    This game is awesome. Released in 1998 and still better than the most 1x1 fighting games I've been playing since than. Getting a new Fighter for each time that you finish the arcade with a different character and getting a new final video, with awesome graphics (comparing with other PS1 games) everytime you finish it gave me the will to replay it several times. Incredible gameplay.

    it's a shame we can't get it through PSN like the first 2 entries although it would make good money to the company

The cutscenes were an unforgettable touch. The models look great, especially for a PS1 game, the environments are rich and diverse. You can't really spam one move and win (which is why I find it hundreds of times better than other fighter games), there's a lot of combo potential. By playing with your friend, you'll probably learn a new move, unless you've already mastered all of the 100+ moves your character has. There isn't really a best character, because Every character can defeat and be defeated by any other, again, why I favour this game. My personal favourite is Lei Wulong, for all the 5 forms he has. This has got to be one of the best fighters that have ever existed, topped only by Tekken 5 or Soul Calibur (also by Namco).… Expand

    I can not stress on how amazing this game is. For a PS1 game, this was easily in the Top 5 games of all time back then. Tekken 3 still remains the best in the franchise next to Tekken 5. For some odd reason, Namco decided to go multiplatform outside of the PlayStation brand. Ever since that, Tekken hasn't been very good. Hopefully they will return back home where they belong.

    This game is one of the best fighting games out there and is unique from others because of it's 3d style where you can move to the left or right and not just forward and back. It is also the final and best Tekken there is, the newer ones just have better graphics and more game modes.

    The graphics were a huge improvement over the polygon, block look of the previous games. They would become much smoother, stylized, crisp and realistic as the series would continue on. The music is perfect. I love the arcade version soundtrack. The console version soundtrack is amazing but nowhere near iconic as the arcade version. The sound effects are and still so badass like the battle cries, punches, kicks and deathcries. The new characters to the game and series were pretty cool. I loved the stage design.

    The gameplay was more refined in terms of juggling, combos and damage balancing. It introduced the evade/sidestep, the left/right side body throws and ukemi mechanics. It also gave us Tekken Force and Tekken Ball mode.

    The only flaw the game had was the poor bonus characters (Dr Boskonvitch and Gon) with their awful movesets and the lackluster mini game modes.

    This game is still being bought to this day. It has sold 9 million copies because it's so fun and addictive and it broke the mold for fighting games to come.

    Legendary and revolutionary fighter. Yeah, I know that there were Tekken 1 and 2 before, but Tekken 3 was something else. The graphics, the music, the characters, the movesets, the game modes, the movies. It pushed PS1 to it's limits. I dare to say that there is no better Tekken game to this day.

The game, in terms of story, starts off after the events of Tekken 2 nineteen years later where Heihachi Mishima had reassumed control of the Mishima Zaibatsu and forms a organization to protect the Mishima Zaibatsu known as the Tekken Force. A team from this organization is sent to excavate for an ancient temple in Mexico. But when Heihachi arrives later on, he learns that his team had met their demise by the hands of a creature known simply as Ogre. Heihachi then wishes to capture this creature by all means necessary. That's when the new hero comes in. Enter Jin Kazama. The grandson of Heihachi who trains under him to be strong against Ogre due to his personal vendetta against the beast. Which just so happens to be the death of his mother by Ogre's hands. After all the training, Jin is ready to take on Ogre in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3. With the story getting out of the way, what else does the game offer? The game is much faster paced than it's predecessors but that's what made this game stand out from it's competitors. The fighting looked more fluid, it became less robotic, and there wasn't any delays trying to get up fast enough from receiving more damage. This title also reintroduces classic characters like; Paul Phoenix, Lei Wulong, Nina Williams, and Yoshimitsu. Likewise, it introduces new ones like; Jin Kazama, Ling Xiaoyu, Eddy Gordo, and more! Most that have become well known characters throughout the franchise, started here. This game also had a killer soundtrack, as do every other title that came before and after, that fit it's backgrounds very well for each of the characters. You can also unlock new characters for each time you complete the arcade mode for each character you choose. Unlike the previous two installments, when you unlock new characters, they aren't specific characters that you unlock with specific fighters. They simply pop up as one of the fighters you face before you face the sub boss. The game also has a new mode called Tekken Force. It's a beat em' up mixed with the fighting game elements Tekken 3 uses. This sort of idea is incorporated with it's successors even today. It's a fun mode to challenge yourself in ad you can even unlock a new character with it that I didn't know was possible to unlock. Overall, this is an excellent title that holds up even with today's standards and is a breath of fresh air compared to the rereleases of Street Fighter 4. I strongly recommend it. You owe it to yourself to play it through PSN, your Playstation 2, or your original Playstation. It's on the cheap and a definite good time for your and friends to enjoy. Thanks for reading my review. Have a good one!… Expand

    "Tekken 3" is arguably the best fighting game on the original PlayStation. At the time of release, it impressed everyone with superb graphics, fluid animation and smooth controls. The diverse selection of fighters were easy to control, yet hard to master. Highly enjoyable, this second sequel was the peak of the series. I'd rate it with a 9.3 out of 10.

    Para mí, el único digo sucesor del legendario Street Fighter II. Calidad de personajes, jugabilidad, música, gráficos, modos de juego... Un juego perfecto.

    Released in 1998, this is a game ahead of its time and still fun to play even today, aged very well. Prompt commands, awesome characters and nostalgic feel to it, overall one of the best fighting games of all time.

    Sauron's forces have laid siege to Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, in their efforts to eliminate the race of men. The once-great kingdom, watched over by a fading steward, has never been in more desperate need of its king. But can Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) answer the call of his heritage and become what he was born to be? In no small

    One of the best fighting games of all time. You can feel the character, the dynamics and balance are great. The music rocks and works for the atmosphere. The graphics are outdated, but the gameplay makes up for it.

    I never owned this game until very late. I always played at my cousin's house. It's one of those games that at the time, seemed too good to be true to me. I couldn't believe how good it looked and played. Amazing OST and awesome characters.

    Tekken 3 seriously needs either remaster or even better, remake! They need to bring this series back, Tekken 7 is just boring.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My favorite entry in the Tekken series with a lot of memories.

    I loved Tekken 3 and still think it is the best installment in the series. Although it is, yet again, the same principle as the first two games, the new character roster and improvements made it just perfect.

    In Tekken 3, the masters at Namco expanded the story yet again. Fifteen years after the last King of Iron Fist Tournament, Heihachi, still the leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu established his own personal paramilitary army called Tekken Force. His actions and various events, with the aid of the Tekken Force, ultimately lead to world peace. He then learns of an ancient temple in Mexico, which is the home of a mysterious and ancient fighter called Ogre.

    Jun Kazama, mother of Jin Kazama lives a peacefull live but senses that she has become a target for Ogre. She wants Jin to seek out his granddaddy Heihachi in order to keep him safe from harm. Ogre attacks the Kazama household eventually and Jin tries to defend it and his mother. He gets wacked and wakes up, seeing his home in ruins and his mother missing, presumably dead. Driven by revenge, he is confronted, marked and ultimately, possessed by the Devil himself (a little family trait). He seeks out Heihachi and begs him to train him so he can become strong enough to face Ogre. Heihachi accepts and takes care of Jin. Four years later, Jin is now nineteen and a master in karate. Heihachi organizes the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, in which he secretly uses Jin and his buddies to lure Ogre out of his hiding place.

    Once again, the big star here is Paul Phoenix. He participates, wipes the floor with everyone, including Jin and enters a large temple in which he faces Ogre. He beats the sh!t out of Ogre and thinks he is the champion. Then, Ogre reveals his true form called “True Ogre” and the fight starts again. Paul, again, beats the living hell out of him and wins the tournament, avenging Jun Kazama in the process. Moments later, Jin Kazama is gunned down by Tekken Force because Heihachi does not need him anymore. Heihachi himself pulls the final shot in Jin’s head, but instead of dying, the Devil inside Jin takes over, killing all the soldiers and yeets Heihachi trough the temple wall. Jin then transforms into his devil form with black wings and some sort of crystal thingy on his forehead and flies away, looking down and seeing that Heihachi survived the fall.

    This story is even darker than the previous games and more epic than ever. I also liked that all three games so far see Jin and Kazuya as the big stars, while in reality, Paul Phoenix is the one that beated everyone so far, including Jin, a big Ogre monster and even Heihachi himself.

    In Tekken 3, the mechanics and gameplay are the same as the first two games, with some tweaks. You got the arcade mode in which you fight your way through the final boss Ogre and his final form. You also got the new Survival mode and Time Attack mode from Tekken 2. Additionally, you get the new “Tekken Force” mini game, in which you defeat opponents in a side scrolling fashion. You also got the new (and a little unnecessary) mode called Tekken Ball. In which you play volleyball with Tekken characters.

    Tekken 3 introduces a whole new roster of characters, respecting the fact that the game takes place twenty years after the events of Tekken 2. Six characters from the previous game are present, the rest is completely new. This gives the game a unique new feeling and let you experience a completely new cast.

    The mechanics have been greatly improved in Tekken 3. Jumping is now more realistic (instead of the moon jumps that avoided any damage from the previous games), you recover faster when lying on the ground, more chance to escape from grapples and stuns and the introduction of many new juggle-like combos and attacks.

    Once again, the graphics received a big upgrade from the previous games.
    Especially the punch effects and damage clouds are greatly improved. The sound design also received some more love and sound amazing.

    The controls and combo’s feel a lot more responsive in Tekken 3. It is the start for the fluent controls that were carried over to the next generation of Tekken games.

    In the end, Tekken 3 deserves its title as one of the greatest videogames of its kind and is a worthy successor to the previous games.    … 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.
