Tekken 3 is the third game in the Tekken series. It is perhaps the most popular game in the Tekken series, getting perfect or near perfect scores on many gaming websites.

[edit] Gameplay

The gameplay in Tekken 3 is faster than the gameplay in the two previous Tekken games. Unlike the previous games, characters can now recover quicker when being knocked down. Each character can now also sidestep, whereas in the previous games, sidestepping could only be used as a part of a certain move. Tekken 3 adds in even more moves for each character than Tekken 2.

Tekken 3 brings in a couple side-games, including Tekken Force and Tekken Ball, both of which need to be unlocked.
