General: Definitely at the top of it's game, the Darkstalkers series hosts the biggest and most colorful cast yet with Darkstalkers 3. With the addition of new characters, super moves, backgrounds, and a new boss; Darkstalkers' style and cleverness is shown at it's prime... DS3 has a mix of cool characters and humor that very few other series' could ever dream to have. The Playstation versions color-edit mode was also an innovative option for the time.
.
The gameplay was also at it's best for the series, but hasn't changed much either. Chain combos are the main feature, as a truly skilled player can combo you to death... and then, of course, winning with a super move, for extra style. While not for everyone, the 2D gameplay has it's own unique feel, but may not be quite as solid (or fun) as the Street Fighter 2 or Street Fighter Alpha series. The "ouch factor" is also not quite as vivid as it is in the Street Fighter series, which may have to do with sound effects and animations as well.

Closing Comment: Darkstalkers brought some of the craziest and most clever characters the fighting game world has ever seen. The backgrounds and background music also have "atmosphere," giving Darkstlakers 3 a really "moody" feel. Overall, an awesome presentation from beginning to end, and a straight forward gameplay system that many Street Fighter and 2D fighting game fans have come to love. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
