General: SFEX3 was an attempt at bringing the Street Fighter series into the next gen onto Sony's PS2 as a launch title, but was obviously rushed, which may have been the very reason that this game sucked so bad.
First of all, there were NO new characters added to the series, and several characters from the EX series were actually missing; like Blaire, Hayate, Allen, and even Akuma... WTFIA!?!?! (Where the fuck is Akuma). The only new face is a character named "Ace," a customizable character as players can give him moves from any of the fighters in the game... But you can't change how he looks, so it's kind of a pointless feature. But seriously, there's no excuse for the lack of characters.
The only thinkable plus about the game is the imoproved graphics, and new "tag team" gameplay, which fits into the series nicely. Many of the combos and meteor combos are back from SFEX2, but without any new characters or moves, this game hardly deserves to be called a sequel. The gameplay is practically the same as SFEX2 or SFEX, if you take out the tag team element. The backgrounds and music of SFEX3 is also lacking and uninspiring, nowhere near as good as that of SFEX or SFEX2. With that said, the EX series was it's best in SFEX2, and probably even better in the original SFEX than in SFEX3.

Closing Comment: No new characters??? Not much of a sequel, but at least the tag team gameplay is somewhat fun... Too bad there aren't more characters. If Capcom just spent more time on it and not rushed it for the PS2 launch, it very well may have turned out better. Ohh but why does Ryu have horribly stubby legs in the intro? It looks terrible. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
