Soon after, various martial arts masters begin disappearing from all over the world, and Heihachi is convinced that this is Ogre's doing. He seeks to capture Ogre to use him for this goal. After seeing the Ogre character, Heihachi's long dormant dream of world domination is reawakened. Heihachi and a team of soldiers investigate, with Heihachi managing to catch a glimpse of the culprit. The only surviving soldier manages to relay a brief message to Heihachi, describing the perpetrator as an 'Ogre' or a 'Fighting God'. However, while on an excavation in Mexico, a squadron of Heihachi's Tekken Force is attacked and vanquished by a mysterious being. Using the company's influence, Heihachi is responsible for many events that have ultimately led to world peace. Heihachi Mishima, meanwhile, has established the Tekken Force, an organization dedicated to the protection of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Set fifteen years after the King of the Iron Fist Tournament 2, the story starts with Jun Kazama, who has been living a quiet life in Yakushima with her young son, Jin, who is the son of Kazuya Mishima. When you finish it a certain amount of times, a special character is introduced and unlocked. It contains four levels and after you complete them, you are given a counter. New to the series is the Tekken Force mode - a Final Fight inspired side-scrolling action game. The arcade version is simply that and the team battle mode allows you or a friend to choose a team of fighters and go into battle one by one. Players are given quite a few options of gameplay styles to choose from: Arcade, Versus, Team Battle, Time Attack, Tekken Force, Practice and a hidden Beach Ball mode (a competition to see who can keep the ball from touching the sand).

To help players get used to controlling the game, each fighter's move list can be accessed at any time via a pause menu. They consist of throws (for up close battle), punches and jabs, and kicks (both aerial and on the ground). Their story is represented by various intro and ending cinematic sequences.Īs in the previous Tekken titles, each character has an abundance of moves he or she can perform. At first, you have 10 fighters to choose from but as you complete the individual story/arcade modes, you will unlock that person's counterpart. Each of the 20-plus characters features a different style (Kung Fu, Capoeira), some of which must be mastered before using adequately. Tekken 3's fighting styles range from street fighting to beautiful ancient oriental fighting styles. The trick was to pull off a conversion to fit with the console's architecture and technology, and they did just that. It is a step better than Namco's System 11 board, which is nearly identical to the PlayStation. Converted from the arcade to the PlayStation, Tekken 3 ran on the technology called the System 12 board. Tekken 3 is the third installment of Namco's premier 3D fighting game franchise.
