Alpha 3: Road Fighter

There's a good chance you've already played Alpha 3 Street before if you're interested in this version. Regardless, it's worth going over some of the gameplay differences that distinguish this installment from other game and other fighting games in general. For starters, this is the biggest selection of characters the series has ever seen, clocking in at around 40 different faces.

[FEATURES:]
- Amazing animations.
- Easy and Simple to play.
- Cool skill design and effect.
- A lot of challenges and stages.

A-ism is derived from the earlier games, letting you use multiple levels of super moves when you've got enough energy. And V-ism lets you dish out powerful custom combos by stringing together all the moves and special moves in your repertoire. Some moves and tactics are only possible when using one form or another, and though the style you choose doesn't completely change the way your fighter plays, the options still add variety.

As for the action once you're in the thick of a fight, it's mostly the traditional one-on-one fighting game battle you'd expect, but with a few twists. You've got three types of punches and kicks, plus throws and a handful of special moves and super moves to use against your opponent.

With Training and Survival modes providing the usual self-explanatory additions to the games package, it is the traditional Arcade Mode that will provide the first port of call for the majority of gamers, providing a ten or eleven strong list of enemies to battle through with two Rival challenges to take on along the way and the usual boss battle at the end. While the warm embrace of Arcade Mode and the chance to unlock the simple but mildly entertaining character-specific endings will always prove alluring, it’s the World Tour Mode that will keep players coming back to games for the long haul. Playing out as an almost rpg-lite fighter, this mode tasks you with more specific challenges and allows for the customization of your character as you go. This potentially allows for the creation of a character completely suited to your own style that can then be then used in the other traditional modes of play with the additional defensive or offensive abilities that you have bestowed upon them in Edit Mode.

If you do get bored of that, Dramatic Battle adds a third combatant to the mix and in doing so completely changes the approach required for victory with attacks now coming from all sides. It will unlikely prove anyone’s go-to game mode, but it does provide a pleasant change of pace and certainly works in its own right.

Final Battle allows you to jump straight to the specific boss battle for each character chosen and offers a short cut to each character’s end sequence if you are in a rush to see them all it also gives you a chance to jump straight into a more extreme challenge if you are so inclined.

Obviously, the Ad-Hoc versus mode is dependent on being able to find another player, but if you do, the options are immense with traditional and two player Dramatic battles all available to experience with a friend.
