Tekken 3

Tekken 3 is the third installment in the Tekken series, it is the sequel to Tekken 2, it was released for arcades in 1997 and for the PlayStation in 1998, it was also the last Tekken game released for the PlayStation.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) High quality cutscenes that are still great even today.
 * 2) Graphics have greatly improved over the last 2 games, it's even better than lots of PS2 games and didn't look too blocky.
 * 3) While lots of characters are gone from this game, lots of new characters replace the old characters and take their fighting style, making it better for this who liked the older characters.
 * 4) Awesome soundtrack, which drew influence from electronic music and hip-hop.
 * 5) *Like the previous 2 games, the PS1 version features complete remixes for all stages, which is just as good if not better than the arcade version.
 * 6) Great story for all characters, that ranges between dark and funny.
 * 7) Introducing Tekken Force, a beat-em up mode where you keep fighting Heihachi's henchmen while progressing, beating it 4 times gives you a key to unlock the secret fight with Dr. Boskonovitch and a chance to unlocking him as a reward (single player only).
 * 8) Introducing awesome characters like Jin Kazama, Hwoarang and Eddy Gordo, easy to use characters and one of the best fighters in gaming history.
 * 9) A new practice mode where you can practice with whatever character you want to learn how to fight with your favorite character.
 * 10) A new mode called Tekken Ball, where you play volley ball with other characters, beating it for the first time unlocks a special character, Gon. You can also play it with CPU or with a friend, the point of this mode is to hit your opponent with the ball instead of the normal attacks.
 * 11) Introducing theater mode, you can listen to the game's OST and watch the game's endings and openings without waiting or replaying with a character again, as long as you defeated arcade mode with that character (you need to beat arcade mode with all characters unlocked from the start at first to unlock it).
 * 12) You can unlock Tekken 1 and 2 's cutscenes in the Theater Mode if you have a Tekken 1 and/or 2 save file
 * 13) Some characters have more than 1 alternate costume, which is cool.
 * 14) Several new gameplay mechanic were introduce, including sidesteps and wavedash.
 * 15) * This was also the first game to have Electric Wind God Fist (or EWGF for short).
 * 16) The delayed controls from the first and second games were removed, Which will vastly improved the gameplay and make veteran players of the game, much more skilled and allowed newbies to the franchise to get competent in this release.
 * 17) The PlayStation Version has 2 characters not found in the arcade version, one is Doctor Boskonovitch the other is Gon from the manga of the same name, making him the first guest character as well as first time Gon appears in the west.
 * 18) Some versions of the game, probably the US and JAP versions let you hear the music credits from the game if you put it on a normal CD player.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The wavedash, while innovative, is only for Mishima's. Making veteran players of the Mishima's Family to have an extreme advantage and made the game insanely unfair to every other player but the Mishima's.
 * 2) Tekken Force controls aren't easy.
 * 3) Some characters have the same endings as others, such as Doctor B. having the same ending as Yoshimitsu.
