Darkstalkers 3 review

Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers 3
The third game in the series canon. Vampire Savior - The Lord of Vampire (ヴァンパイア セイヴァー, Vanpaia Seivā?)[1], released in 1997. Originally titled Jedah's Damnation, the game retains the character roster of Night Warriors, omitting Donovan, Huitzil and Pyron from the lineup. Taking their place were four new characters: Jedah, Lilith, Q-Bee and B. B. Hood.

Vampire Savior eschews the traditional round-based system in favour of what is dubbed the "Damage Gauge System" where battles take place during a period of one round, with each fighter having two "life markers" (by default) which diminish after one character runs out of vitality. The player can also regain a portion of their life during battle if they manage to avoid taking further hits. The game also introduces the "Dark Force System" which allows players to perform special abilities unique to each character for a limited period.

A Saturn version was released in Japan only in 1998, which required Capcom's 4MB RAM Cartridge. This version contains all 15 characters from the original Vampire Savior as well as the three Night Warriors characters who were brought back in Vampire Savior 2/Vampire Hunter 2, and thanks to the 4MB RAM cartridge, more faithfully reproduces the 2D-animation fluidity of the arcade than the either of the earlier console releases.

In 1998, an update of the game was later released on PlayStation as Vampire Savior: EX Edition in Japan, and Darkstalkers 3 in North America. Although it is an EX version to the third canon game in the series, it is actually a compilation of Vampire Savior and its two Japan-only arcade updates. This version allows players to use all 18 characters in all three games.

well here we are 2010 12 years after this game was made an as a arcade lover this game is must in my collection. this is an exceptional game and some of the characters were used in later crossover such as marvel vs capcom and now waiting for the new title in 2011 marvel vs capcom 3 !!!!!!Read full review...

dark stalkers 3

copcom classic, that is a must buy if you are a fan of fighters. more characters then the first and smoother gameplay. If you have played the first one you will feel right at home playing the 3rd installment. the controls are similar to other capcom games. for instance virgile plays alot like ryu, ken, dan. the ps1 game will play on any ps3 so if you did not keep your old ps1 or psx you are not out of luck. (Ever ps3 is backwards compatable with ps1 games but not all are backwards compatable with ps2 games.) This game is extreamly fun and the character development is extreamly elabrite. you can play as a vampire, mummy, sucubus, demon, and all sorts of other interesting characters with different moves customed to them. hope you have funny playing i know i do!!! if you enjoy this game and like fighters be sure to look into jojo's bizzare adventure.Read full review...

Good stuff from Capcom's art team

Great condition disk and it plays great. I have lately been trying to research and understand the Capcom art and animation of the 90's and this is a great example.

I love Capcom fighting games

Why I bought it:
Because it's been so long since I've played it.The last time I played a Darkstalkers fighting game was on PSP.
What I like about it:
It's similar to Guilty Gear how people are demon possesed,and I would like to see them go against each other.What I really like about is how everyone's stance is on there. Perfect examples: Hsien-ko, L.Raptor,and Felicia.
Dislikes about the game:
I don't hate the game at all.This game is tight;everyone on this is deadly though.Read full review...

nostalgic

The bit rate looks different than I remember, but thats probably because I didn't have a flat screen at the time.
its great to go back and try some of new mechanics.

Street Fighter, Demon Edition

As before, Capcom made a fighting game with a pretty addicting style of combat (Street Fighter) and soon after they made a game with similar gameplay only with demon characters from a dark world. The characters are creative, have their own backstory and of course have a number of different combat styles. Once again, Capcom has satisfied me with another great game.Read full review...

Darkstalkers 3

I love this game because I am a huge fan of the series. I've been playing the games since they first came out in arcades and have enjoyed them ever since. I owned this game many years ago and it was misplaced. I saw a good deal on here and decided to purchase it again. If you enjoy Capcom fighting games, this is definitely one you should consider picking up.Read full review...

Rising Darkness

I love this game, because it has all of the legendary Movie monsters and some from ancient folklore in one massive free-for-all.
To determine who is the strongest, and who shall rule supreme?
The storyline, Background music, and the characters w/ their Special moves and Finishers is an Epic win.Read full review...
