We had a short conversation about AH2 when that came out a while back. The main issue was that the port of AH2 was pretty much borked due to slowdown. Well, happily, 3 does not have that problem. It had better not, since the PS3/360 are muuuuch beefier systems. There doesn't seem to be that much new over AH2 at a glance (3 new characters & arcana, a handful of new moves?), but since 99% of the world skipped the port of AH2... There is a huge difference between AH1 and AH3. more than double the characters, so lots more variety.
Well worth picking up if you're a fan of combo-heavy fighting games. Even more so if you like anime girlies.
