Editorial Review:
Three ancient spirits ruled the Dark World; Jedah, the oldest spirit, was resurrected. In an effort to rule over the Dark World alone, Jedah wants to save all of the dispirited souls. To create his perfect salvation, he calls those with valuable souls to his world so can take control of them. Choose from 18 horror themed characters as they battle in a tournament to the death. Every character has unique combinations and moves, and hand drawn animation brings the action to life. DARKSTALKERS 3 will challenge your skills as you fight to become the ruler of the night.

Rating:  - Capstone to a classic series, fairly well translated to the PS1.
Back in the mid-90s when the Street Fighter II series was starting to ramp down, folks were on the lookout for the next big fighting game hit. At my local arcade at the university student center, the first Darkstalkers game was a very interesting breath of fresh air. Although the characters were very bizarre, cartoonish horror icons, the gameplay and graphics were (at the time) stunning. The Darkstalkers was important because (along with the Marvel titles) they paved the way for the improved Street ... Read More

Darkstalkers 3 is the cream of the crop among Capcom's massive list of 2-D fighters. Marvel vs Capcom 1&2, Marvel vs X-men, Street Fighter vs Marvel, Marvel Super Heroes, etc. It dosen't matter because of one great universal rule...if you know the moves from the original SF you can play these games. What sets DS3 apart is it's upgrades in the gameing experience. Until now (if you were good enough) if could link hyper combos after knocking an opponent down. DS3 offers you the chance to not only "hit 'em ... Read More

Rating: - Fun Game, If You Can Get Past The Choppy Animation That Is
First I'd like to say I enjoyed this game, while not as well known as the Street Fighter series the Darkstalkers series is by far more enjoyable. The cast of charactos is diverse and the animation is much like that of the Vs. series, Wacky and over the top. The downside is it's hard to appriciate on the playstation. When compared to the first darkstalkers on playstation the charactor animation actually got worse!!! It's choppy and even upgrading the speed to turbo you can still see the painfully obvious missed ... Read More
Rating: - Best Fighter Ever
What makes this game great is the character design! On no other 2D-fighting game will you find characters that look and feel more complete than on this game!!!
OH, and the moves are cool, too!!!
