Zatch Bell Mamodo Fury - PS2 Game (Retro Fam)

The summary says it is 6 games in one. Really, it's only 2 games in one. Street Fighter III is a blast and one of the most fun games in the series. Loads of characters, new moves, and new locations. This game alone would've gotten a 5.Then there's supposedly 5 Street Fighter games: Street Fighter II, Championship, Turbo, Super Turbo ... and one other I can't remember because in truth it's not there.It's hard to explain, but instead of choosing one of the five games to play, you play one game but choose from which game your opponents come from. The game menus are the same, the world map that flies back and forth is the same, everything except what characters you fight.Also, I still have Street Fighter II for super nintendo. The game is incredibly easy on level 0. So easy that it can be beaten with straight perfects. Level 5 is a challenge. In the Anniversy edition, the "easiest" difficulty level is the same as difficulty 5 on the super nintendo. Which is very annoying.On top of all that, I bought the game hoping to have Street Fighter Alpha included. Then I thought maybe I remembered wrong and Alpha was really Turbo. Nope, Alpha not included.But 3rd Strike makes the game worth it. Easily.

I'm 27 and have been a Street Fighter Fan since I was 15 and started playing this in the Arcades. I played SFIII in an arcade during the summer of '98 and never found it again. I really loved that version and am glad to see that it's made it to a mainstream home-game platform. I believe it was also on some lame Atari system that failed the test of time.Anyway...the info that's out on this game sounds GREAT and I can't wait to play it! I was saddended to hear that the bonus rounds have been removed. They were a nice treat and cool throw-back to Final Fight...from whence SFII draws many of it's cool characterictics. Speaking of which...when the hell is someone gonna make an honest and true home version of Final Fight for PS2?! What a classic that game was!!!

The good old games

I used to like playing this game years ago at home or at the arcade, so it was great to get it again. Fun to pick up and play now and again.

I'm gonna rate Street Fighter Anniversary 4 out of 5 stars. For a low cost of 30 bucks you get 2 cool fighters on one disk.Street Fighter III 3rd Strike is arcade perfect, the characters have the alpha-anime look to them. You can even watch the Street Fighter movie on this disc. Sorry guys, the movie is the PG13 version. You'll have to buy the uncut version if you want to see some skin. My only complaint is some of the music doesn't match the game. (Rap music, huh?)The old school Street Fighters are here too. All the characters are available to choose from, even the secret Akuma character from Street Fighter II Turbo. This is almost a perfect port of the version from the arcade on your PS2. There are even remixes of the classic tones to choose from here. You can choose from all the different versions of the past Street Fighters! I wish there was an option to adjust the music on this version though; it drowns out some of the cool sound effects. Depending on the version you pick the characters poses, voices, and sound effects also change. The breakable backgrounds are back! There is no missing animation from the character sprites this time. Ryu and Ken actually slant when you move! I've have a few complaints on this version. Some of the colors are slightly faded. This is highly noticeable on Balrog and Sagat back stages. (Where blacks look gray)The classic bonus stages are missing in this port and each character only has one thing to say after each victory, wit.
