This game just came out on the PSN store. Its only 5.99. I like the old shool fighting games, espeially the SF series. Is it worth the price tag??

Not really. I think the series got better in Alpha 2 & Alpha 3. But, this game will run on PSP right?

Definitely not worth it. There's other ways of playing it(if you know what I mean).

It would be worth it if it had online play, but it doesn't. I'll stick to my ways ;)

I just bought it about half an hour ago, and I'm hooked.

It plays pretty well on the PSP, and it looks nice, too.

For only $6, I'm very happy.

there was an anthology released on the PS2, I think you can get it for about 20 bucks.

Street Fighter Alpha was good, but Alpha 2 was better, and Alpha 3 nailed it. I'd suggest getting the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology for PS2 since it comes with those three, Alpha 2 Gold and Gem Fighter, plus the Hyper versions of the four can be unlocked (more characters). Unless you don't have a PS2/PS3 has no BC. Then I say get it. Alpha series and Third Strike were the high points of the series, in my opinion.

I'd say no. IMHO, Tekken 2 is a better PS1 fighter and Alpha is definitely the weakest of the SF Alpha series.

lol @ people commenting on nyc's epic game library. I did kindof assume that you at least RENTED everything, nyc, lol.

$6 isn't bad I guess. But why don't you just get Street Fighter Alpha Anthology? It can be found for a reasonable price at EB Games . Unless you have a 40GB PS3, in which case, nevermind.
