seen before characters such as Kairi or Garuda. The only character that you can customize, Ace, can be quite powerful if he's assigned the right combination of moves, but gaining experience is a pain as one has to complete "missions". I definitely give it two thumbs up. It's a [good] price for a great game. It has become a little complicated from the snes versions, but it's worth the price--super combos, meteor combos, etc. The only part that I really hate is obtaining the metals to obtain characters such as evil ryu, bison II, etc. Some tasks are easy to achieve, but others--like 2 meteor combos--can prove to be quite impossible.

On the downside, characters no longer have their own stage. What belongs to whom? If it wasn't for the music, which changes according to the character, I would say that the fighting arenas just serve no purpose. In addition, I just missed those old finishing scenes. Each character's ending comprises a letter-format statement...no much creativity there. However, the ending credits are just awesome. Why? Because you can fight an entire group of guys nonstop. Purpose? How about plain fun? How about...how many can you k.o.?

One of the best purchase for PS2 I have made so far. No regrets.

At First I thought this game was really good. The graphics are great. But after I mastered it and beat it so many times, I got sick of it. You'd be better off by getting Capcom Vs. SNK2. Im a big SF fan but this game isn't that good.

I have recently gotten a PS2 and I've heard all about Street Fighter EX 3. I have read the Brady Games Stragedy Guide BEFORE I have even played the game. It looked like just...AWESOME. Well, the time came to play the game when my friend invited me to his house. I went over and I played SFEX3. I thought it [wasn't a very good game to begin with]...It was slow, supers didn't do much damage (except Bison's Super Psycho Crusher) and the only good things were sound and graphics. I say graphics again cause it's just totally amazing. THAT WAS A MISTAKE. I couldn't believe I was that stupid. After you play SFEX3 for a long time, it'll turn out to be one of your favorite games. It is SO SO SO fun once you know the moves and get used to it. I particularly like it cause my friend Bryan, who is Super good at Video games, can't do "never ending" combos on me and it takes time to win, not like MVC where one super takes half the life bar. It turns out that I WHOOPED Bryan VERY BADLY TOO. So the key thing about this game is time. Oh yeah...you'll learn to love ACE, the editable character (not edible...) and it's cool trying to learn more Experience points to purchase new moves. Don't listen to the other reivews. They're cheating you. This is A Wonderful game. The Graphics (say again) are totally AMAZING. AnyONE would agree, even if the person didn't like the gameplay. BUY IT!

This game is awesome! It is SOOOOOOOOOOO much fun. Once you get beyond the Playstation 1 physics and design, you will be having tons of fun. The replay value is in years! Get a friend to play with you and you will discover exactly what I mean.

Street Fighter EX3 is probably one of the best fighting games,but why 16 megabites? that's like,almost the whole frickin' memory card!! (I Think?)
Anyway back to the GOOD parts,S.F.EX3 has really good graphics and good controls,not to mention very good music.My favorite is Ken's.
The game does not really have a story but who cares,It's still REALLY fun to fight all those losers at the end!(hahahaha!)
The thing is,I was exspecting more of a challenge.
I beat the game in less than one minute!(seriously!)
Bison(Boss)Is Eaisier then Skullo!!(Skullo Sucks!)
Vega,Ken,and Ryu are probably the only kick A$$ guys!!
I don't think they sell this game in the stores anymore,it was #2 of the first 3 games that were for P.S.2!!
the 1st game ever was The Bouncer,then #3 was Tekken Tag.
You should probably order it from here,'cause i don't think amazon.com lets you "RENT" stuff.
sincerly,
kenny

Ok first off I want to say i think this is a great game in it's own right. I rate games based on the experience I had with that particular game. Most of the bad reviews for this game were based on a comparison to another game. I totally agree with the guy that said SFA3 had tighter controls. So when I want that I play SFA3!(not forgeting PS2's reverse compatibility)When i buy or rent a new game. I expect something new and different. if you like the game play it. If not..Play whatever it is you like. Don't play all games expecting them to be like another...You'll have alot more fun. That's what it's all about right?
