Ah tekken 3 a

classic fighting game released in 1997,and it's still my favorite

tekken game of the series.I mean sure graphically and sound effect wise

the newer tekken games are better,but Tekken 3 and the older games have

rather a more unique style to the tracks of it. only thing that kind of

bites about tekken 3 was you couldn't take it on the go back then,and

the psp didn't exactly get tekken 3 as it got the newer games. So Namco

and the Nintendo gameboy advance came up with the answer and that this

big bad boy tekken advanced for the game boy advance. finally a solution

to your troubles wanting to play some tekken 3 while on your break at

work or just lay in bed. well first of all this game is not just like

tekken 3 its also like tekken tag tournament,as if Namco took both of

their classics and made them into one game. anyways with enough said

lets start off the review.



Graphics.to be fair its not as great

tekken 3 or other tekken games at all,because the actual graphics of the

game is rather seem like a squished out model of tekken 3 features and

tekken tag tournament sprites. Sprites: there is a total of 8 fighters

that being.Ling Xiaoyu,Yoshimitsu,Forest

law,Gun Jack, Hwoarang,Jin Kazama, Paul Phoenix, Nina Williams,King and

Heihachi Mishima who is only playable by being unlocked in the

game.again as I said they really look small and missing quite some

details,but the characters are really still pretty nice looking at least

there represented fairly well.some people say ugh the sprites look bad

compared to tekken 3/tagtournament that may be true in that

statement,but compared to other games on the gba they look pretty good

and represented greatly compared to their counter parts. animation the

animation Is greatly close as all fighters have most of their standard

fighting pose's and move sets without any parts missing making it feel

not choppy or not complete. Stages: pretty well represented because of

how well they look compared to their tekken 3 counterparts. however some

stages got recolored to fit on the cartridge Hwoarang's stage in the

game is an example as it's just a recolor of  Forest laws stage. but

it's still understandable. Graphics rating 8 out of 10


Sound:


The number of sound effects in this game is equally good as tekken 3 and

tekken tag tournament. as most of your announcer sound effects punching

bashing kicking and combo sounds along with voice samples are nearly

perfect and clear. Soundtrack  almost the same thing as the arranged and

arcade version of the token 3 soundtrack. Well the character select

theme is based on the ps1 version of tekken 3. most other songs or

tracks are rather based on the original arcade soundtrack they still

sound amazing and great here. Although some tracks like Hwoarangs stage

got switched with another theme same with Paul Phoenix. Sound rating 10

out of 10 although some songs got alerted most of the stuff in sound

compartment is very accurate and well done.

Addictiveness and

replayblity the tekken franchise or series was fun and popular because you controlled each character in a 3d

. the entire tekken franchise or series as you may call it

was controlling a lot of characters in a 3d polygon base. and figure out a bunch of combos and powerful moves that

always sometimes gave you advantages over each character but it depends

who  is against who because some characters work better then others in

the franchise. In tekken advance its nearly the same although it has a

side step feature. the game is still fun. addictiveness rating 8 for

this port.

Story: leaving it blank because I didn't find no story at all.

Depth.

The gameboy advanced version of tekken 3 offers so many features some

that wasn't even in the ps1 port of the game. Here is a list of the

modes and their descriptions.Tag mode you basically go through arcade

mode like in tekken tag tournament. So you pick 3 characters 1 that will

be the first guy fighting and 2 other fighters to come in for a

tag.Practice mode: basically just a place where you select a character. 1

for the character you wanna practice and master special moves and

combos with. 2nd for the computer/training dummy. this mode comes very

handy if you are new to the game or franchise.Survival another mode

where you go 1 on 1 with characters but this time you have to do it on 1

life bar. each little bit of damage will get healed after you win each

fight. mutilplayer works only with the cable or wireless adapter that

you can get with a gba. note this will only work for an actual gba

system. The game has some good amount of features and stuff. Depth

rating 9 out of 10


Difficulty: the game is not that hard at all you have some difficulty

options. but in general I just don't have all that much trouble with the

ai. but that's because I've played harder fighters. Difficulty rating 5

controls work just fine here

Overall this port of tekken 3 is great very fun easy to play overall rating 9.7

This is a good review, but there was a pretty big issue with the spacing here (I assume it was a notepad type process). It kind of made an otherwise good review a little difficult to follow. And you might want to proofread next time. That said, I'm not ridiculing you. Far from it. You got your position, and that doesn't happen because you can't write a good review. lol You do write very well thought out reviews, and this one was no exception. Nice work.

Eirinn : I didn't do that it was a coding bug with my layout. even when i edited the review it still turned out like that for some reason

Oh ok. Sorry about that then. Keep up the good work on writing those reviews man.
