 Save your money Sep 02, 2010
It's a watered down version of each Alpha title. If you previously bought and played each original before (arcade, emulator), you will notice they cut a lot of corners with this anthology (controls not as responsive, less sprites, etc). I consider the Alpha series to be the best in S.F. franchise. CAPCOM is just wanting to make a quick buck with this hack-job. If you're a purist, pass on this. If you're collector or just gotta own anything S.F., then go for it.
 Dissapointed. Jul 03, 2010
The Street Fighter Alpha series has always been a fun variation on the tried and true Street Fighter series. The game play here is on level with with pretty much all of the other SF games (Capcom has rarely failed to live up to the expectations they have been shouldered with after creating such an amazing franchise) so there's nothing to worry about here.
The reason this game gets a 3 star rating instead of a 4 or 5 is because of the content they have included and excluded. Capcom has already shown that they know how to do a proper anthology set with both the Mega Man anthology and the Street Fighter anthology. However, with SSAA, there is no promo material to view, no real extras at all. All you get are more characters, more game modes that vary only the slightest bit from all of the other games.
The largest disappointment is the lack of a World Tour mode in Street Fighter Alpha 3. The original console releases for PSX and Saturn included a gameplay addition called World Tour mode, which allowed you to travel the globe fighting different opponents but under specific challenging circumstances. You might face two Guiles, and only be able to hurt them with special attacks, or need to get a perfect when facing a rush of Rolentos in order to advance. This was not only a great way to practice and hone your skill outside of arcade mode and training, but also allowed you to power up and further customize your character, save it and use it in regular matches.
Instead of including this or any promo material, or worthwhile bonuses we are given hidden versions of the game that are absolutely meaningless. Instead of simply including the extra characters in the original game, or giving us fighting style options, they provide two games that are incredibly superfluous. One is Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, which is SFA3, with a few more characters (who could have easily been included in the original SFA3) as well as Hyper Street Fighter Alpha. HSFA does exactly what I suggested earlier, in that it allows you to switch playing style between the 3 games. The fact that an entire extra game was included because of this is a waste.
Ultimately, this is a great collection. The games are fun. The characters are a blast and interesting. The art direction is superb and the graphics hold up surprisingly well for a 2d fighter. The mechanics of the game are wonderful to learn and utilize and it would take you months to "master" the entire roster of characters. While I realize this seems like a very negative review, the game is absolutely wonderful. However, I can not hide my dissapointment with their failure to do the Alpha series justice, like were able to successfully do with Mega Man and SSFII.

 SF Alpha Anthology Jun 25, 2009
This game is fun but really is a subsidized version of all 4 Alpha series games. I havent't spent much time play SF Alpha 3 yet, but I really hope the World Tour Mode gets unlocked after I beat the Arcade mode. After all, 50% of the reason I bought the set was for the World Tour Mode in SFA 3. Besides from that, all the games have the same modes (Arcade, Versus, Training, etc.) and the same interface. Other than that the games all run smoothly and as well as the individual discs of each title.
