Given its immense popularity, not to mention first-rate pedigree, it's not surprising that Street Fighter EX3 is among the first PlayStation2 titles. After the relative success of the first game for the original PlayStation (PSX) and the disaster of the second, it'll be interesting to see how long-term fans of the series take to yet another 3-D brawler with the Street Fighter moniker. Even with classic characters--like Sagat, Blanka, Ken, and (of course) Ryu--back to duke it out, this might be one horse that's been beaten to death. In Street Fighter EX3, players will be able to take advantage of a new system that allows character switching at any time throughout the battle. Not only will you be able to swap at will, but your dynamic duo also will have double-teaming tag combos to enhance an opponent's agony. This means that gamers will face three other opponents, and have four incredibly detailed fighters battling it out on screen at any one time in the ultimate handicap match. Take them out, and one might ask to join as your sidekick. Form a stable of four, and all of you can take your turn kicking Bison's tail, as well as that of any of the other famous Street Fighter characters in the game. The control is predictable, but that's what fans want... nay, crave. Super combos, dizzies, and a number of other staple Street Fighter combos are here and look incredible. Lighting effects are much more mature: the animated sparks fly, and the pyrotechnics flame up all over the place. Character models have come a long way since the days of the first blocky Street Fighter EX game. Although they still lack necks, these brawlers are seamless and well defined. Their victorious poses rival any graphics that previously have been seen on a console. Not everything is peaches 'n' cream with EX3, however. The endings of the EX series always have been a bit lacking: all you get in EX3 is a frozen frame with text; then, while the credits roll, a little consolation prize: over 10 enemies onscreen at once, all wanting to put the boots to you. This isn't the "true" ending we'd hoped for, but it's a nice gesture (and it shows off the system's power). Capcom is doing everything it can to make Street Fighter EX3 the fighting game of choice for the PlayStation2; but, with Namco's Tekken Tag Tournament set to hit the market at the same time, it'll be a tough sell. Still, this is a Street Fighter game, and that alone justifies at least a play. --Todd Mowatt Pros: - Switch characters at any time during fighting
- Seamless and well-defined character models
Cons: - Predictable controls
- Lackluster ending

 best graphics of any SF game May 14, 2006
street fighter ex3 has the best graphics of any Street Fighter (SF) game ever produced. The characters are huge (compared to previous SF games). The animations are very fluid and very realistic. Kicks really look like kicks, and punches accurately reflect true martial arts styles. Special moves look beautiful and amazing. The background and camera angles actually change when special moves are executed.
street fighter ex3 is 3d, which means the camera angle can move around during the fight. it doesn't move around so much that it can make you dizzy (or hard to target the enemy). It moves around enough to make it exciting and still interesting.
I spend a lot of time playing this fun game. but the biggest drawback is the challenge. On a scale of 0 to 10 with 10 being hard, this game usually has a difficulty rating of 6. I have to even minimize the damage setting so i don't finish the other guy off in 10 seconds.
the computer doesn't seem to block many attacks. similarly, some characters seem unwilling or unable to attack. most matches are less than a minute. while it may seem exciting to be 1 fighter taking on 3 opponents on simultaneously, or participate in a 2 on 2 tag team match... even on minimum damage setting, you'll be able to finish off the other guys quite quickly.
so, graphics are the best plus, difficulty is worst con. Executing the special moves is also very difficult. I've played this game for hundreds of hours. But I have only executed special moves by luck.
Still, this is a great game. And if you get it used at amazon or somewhere, it definitely is worth the less than $20 price tag that it carries.

GREAT CHARACTERS,GREAT GRAPHICS,GREAT SPECIAL MOVES,GREAT GAMEPLAY AND GREAT SET OF OPTIONS BUT NOT ENOUGH DEPTH IN THE GAME LIKE-NO STAGE SELECT,FEW AND BORING STAGES NO STORYLINE MOVIE ENDINGS,ONLY 6 STAGES TO FIGHT AND NOT TO BE TO PICKY,NO MILD VIOLENCE(LIKE A LITTLE BLOOD!)KEEPS IT FROM GETTING 5 STARS. BUT CAPCOM VS SNK 2 IS THE LAST GOOD STREET FIGHTER GAME(BESIDES 3RD STRIKE ON THE COLLECTION)TO COME OUT AND THIS IS 100% BETTER THAN THAT GARBAGE FIGHTING EVOLUTION AND IF CAPCOM WANTS TO GET BACK ON TOP IT WOULDN'T HURT TO RELEASE A 3-D RIVAL LIKE CAPCOM VS NAMCO WITH CHARACTERS FROM SOUL CALIBUR AND TEKKEN BUT JUST A SUGGESTION.

The graphics are not spectacular but this is a GREAT, fun, fighting game with lots of variety. The graphics are ok though and when you learn some of the better combos it really becomes addictive. The game was widely over looked and should not have been.
VERY FUN! December 29, 2003

SF EX3 is the one fighting game you must have. The graphics are
cool. Fighting the other character or teams is challenging. If you beat the game don't stop. Each time you beat it, you get a new character. There are nine hidden characters to earn or
unlock. And just so you know, there are two other characters:
M. Bison 2 and Evil Ryu. I won't tell you any tips, you should
play it if you haven't. Trust me, you'll love it!
