Tekken 3 is the third installment in the popular Tekken fighting game series. It was released for Arcades in March 1997, and for the PlayStation in mid-1998. The original Arcade versionof the game was released in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 as part of Tekken 5's Arcade History mode. Tekken 3 is still widely considered one of the greatest games of its genre.
It was the first game released on Namco System 12 hardware (an improvement to the original two Tekken games, which used System 11). It was also the last installment of the series for the PlayStation.
Gameplay
Tekken 3 maintains
the same core fighting system and concept as its predecessors, but
brings many improvements, such as significantly more detailed graphics and animations, fifteen new characters added to the game's roster, more modern music and faster and more fluid gameplay.
Perhaps the most noticeable change from Tekken 2 fight system is movement reform - whereas the element of depth had been largely insignificant in previous Tekken games (aside from some characters having unique sidesteps and dodging maneuvers), Tekken 3added
emphasis on the third axis, allowing all characters to sidestep in or
out of the background by lightly pressing the arcade stick (or tapping
the controller button in the console version) towards the corresponding
direction. Another big change in movement was that jumping was toned
down, no longer allowing fighters to jump to extreme heights (as was
present in previous games), but keeping leaps to reasonable, realistic
heights. It made air combat more controllable, and put more use to
sidestep dodges, as jumping no longer became a universal dodge move that
was flying above all of the ground moves. Other than that, the improved
engine allowed for quick recoveries from knock-downs, more escapes from
tackles and stuns, better juggling (as many old moves had changed
parameters, allowing them to connect in combo-situations, where they
wouldn't connect in previous games) and extra newly-created combo
throws.
Tekken 3 was the first Tekken to feature a beat 'em up Streets of Rage style minigamecalled Tekken Force,
which pitted the player in various stages against enemies in a
side-scrolling fashion. If the player succeeds in beating the minigame
four times, Dr. Bosconovitch would be a playable character (granted that
you defeat him first). This was continued in Tekken 4 and succeeded by the Devil Within minigame in Tekken 5 - but Boskonovitch was dropped as a playable character after Tekken 3. There is also a minigame called Tekken Ball, similar to beach volleyball,
where one has to either "charge" a ball (hit the ball with a powerful
attack) to hurt the opponent or try to hit the ball in such a way that
it hits the ground in the opponent's area, thus causing damage.
Story
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. She takes care of him,
trying to leave him out of the world of the Mishima Zaibatsu
Corporation.
Heihachi
Mishima, meanwhile, has established the Tekken Force, an organization
dedicated to the protection of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Using the company's
influence, Heihachi is responsible for many events that have ultimately
led to world peace. However, while on an excavation in Mexico, a
squadron of Heihachi's Tekken Force is attacked and vanquished by a
mysterious being. The only surviving soldier manages to relay a brief
message to Heihachi, describing the perpetrator as an "Ogre" or a
"Fighting God". Heihachi and a team of soldiers investigate, with
Heihachi managing to catch a glimpse of the culprit. After seeing the
Ogre character, Heihachi's long dormant dream of world domination is
reawakened. He seeks to capture Ogre to use him for this goal.
Soon
after, various martial arts masters begin disappearing from all over
the world, and Heihachi is convinced that this is Ogre's doing. In
Yakushima, Jun starts to feel the presence of Ogre approaching her and
Jin. Knowing that she has become a target, Jun tells Jin about Ogre, and
instructs him to go straight to Heihachi should anything happen.
Sometime after Jin's fifteenth birthday, Ogre does indeed attack.
Against Jun's wishes, Jin valiantly tries to fight Ogre off, but Ogre
brushes him aside and knocks him unconscious. When Jin reawakens, he
finds that the house has been burned to the ground, and that his mother
is missing and most likely dead.
Driven
by revenge, Jin goes to Heihachi and tells him everything. Jin begs
Heihachi to train him to become strong enough to face Ogre again.
Heihachi accepts and takes Jin in as well as going to Mishima High
School where he befriends Ling Xiaoyu and her pet panda and bodyguard
(aptly named "Panda"). They become good friends.
Four
years later, Jin grows into an impressive fighter and master of Mishima
Style Karate. On Jin's nineteenth birthday, the King of the Iron Fist
Tournament 3 is announced, and Jin prepares for his upcoming battle
against Ogre. He is unaware, however, that Heihachi is merely using him
and the rest of the competitors as bait to lure Ogre out in order to
capture him. Meanwhile Ogre captures assassin Nina Williams (who was
recently taken out of her "cold sleep"), puts her under his spell,and
sends her to enter the tournament and kill Jin. Jin manages to free Nina
from Ogre's spell before continuing on the semi-finals.
Eventually,
the tournament leads to the final confrontation between Jin and the God
of Fighting. Ogre is able to transform into a much more powerful "true"
form, known to the players as "True Ogre". Jin emerges the victor and
Ogre completely dissolves. Moments later, Jin is gunned down by a
squadron of Tekken Forces led by Heihachi, who, no longer needing Jin,
finishes the job personally by firing a final shot into his grandson's
head.
However,
Jin, revived by the Devil Gene within him (because after Jin's mother
had gone missing following an attack from Ogre, Devil returned, branded
Jin's left arm with a mark, possessing him), reawakens and makes quick
work of the soldiers, turning his attention to Heihachi and literally
smashing him through the wall of the temple. Heihachi survives the long
fall, but Jin, in mid-air, sprouts black, feathery wings and strikes
Heihachi one last time. He then flies off into the night, leaving his
bewildered grandfather staring after him.
