The fighting game for every gamer

I personally have never been a huge fan of fighting games. Yeah, I would rent them and play them, but by the time the rental was up, I was ready to take it back. Tekken 3 is different.

Tekken 3's strongest trait is that it is quite a long game, if you make it that way. You have to beat the game with every normal character to get the "secret" characters, then beat it with all of them to get each of their winning videos. The characters range from fast but weak to slow but brutally strong. There are many fighting styles represented, such as Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Juijitsu, Capeiro, and many hybrid styles. From this there are many, many different combos, all spectacular in execution. I could talk about the characters and moves for pages, just suffice it to say you will spend a long time finding the different intricacies of each character.

There are also a few different modes not common to other fighting games, such as a volley-ball type game and a clone of the classic 2D scrolling fighting games. While not incredibly innovative, the different modes of gameplay lengthen the amount of time it takes to "master" the game, but all in all you can have most of the secret characters and movies within a week if you play a couple hours a day.

I called this game the fighting game for every gamer in the title just because of the pure expanse of the game. If you are an action gamer, you will like the fighting and force mode of gameplay. If you are into FMV, you will find quite a bit of it in the theater. If you are into finding every little secret of a game, this one will keep you occupied forever.

All in all, Tekken 3 is a great game that I think most people will enjoy to some extent. Like I said, I personally have never been a huge fan of fighting games. The best way to put it is that this game is just fun. I recommend that everyone at least try it at some time.
