For each starter character that you complete the game with, you unlock a new fighter. Then wash, rinse and repeat with different characters. The fights go by quick, in only about 20 seconds, so you can plow through the game in around 20 minutes. Each character’s movie unravels part of a mystery (as to why your even playing the game).Īs a fighter, its pretty easy and I can’t say that you need experience or skill to get through the game against the computer. These endings are such a high point that in my mind it becomes the point of Tekken 3. These endings are always a high point of the game and there’s one for each character. When you begin arcade mode, you select a character and when you beat the game, you’re rewarded with a cinematic ending. Pressing the two punches or two kicks simultaneously results in a grapple, throw or takedown. You have two punch buttons, two kick buttons, up is to jump, down is to crouch. What makes Tekken different from other fighting games are the moves, smooth animations and its control simplicity.
For those of you who have not played the Tekken game series, it is a 3D 1-on-1 arcade fighter.
