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

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

    Scratch beneath the glossy visuals and you’ll reveal an uncomplicated affair that’s fun to play but may not appease the fighting purists.

    I've come to the conclusion that if there is even a glimpse of something with even the tiniest bit of fur on it, peeps will flock to it in droves, and it's to this I also attribute the success of "Basic Instinct."...BR3 is best left to the novice.

    Bloody roar 3 is a master piece and it is has its own originals. my favorited character is shenlongThe only disapoint in br3 is shenlong acts like wimp.But i reccomend shenlong on br2 & br4. And the best place to hang out is the BEAST LEGACY this you will feel this game.… Expand

    I can't find a thing this game lacks really. I mean, its a fighting game! so f**k up about any story-line. The fact this game tries to concentrate on the fighting instead of pulling stupid graphical or award winning sound effects is what I luv about this game. All I think this game needs when BR4 comes out is a tag feature! Then it'd be the best fighting game since the very first VF!… Expand

    I've been a diehard fan of the series since the first (I still keep BR1, 2 & 3 in mint condition), and BR3 is definitely the best so far, but I couldn't give it a 10 even though I wanted to. I felt obligated to deduct a point for not having as cool a story mode as BR2, STILL not bring back Greg the gorrilla, Mitsuko the boar or Fox the fox (guy or girl, you be the judge) from BR1 glory, and a point for the cheesy voices (SHUT UP Shenlong!!!!). However, I added a point for bringing back the awesomeness of the original Bakaryu as a kick-ass cyber-mole known as Kohryu. All in all the series remains as good as ever, still the best fighter around. Now I only have to get a Gamecube so I can buy BR: Primal Fury.… Expand

    Any longtime fans of the series reading this? Do yourselves a favor and do NOT pick this one up. This would have been a good game if it was the first in the series. Any attempt of making a coherent plot was apparently tossed out the window to make room for the pretty graphics. Not only was the story mode removed (I'm still dumbfounded by the complete idiocy of that), but in it's place is a confusing jaunt about a magical stone and a race of beings called the Unborn. It had potential to be good, but it was obviously strung together at the last minute. The fact that the two secret characters don't even HAVE stories at all is supporting evidence of that. The only saving grace here is that it's one of the fastest paced fighting games on the market, and that's saying a lot. It might warrant a purchase to newbies of the series, but the diehard fans of the series will definitely want to rent this one first.… Expand
