Superb Fighting Game
The third of its series, Darkstalkers 3 is a great fighting game. There are more special moves and some creative stage design. The new characters are good but I would have preferred if there were more and they covered the monsters more obviously (What is Jedah supposed to be? A grim reaper-like figure?). In terms of the versions, I'd recommend the Japanese Sega Saturn one with the 4MB cart. It arcade perfect that way. Speaking of which, the game is also available as a ROM for the arcade emulater M.A.M.E. Both are under the name "Vampire Savior", the Japanese title I believe. An inferior Sony Playstation version also exists but I say that the game is meant to be played as the arcade version made it. Whichever way you choose, you will not be disappointed.
