An amazing conversion, given the difference between the arcade and PlayStation hardware at the time. Set the standard for bonuses. [Feb 2003, p.97]

I'd come off as a huge hypocrite if I didn't put Tekken 3 at the top of the list. "Tekken 2" was a 10, and Tekken 3 is a better game in most respects.

The gameplay is identical to the arcade. Every move, combo, and character has been transferred over, and a couple of new characters have been added in as well.

Um dos jogos de luta mais revolucionários de sua época conseguiu criar uma lore mais que interessante, aprimorando o universo criado anteriormente pela franquia, com um fator gameplay que melhorou absurdamente do lançamento do jogo antecessor do mesmo, capaz de ser muito divertido até os dias de hoje, não se tornando obsoleto como um jogo ultrapassado. Seus personagens mostram um elenco amável e extremamente carismáticos, carregando sua essência de uma forma muito natural que torna a experiência do jogo infinitamente melhor. Sinceramente, tem seus erros pela época e cultura antiga que jogos arcade seguiam para lucrar em cima de desafios imensamente grandes e um torneio rápido o suficiente para fazer jogadores repetidamente terem que colocar moedas em suas máquinas para sempre chegarem rápido nos níveis finais de sua fase e perderem pra uma IA feita para ser muito punitiva. Deixa a desejar em modos de jogos, uma extensão da jogabilidade e etc... Mas justamente pelas limitações de sua época eu e mais milhões de jogadores passam pano e tornam esse o melhor jogo de luta já criado na história. - Lil Esteregg or Spoiler -

Quite possible the best Tekken game of all time .
10/10 would play for Tekken bowling alone.
This is the 1st appearance of a few fan favorites.

The spectacular sequel that confirmed the hatred gamers felt for Paul. [Jan 2004, p.189]

A thoroughbred that out-strikes the opposition as if it were high on steroids. Put bluntly, we're not gonna get a better beat-'em-up. Tekken 3 is a killer app that is close to perfection.
93
The only gripe that we'd have with it is that Namco's set the bar so high that we shudder with anticipation and dread over what the designers'll have to do to top this.

While the backgrounds are 2D, they are rich and diverse and those spot explosions, though pixilated, feature high quality light sourcing.

The best fighter for any console system. What else needs to be said?

Tekken 3 - The best PS1 3D fighter
This game introduced me to fighting games along with MVC1, the game has pretty good content having your standard arcade, versus, survival, team battle, arcade endings , Tekken force mode and even a music player. Pros:
- Good fighting system
- Good amount of content and characters
- Amazing music
- Good graphics for PS1
- Near perfect Cons:
- AI can be bad I guess Honestly it's a perfect fighter, little to no flaws. A great introduction to fighting games for all ages.

A poorly understandable story, an easy final boss, good mobility, not bad graphics, some characters are more difficult to defeat than the final boss itself

It was one of the best fighting games of its time. It's not that good nowadays, but you can still have a very enjoyable time.

Worst fighting series ever. relies to much on clunky cheap juggle combos. Cheap gimmicky characters. Choppy sorry deformed animations, ugly flickering jaggy polygons with low res textures. clumsy 4 button system that creats the illusion of depth but a punch is a punch unless one is a power hand and a jab hand. Gimmicky goofy characters. Soul Caliber on Dreamcast was Namcos only good fighter. Tekken is and always was just hype. Sony paid for good reviews because they knew that if people found out that VF is superior in every way the saturn might gain some ground. Good thing Sony owned media companies like Viacom which owned media outlets and the defunct blockbuster. Do yourself a favor Play Virtua Fighter 2 and you will see that tekken 123 are trash hype nothing more than a studio pop singer.
SummaryAn ancient evil force has reawakened, attacking in secret and feeding on the souls of mighty warriors. To lure it out of hiding will take the greatest fighting contest the world has ever seen...Tekken 3. Some are fighting for revenge, some for honor, Ultimately, all are fighting for their lives and the fate of all mankind.
