    Final bonus: Unlike most games of this sort, Bloody Roar 3 allows you to knock your opponent through walls instead of just into them.

    But if you want a serious butt-kicking good time, then this game Roars.

    This overall sense of quality, its accessibility to all levels of player, and the simple, visceral thrill of using a were-lion to maul a bunny rabbit in an abandoned museum, transforms BR3 an animal that is more than just the sum of its parts.

    Lacking in some story elements, BR3 is nonetheless a good addition to any collection, one that I can easily recommend.

    Those seeking a new challenge to rival "Tekken Tag" should steer clear, but for fans of the series and players just looking for a quick fix of frenzied and fantastical fighting should sign up now.

    Newcomers will be pleased, but for rabid fans, this is a mute Roar.

    The animal changes are more than a simple gimmick, but it alone cannot provide the level of depth BR3 needs if it wants to be a real contender.

    So it's not as pretty as "DOA2," and probably doesn't play quite as well as either that game or "Tekken Tag," and there's not much strategy in the game either, but hey, if you're looking for a game that will let you literally rip your opponent to shreds, this is the one.
  10. IGN

    Where it fails as a fighting game (which is not to call it a failure in any general sense -- it's definitely a well-made fighter), it bounces back on the strength of its personality and unique visual presentation.
  11. GamerWeb Sony

    Weak story mode and ear damaging sound are the only minuses in the game, but these can be considered major categories.

    I'm a bloody roar fan from the ps1, and the ps2 version is quite satisfying, even though the beast model is cooler on the ps1
