TEKKEN 3

Tekken 3 is the third installment in the popular Tekken fighting game series. It was the first game released on Namco's System 12 hardware (an improvement to the original two Tekken games, which used System 11). It was the last installment of Tekken for the PlayStation. It was released for the PlayStation in 1998, and in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 as part ofTekken 5's Arcade History mode. The PlayStation port became a major critical and commercial success, and is still widely regarded as one of the greatest fighting games ever released.

GAMEPLAY
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Tekken 3 maintains the same basic fighting system as its predecessors, but brings improvements, such as significantly more detailed graphics and animation, 15 new characters added to the game's roster, and faster and more fluid gameplay. Perhaps the most noticeable change in Tekken 3 is sidestepping, allowing fighters to step "into" or "out of" the background, whereas the element of depth had been largely insignificant in previous Tekken games. Jumping was toned down in Tekken 3, no longer allowing fighters to jump to extreme heights (as was present in previous games) but keeping leaps to reasonable, realistic heights which made air combat more controllable. The improved engine allowed for quick recoveries from knock-downs, more escapes from tackles and stuns, and newly-created combo throws.

Tekken 3 was the first Tekken to feature a beat-up mini-game called Tekken Force. Tekken Force pitted the player in various stages against enemies in a side-scrolling fashion. If the player succeds in beating the whole mini-game, Dr.Bosconovitch would be a playable character. This was continued in Tekken 4 and succeeded by the "Devil Within" mini-game in Tekken 5. There is also a mini-game called Tekken Ball, similar to beach volleyball, where one has to "charge" a ball (hit the ball with a powerful attack) in order to hurt the opponent.

THIS GAME IS RATED BY ME 8.5 AS IT HAS INCREASED PLAYERS AND ITS GRAPHICS ARE ALSO VERY GOOD. BY THE TIME YOU PLAY THIS GAME YOU WILL DISCOVER THE SECRET ATTACKS AND THROWS WHICH ARE NOT MENTIONED IN GAME AND HOW TO FORGET TEKKEN BALL AND TEKKEN FORCE WHICH ARE A GOOD SOURCE OF TIME PASS IF YOU ARE NOT SUCCEEDING IN GAME.
