Street Fighter Third Strike Online Edition Review 

INTRODUCTION 

 Street Fighter Third Strike Online Edition is a 2d fighting game that is also remake of  street fighter 3, but with the option to go online and battle other players in the expanding multiplayer universe. the cost is 15 dollars, and in my opinion is worth every penny.

GAMEPLAY

Street Fighter Third Strike Online Edition takes the feel of a old arcade game and expertly ports its easy control base system to your xbox 360/playstation 3. the default screen is that of a arcade game, but in the options menu you can change it to a regular screen. Street Fighter Third Strike Online Edition hits that old arcade feel right on the money, while you might have a hard time trying to do the more advanced combos there is a parry training option. but it doesn't tell you how to do parries, never the less tell you what a parry is. so its a option better left skipped. it also offers you on how to do character combos using special moves.

                                                       MULTIPLAYER 

Street Fighter Third Strike Online Edition offers a wide variety of multiplayer options. from fighting your friend on the couch to fighting some guy in russia, this game lets you fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. it also offers a wide variety of multiplayer options but not to much that it overwhelms you. so you could find a very specific match. like fighting a person you lives in europe who is a level 2 and the match only goes on for 30 seconds and has 7 rounds. 

SINGLE PLAYER 

if your not a fan of multiplayer then there is a single player mode. but it only offers arcade mode. its where you have to fight 10 enemies. its pretty standard and does offer a choice on who to fight for the next match. you can also do this challenges that unlock vault points (VP for short). when you unlock VP you can go to the vault and unlock specific charters concept art. its a nice edition and something i hope to see in the future.

THE VERDICT 

street fighter third strike online edition is a generous offer by Capcom for those to relive those old arcade days. i would recommend this game to anyone who is looking for some fun. and while though there aren't many options, it still gives you a amazing arcade feel. in the end i give street fighter third strike online edition a 9/10.
