This game does not really meet its name of honor the graphics are bad for the people. Backgrounds are ok. Saturn owner get vf2 better. controls are as playin a complicated not meant to beat pc game of the early 90's.

Virtua Fighter 3: Team Battle is not for the Amateur gamer

This is not an amateur's game. This is a game for the advanced fighter. I have Virtua Fighter for my 32X and it is great even on a not-so-powerful Genesis add-on. This game is going to be one of the best fighters for the Dreamcast.

Good game unfortunately.

Virtua Fighter set the standard for 3D fighters for quite a while. Unfortunately Soul Caliber leaves it in the dust. The Character rendering seems almost childlike in comparison.

Yea this game is fun. sure.

I was really looking forward to playing this game but after about two seconds of confusion i realized this game was really bad. Please do not buy this game it is a disgrace to the dreamcast. everything about this game is sub-par. And the replay value is not there period. I never want to play that game again. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Why would anyone buy this game?

Man, this game stunk. Sorry, there's no other way to put it.

Let's start with the graphics, which will have you checking the jewel case to make sure you didn't load up Virtua Fighter 1 by accident. The characters look like they were built with Legos, which would be understandable in 1996, but in the age of Dead or Alive 2 and Soul Calibur, sumo wrestlers should not have corners.

Next, the gameplay. After playing Virtua Fighter 2 endlessly, I was ready for a challenge. After playing this game, I was still ready for a challenge. With little effort, you can pound away on any character like you were tenderizing beef. Just punch first, then mash together a few more buttons to complete your "combo." Repeat until you get bored, which won't take long. Utterly miserable.

So, let's see, poor graphics, awful gameplay . . . . I would have given this game one star, but I'm saving that for the next version of Shaq Fu. If you can think of any reason to buy this game over Dead or Alive 2 or Soul Calibur, you've got more imagination than I have.

Fun, but not as good as the arcade.

As with the previous Virtua Fighter console versions, this game provides realistic movements and much better control than button-smashers like Tekkon. The characters have a huge amount of attacks and defenses (only some of which are described in the booklet.) The 3D, varying-elevation backgrounds are nice, but not rendered as well as the arcade version. Downsides - the graphics are a bit choppy and the standard Dreamcast controller makes some multi-button and combination moves a bit awkward. You can program the controller through the options menu, but this is not something most experienced VF'ers want to do. All in all, very entertaining, realistic fighting.

Great 3D fighter

I am not a huge fan of the 3D fighting games, I prefer 2D fighters, but I must say Virtua fighter 3tb is a great game. I bought this game a few days ago and played it, and I liked it. It is different from 2D fighters in the sense that it adds more realism to the bouts, no fancy fireballs or stuff like that, just pure strategic hand to hand contact fighting. It takes a while to know your moves but once you get it you will enjoy this game. I gave it three stars because I still haven't learned the moves, and I hear Soul Calibur is the better choice, but do not dismiss this game just yet, it will definetely deliver.

Boring, boring, boring

Graphics are below average, action is slow. This game looks like it belongs on a Sega Saturn. Compared to offerings like Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive 2, this game is utter crap. Unless you are a fighting game nut you will not like this game.

Maximum Fighting

Those who remember the good times of Sega Saturn can't forget how Virtua Fighter and Virtua Fighter 2 changed the way fighting games are made forever. Now, all of the fun we had in "the good old days" are brought to the dreamcast platform. The game is complete with enhanced graphics and great sound. Virtua Fighter 3TB may be the greatest fighting game for the dreamcast system.

The first Great Fighter!

Virtua Fighter may have a hard time competing with games such as DOA2, or tekken tag, but believe me this was what paved the way for those games. All though it lacks where the others seem to excell with story modes and hidden characters, virtua fighter makes up with character variety and a great display of styles (drunken style, mantis, sumo, etc.). I was shocked at how fun this game was even after playing more modern games. Even with new games on the market, I think i'll be playing this one for a while. The teacher of fighting games.
