Bloody Roar 3

"A really mediocre fighter for the PS2"

Storyline-7/10
Well the idea of humans changing into animals did seemed cool.I really have to give them credit for it.But sadly Namco's fighters just seemed better in terms of storyline so I won't give more than 7 for it.

Graphics-9/10
The graphics acutally don't looked bad. Hey even their animal forms looked cool too. Wow this games shouldn't be too lousy or inferior. Hmn I guess the phrase looks can be deceiving does apply to this game after all.

Soundtrack/soundeffects-6/10
Well I'm always quite lenient in the soundtrack department but I do know a good music when I hear one. This one is really average okay maybe above average.

Gameplay-4/10
Firstly there is very few characters to choose from. I do not know why for a game made on the PS2 people can actually get away with so few characters.I bought this game along with Tekken Tag. You are invited to guess which game I decided not to play after 1 day of playing both of them.
There is hardly any extra modes that are worth playing. Please tell me why Tekken Tag has solo and tag mode and even a bowling game and even allows you to take photos? If this game is a first game in a series I would have forgive it but no this is their 3rd game and they still don't have extra modes to play?
Finally onto the gameplay. Its bad. Its hard to learn and I just keep losing. Okay I admit that I had been playing Tekken since Tekken 2 and actually have a great team to use in Tekken Tag. But hey even back when Tekken 2 was my first 3D fighter that I played seriously I did not job to the AI at such a frightening rate. Further more I actually owned a copy of the first bloody roar and actually liked it back then. Since I can't get a logical explanation for my jobs(losing) I decided that something must be wrong with the game system. Even Virtua fighter 4 didn't made me job so much. I use Lion and actually mastered the use of himafter weeks of training and practice but hey in bloody roar 3 I tried to find a character to use and found none that I like. Maybe its the game system or maybe its the weak character design. Since I have Tekken Tag at that time you are invited to guess where this game ended up.
Also after getting Virtua fighter 4, Tekken 4 and Soul Calibur II you can once again guess where this game ended up again.
