Tekken 3
Reviewed by Greatest One
Tekken 3 has been ported from the arcades to the playstation
beautifully. The problem is, the game isn't that good. I am
not a fan of the Tekken series and thus wouldn't know all
the stories, but Tekken 3 seemed to have a few flaws.
But first, the good parts. As much as I don't like the game,
I still have to admire its beauty. Tekken 3 could have the
best graphics on the Playstation. In fact it looks so good,
it could be mistaken for a dreamcast game. The ending fmvs
are breathtaking too.
The ending fmvs are also one of the reasons, I didn't like
the game. Too many characters had endings that just seemed
too random. What's the point of entering a tournament and
winning, if all you are going to do is practice karate on
some hill? Or just continue a career of wrestling? Some of
them don't make sense. I liked the Mortal Kombat 4 endings
where the endings were all interlinked.
Another flaw in Tekken 3 is that it claims to be realistic
fighting. Thus, you won't see too many fireballs or other
crazy stuff. You just see pure martial arts fighting. Maybe
the realism would have been impressive if there were
realistic characters. Some of thecharacters include a panda,
a tree and a tiny crocodile. Also the main boss in the game
is a guy who flies around breathing fire. That's not
realistic.
There are two other modes other than the normal fighting
mode. In one mode, you make your way through a level
fighting bad guys till you reach the boss. It is just like a
side scrolling brawler. This mode just sucks. You can never
seem tobe able to control where your character is moving.
When you want him to go up, he goes forward. The rest is
just like the normal game. The other mode is a stupid
version of beach volleyball. If the ball touches the ground,
you get hurt. Weird.
Thus, I feel this game isn't as great as people make it out
to be.
Graphics: 9.
Can't complain here. The developers did a great job in the
least important category.
Sound: 7.
Not bad, but could have been better.
Gameplay: 3.
Fighting games are known for complex controls. But some
moves in this game are just too complex. Some require eight
button combinations to pull off one move.
Replay value: 4.
The endings don't provide much, so its not worth playing over.
Overall: 4 out of 10
If you love fighting games, play this. If you are just a
casual fan, it won't interest you.
