The revamping of iconic 2D-sprite animation is, in my opinion, a worthy endeavor all on its own. Before you ask, the song in the trailer is Anthem by Adhesive Wombat .

Despite any preference, I firmly stand by this: 3rd Strike is one of the best-looking fighting games, period. The animations for each character are crisp and clean.

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers. As we have seen time and time again in PlayStation-era role-playing games, mixing 2D sprite animation with 3D graphics can have mixed results.
