This game is really good. The graphics are good, the music is pretty good. One pet peeve I have; when you sidestep, the opponent misses you, but your view of him doesn't change (whereas in DOA3, you see your opponent's back).Also, it can get a little boring. You just fight the same people over again. Thankfully, you can change your strategy by studying moves in the practice room. Also, the music will repeat itself every minute or two, and some stages have the same music. However, these bad things on't really affect how awesome this game is. Over all, this game is great!

Great game for a great system

This will be a great game to own for those eagerly fans awaiting a new Tekken title. The only problem I would see with it, is that the buttons. The GBA only has 2 buttons and another 2 on the shoulder side of the GBA. The only problem I would see, that the controls would be rather disturbing and uncomfortable. But why get this when you can get the eagerly anticipated Tekken 4 for PS2??? Which will be due out Spring 2002!!!!! Either way, all the games in the Tekken series have all been great in every aspect. So, expect this to be good as any other Tekken game.

Great game, but i wanted more...

Now that I have actually played and bought the game, i can safely say Tekken deserves the 4 stars i gave it. The gameplay is similar enought to T3 so that T3 players can jump right in. I found the new controls to be more "user friendly" than the four button and joystick scheme. I can finally pull off 10 hit combos and certain quickie moves. One thing i liked about the character roster: i was familiar with all of those characters (two things: no more Eddy "cheapo" Gordo!!). I would've liked to see True Ogre, Julia Chang, and Bryan Fury. Maybe there'll be a sequel (are you listening, Namco?!!)

the best game ever tekken

Not a Revival of Tekken Paradise and No Where Near Justice

Let's freely admit it. Profess it! THE FUTURE IS HERE! Technical advancements are screening throughout the world, and not I`m not rambling about nanomachines or emigrational space travel, I`m aimed at the Gaming Industry (note the capitalization. Oh yeah, it's that huge.) Face it, the GBA -- in all its rights -- comprises extraordinary brilliance. Many deemed Tekken's conversion on the GBA to be an ungodly Fighter, and get this (you can bite down on your pillow now), they were absolutely, positively on que. Bashed in it are horrendous moments of frustration. Okay, so the greatest future isn't actually here, and by the effort of Namco, gaming is not at its finest.

No, Tekken Advance is not a revival of the Tekken paradise, but it thrashes Mortal Kombat in every direction. With GBA limitations, the leap from the massive 3D environments to 2D was Namco's hardship. The GBA tries its best to capture the essence of Tekken and crashes. Consisting of only 10 lousy fighters, the controls on each character have obviously been tweaked into a condensed format. Single punch, kick, throw, and tag buttons are dished up on a skyrocketing discomfort level. Because of the lost of the essential control scheme, the moves list was trimmed down to simplified, sluggish combos. Worst, the AI is a recurring challenge and heavy with bevy combos. Missing the intensity of a hardcore fighter, the repeated combo-jumble fighting proves to be nothing more than a disgrace. On a happier note (the reason for that extra star), the controls are extremely responsive and the directional pad is just as splendid, letting players easily walk, dart, hop, and backpedal. On the whole the gameplay tries to deliver an adequate amount of mayhem. Easily unraveled by the range of modes from previous installments, such as the Arcade, Survival, and Tag Battle, this repulsive remake deserves no credit, because this one was never meant to be.

Graphically, Tekken Advance looks to be infected with a deadly case of visual disgust. Look at this thing, it keeps a doleful cast of pre-rendered fighters who have faces of callousness. The colorful backgrounds are ruined by jerky animation and smudged texturing. Even when combos go a-thundering-in, the graphics transform into a squalid pigpen. Tekken Advance, by screenshots, appeared to have taken complete usage of the GBA's full capacity, but is nowhere linked to the mighty emphasis of past games. Tenements of the franchise strictly belong to the console market, and Namco falls extremely short to do justice on their handheld attempt. Mark my words, 3D Fighters belong on specialized 3D formats -- otherwise known as the PS2, GameCube, or X-Box.

Not cool

I myself am a die hard tekken fan, and i asked for this game for christmas one year. I was so happy, until i played it. The graphics are horrible for one thing (but what do u expect from GBA). Only 10 of the Characters are in it, but u can only play as 9 of them! They're Nina, Hwoarang, Paul, Gun-Jack, Law, Jin, Ling, King, and Lei, Hehiachi is the unplayable boss. If you are undecided, please DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!! thank u
