Author's Review

When there were commercials about Tekken 3 has brought out attention to see the amazing graphics of all the characters portray in the match. As to know how many feels when it comes to purchase the game and begin looking around where to start. It has to be the Practice mode where you can practice the characters move that might be helpful when facing different foes as well the combos that can be seen. By pressing the select button gives you a look of how the trick has been done. You do have a choice to fight the opponent or just simply make a mess as a dummy. I think that it was quite interesting to see the damage count percentage as well other information that goes when you perform a move.

But when you are ready to fight then suggesting you to play around in the Arcade mode. This is quite a story as you choose a character that would be going into victory and get to see the ending which was pretty much. The way that you can unlock different modes that you might want to have some more fun as you complete each game. Also there are three more characters that can be unlocked when you do a task. Although I think it might be worth to understand of what different modes gives people what to look for and how I rate as well.

Survival Mode ( * * * * ) Which you will choose a character that will test endurance when you will face random opponent and proceed to take a stand and moving onto different stages. As you will read the number of a current winning streak that send you to be in the Top 10 place. Although there would be opponents getting a lot tougher when you are trying to do the very best to survive the battle until you get beaten.

Time Attack Mode ( * * * 1/2 ) Leaving you to pick any characters to see how fast you can beat the game while staying alive. If you do lose in the battle the clock would continue when after getting back into the action. I believe that it can be tough to just simply getting into the feeling of getting the amount of lowest time and try to be in good health.

Force Mode ( * * ) It was quite the less fun in the mode when you choose one character that has to survive a battle of taking out different enemies that surprises in different directions. As you watch the clock to see how much time that you need to proceed moving onto the next stage. The only health source that you will find that seems helpful is a chicken, which refuels, and it becomes hard with the controls when the action moves into a pace. This mode also frustrating when you have to face the boss Jin's father and have a hard time to reach to the end. If you do die in the battle which the game would start over from the beginning.

Tekken Ball Mode ( * * * * ) This where you will need to practice to get the ball from your side to another and land like a volleyball. The way that you need to win the game is to have the ball hit the opponent as much damage and then the ball must hit the ground in order something happen. There are four balls that you can choose to take into battle from a beach ball (slow) to iron ball (More damage).

The options was pretty much straight forward when you want to change the skill levels as well difference in the rounds and unlimited timing. But then you will also see the characters in the lowest time attack, most wins in survival win, most usage of the characters, and the records in 2-player battle. If you feel that you want to auto-save the game which you need to have the option "yes" otherwise it is to be taken manually.

You can also have the music to be original or the arcade which seem some people want to have different taste when focusing onto the battle and maybe the music. If you do win with each character ending that you can watch the movies anytime. There would be an option to use different Tekken games that has music tracks that you listen.

Graphics ( 5 stars ) I have to say the graphics was really great when seeing the great detail of each characters without any break-up texture, the environment pretty much nice. Even the ending videos would brought out the 3D modeling and also much like seeing in Playstation 2 or even DVD.

Here are the characters needed to be unlocked:
Anna ( Nina Sister )
Doctor B.
Gon ( Little Dinosaur )

Sound ( 3 Stars ) I think the music was ok but I think that changing two different types from arcade or the original doesn't seem to change too much. But hearing the characters getting hit by the moves was good enough to enjoy the feeling.

Controls ( 3.1/2 Stars ) It was quite tough to know how the buttons going to respond to different moves as well the combos. It would be quite tough when you have to perform kicks as well punching when you don't remember what function would seem to go on without doing practice and read the move list.

I think that this game would be quite good for anybody who want to find a fighting game with as much action.
