    Тот самый фактинг, который зародил у меня любовь к файтингам с кучей приёмов, После него, любой МК это для детей.

    Tekken 3 is the best fighting game I've ever played. I'm sure some people prefer Mortal Kombat or Injustice games but for me this one will always be the best.

    The improvements over Tekken 2 are more spit and polish than real innovations which made it feel more like Tekken 2.5 at the time and therefore quite disappointing. In retrospect the improvements may be small, but they are definitely there making the third instalment the best fighter on the PS1.

    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 goodWorst fighting series ever. relies to much on clunky cheap juggle combos. Cheap gimmicky characters.

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.… Expand

    An amazing conversion, given the difference between the arcade and PlayStation hardware at the time. Set the standard for bonuses. [Feb 2003, p.97]

    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 gameplay is identical to the arcade. Every move, combo, and character has been transferred over, and a couple of new characters have been added in as well.
