    It is incredible! I have not enjoyed a portable game this much since the Game Boy Advance's launch.

    A must if you want a great portable fighting game.

    Special mention going to the sound effects and music which are superb, every blow and block is recreated whilst a thumping tune plays in the background.

    Compared to the massive rendered cutscenes in "Tekken 3," Tekken Advance looks like a small-scale side story of the series, rather than a fully-fledged sequel.

    Namco may have had to cut a few corners to fit the 3D fighter onto Nintendo's handheld, but the end product looks and feels enough like the original game to succeed.

    By combining solid pixel animations with awesome scaling and rotation effects, the developers have achieved an impressive, psuedo-3D effect.

    Tekken loses out big time by not supporting the GBA's one-cartridge multiplayer feature. [Feb 2002, p.172]

    Impressive graphics and sound! Fantastic gameplay, and ten classic fighters. (Nina, Jin, Law, Paul, King, Hwoarang, Yoshimitsu, Jack, Xiaoyu, Impressive graphics and sound! Fantastic gameplay, and ten classic fighters. (Nina, Jin, Law, Paul, King, Hwoarang, Yoshimitsu, Jack, Xiaoyu, and Heihachi as a secret character). A bit short on characters and arenas, but thats just a minor flaw. If you find it, buy it.… Expand

    Stripped down version of Tekken that employs scaled sprites rather than polygonal fighters and only 2 attack buttons which makes it feel moreStripped down version of Tekken that employs scaled sprites rather than polygonal fighters and only 2 attack buttons which makes it feel more like an approximation of Tekken than the real deal. It doesn't hold a candle to the fully 3D versions but certainly a contender for the best fighting game on the Advance.… Expand

    At last, Tekken finally makes it to a handheld device, and the result is good. It has the same 3D environments as Tekken 3, and the graphicsAt last, Tekken finally makes it to a handheld device, and the result is good. It has the same 3D environments as Tekken 3, and the graphics aren't too bad for a GBA game. The main difference between this game and the console installments is the pacing. This game is noticeable slower than other Tekken games. One thing I like about Tekken Advance is that the tag team element from Tekken Tag Tournament is here. You can have a tag team of 3 characters. Overall this is a great Tekken game for the Game Boy Advance that is a good handeld fighter.… Expand
