Tekken 3

If you want to pick a fight, why not battle with the best of 'em? [Mar 02, p.34]

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 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.

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?

Phenomenal fighting game and the best fighting game ever made, great balance between graphics and mechanics, amazing outfits and music, even to this day, it doesn't get better than Tekken 3.

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.

No veo nada fuera de lo común con esta entrega.

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.
