I have a love/hate relationship with this game. There's plenty of stuff I do like about it. But there's also major problems I always had with the game. I always liked the cover myself since Sweet Tooth my favorite Twisted Metal character. The soundtrack can differ in people's taste. I do like some Rob Zombie songs gotten into the game. Usually they don't use licensed music in Twisted Metal games. Sadly it's virtually the same plot as Twisted Metal 2 in a nut shell. Calypso wants to extend the competition to the world. They even brought back the same voice actor to reprise the role. Speaking of Calypso, every ending is borderline terrible. The stages just felt unbalanced as a whole. Plus having some of them with stuff to destroy to stop respawning opponents doesn't help things. They even made both Sweet Tooth and Minion hidden characters once again. Geez I wondered which TM game done that before coughs TM2. The new engine with the physics just doesn't work well. Twisted Metal 4 ended up being a much better usage of the same engine. I do like the intro especially one of the best aspects of the game. It's a bit weird from Twisted Metal 2 to 4. The franchise released games right on Halloween. Which I do like being a huge fan of Halloween the holiday for a long time. To me playing TM III felt like a bad TM 2 port. Maybe that's a bit harsh I know. I strongly felt a lot of major changes could go a long way. I'm not even a fan of the roster at all. I always disliked this version of Sweet Tooth with a huge passion. In all honestly that's not Sweet Tooth!!! Sure I could see people enjoying the hell out of this TM game. I may consider getting it if people made mods for it.

Tekken 3
Tekken 3Tekken 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 3 added 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 minigame called "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 "Tekken Ball", similar to beach volleyball, where one has to 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.
