Street Fighter III 3rd Strike
from: Capcom
Amazon.com Review:
Break out your nunchaku and don your black belt: Ryu, Chun Li,and Ken are back, and they've brought with them 16 friends and a ton of newspecial moves to vie for the coveted championship belt in Street Fighter III:3rd Strike.
This latest version of the celebrated Street Fighter series is perhapsthe most attractive yet, with its highly detailed backgrounds and characteranimations that take full advantage of the Dreamcast's power.
Like many 2-D fighting games, there are two methods to playing Street FighterIII: 3rd Strike--learn to finesse the joystick and perform impressivespecial moves, or simply mash the buttons randomly. As such, those who arewilling to devote the time to learning the game's myriad secret special moveswill be able to earn Street Fighter black belts and enjoy the game to itsfullest, while casual gamers who prefer the button-mashing route might find morereplayability in a less complicated game.
For those who have ninja fingers, Capcom has added to this new version a gradingsystem that judges the player's performance after each match and comments on hisor her skills.
The game's value doesn't end when you've mastered the intricate maneuvers,either, thanks to the extreme level of customization that can be made to thefighting, which virtually allows the player to reconstruct the game's rules.--Benjamin Reese

Hot on the heels of Capcom's double whammy of Street Fighter III action, Double Impact, comes 3rd Strike, the third game in the Street Fighter III series.
