4.0 out of 5 stars 3D game, simple play control, 9 fighters, no movies, secrets, February 26, 2002

This review is from: Tekken (Video Game)

This game is a 3D fighting game based around Tekken 3, with 9 playable fighters (Xiaoyu, Yoshimitsu, Nina, Law, Gun Jack, Hwoarang, Paul, King and Jin). With the Playstation version of this fighting game, for each character you beat the game with, it will play a movie and you will earn a new playable fighter, however, it is not like this in the Gameboy Advance version. When you beat the game, the credits roll and that is it, you do not get any specialized ending nor an extra playable fighter. Also, Heihachi is the leader of the game, and not Ogre like in Tekken 3 (Heihachi may also be unlocked if you beat the game with all 9 fighters). This is a true 3D fighting game, unlike Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat games, with Tekken Advance the camera will zoom in and out of the battle as you fight, also the fighter can move to a different angle to avoid attacks. The buttons are very simple, having only a kick button (A), a punch button (B) and a "close attack" button (R). With Tekken the "close attack" would usually grapple your opponent and do a devastating move, with Tekken Advance it performs a specific combo, like a few punches or kicks. Another great thing about this game are the modes of play, such as arcade, verses battle (for two players), time attack, survival, practice, and even an incredible tag battle mode, where you select 3 fighters, then the computer will pit you against 3 random opponents. You can even tag out by pressing select to your different partners! The game even keeps track of the energy. All this being said, the game has great graphics, sound a unique 3D feel, but not enough players or diversity to hold your interest more than a few months.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great on the run, also around the house, April 1, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Tekken (Video Game)

'Tekken Advance' is a great (and one of the best) handheld fighting games around. The controls are simple and the moves are awesome. My favorite character is Hwoarang because of his kicking combonations and special attacks. Anyway, if you are looking for a good fighting game on GBA and you have already tried the 'Street Fighter' series, 'Tekken Advance' is a great choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars TEKKEN for ADVANCE!!, June 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Tekken (Video Game)

Don't let some bad review trick you.I've known Tekken since it first came out on playstation.I have all of the Tekken games except Tekken Tag because I don't own a PS2.I have Gamecube,Genisus,PSOne,Gameboy Color,and GBA. The graphics on this game are almost as good as Tekken1 for playstation. How do I know?Because I got it for my birthday about 4 months ago.I beat it with Hworang,he rules,I get perfects almost every time,I never die with him either.Tekken Advance is just like Tekken3 but handheld and less characters.Another thing you can use the GBA cable link and fight a friend,you can invite a bunch of friends over and have a Tekken Tournament!
