Tekken 3 : Prima's Official Strategy

The guide for tekken 3 could have been better.  They spent lots of time with the photos, but some of the moves were either wrong or incomplete(paul's tackle to choke move). King's links could have been  explained better, and there is lack of actual combos for all the  characters.  I enjoyed brady's guide better.

wow, it feels like playing PS2 Tekken 5 on the PSP with same type of graphics and loadtime. Personally the only reason you would want this game is to play Tekken anywhere you go, other than that its almost identical to the PS2 Tekken 5, all the ending are the same all the moves are the same. you do get 2 new characters. To sum it up: I love it, its gotta be the best fighting game on the psp and the best port from ps2 to psp! now if only they can port god of war to the psp with this kind of quality!

First things first, Tekken 6 is a solid fighting game. It has a steep learning curve and punishing difficulty, even on the easy setting, that gives you a rewarding feeling for every victory you achieve. As I have discovered, if you can't master at least one 10-hit combo on your character, you will have a lot of trouble with this game. The unlock system in this game is both interesting and stressful. All of the game's playable characters are available from the beginning, and the only things you must earn are outfits, hairstyles, and various accessories for each character. The plus side is that after your efforts to buy each item, you will have a unique look for your fighter. The downside is the price of each item. For simple sunglasses, as an example, you must earn the equivalent of 30 perfect fights worth of money. This slow grind for cash makes the game lose it's value really fast. You will find yourself playing the same modes over and over until you can afford to look the way you intended from the start. If you have the patience and skill, this game is definitely for you.

Now, the fight stick is the greatest part of this bundle. To answer some aching questions, yes it is indeed compatible with any other fighter on the console. The only things it lack are the two joysticks [as the arcade stick's joystick is mapped as the controller's D-Pad], so you can't use it for games that require this like first person shooters. There is no input lag, so the moment you press the button is the moment your character reacts. Fans of the arcades in your neighborhood rejoice, as the button layout is designed to emulate tournament-grade setups. Being an arcade freak, I was glad that it looked, felt, and operated like it truly should, even after some button mashing abuse. Being the first wireless unit on the next gen consoles also sets it apart from other similar arcade sticks. During a game session with 6 of my friends, passing it around after each round was an effortless endeavor. It is really light, in spite of it's appearance, and has a decent battery life. If you own any other fighting game, or plan on getting another in the near future, you should make this purchase right now.

As usual PRIMA does a great job with this game walkthrough including hidden or hard to find components of the game. I encourage my kids and gamer old school  friends to always try to figure the game out yourself first and if you get to the end, read through the guide and see what you missed. This guide also worked great for the one or two times I was stuck. Anyway kick back relax and enjoy, great game, great book!!!

You may be thinkiing hmmmm ill wait until tekken 4 comes out this fall, but you don't need to because this game will be better.  Yu suzuki, the famed producer of hang on, space harrier, virtua fighter series, and shenmue brings you his latest installment vf4.  He has converted this masterpiece to the ps2 in all of its naomi 2 graphic glory.  Also added an advanced training portion, customizable characters, and unlockable bonuses.  This is the best fighting game ever because the more you play the better you become unlike button mashers where even the best go down unfair.  Do yourself a favor and buy this game

It seems to have *everything* in it. There are so many things in this game that don't make much sense or require so much trial and error to figure out how to use that's just no worth trying. For instance it never occurred to me the incentive chips were for selling and the bio components are used to raise the multiplication factor of the mechanical components.

What this guide does is to put sense into something that looks like a very linear and somewhat random gameplay. Highly recommended.

...I've owned Tekken 4 for a few months now and I must say it is a good game.  The graphics are a huge improvement over all the previous games and the cut scenes of course are excellent.
Story wise, each character has their own story in tekken 4 and they all connect together which I thought was pretty cool.  Beating the story mode for each character can be as easy as tapping the punch button repeatedly.. or as hard as hell.. depends on your choice of diffculty.  I go very easy mode.. just to beat the game fast and unlock the characters and watch the cut scenes heh
Character wise.. there are quite a lot, more than Vf4 (which i also own).. i don't know what you people that don't own this game are complaining about.  You start off with relatively few, but after you unlock all the characters, you have twice the amount of characters you have before.  Plus some characters have alter egos.. like Violet or Panda etc... and they have their own special cut scenes.  There aren't really much NEW characters other than steve, marduk, and of course the return of kazuya, but oh well. The old characters look more mature now and older.. I especially like Steve, his fighting style is different than any other character in the game.. he doesn't have Kick attacks at all, instead his Kick attack buttons are replaced by Dodge attack buttons.. Punch and Dodge, hes a boxer duh.
Gameplay wise, its basically another tekken, notthing special.  Ya.. great graphics, nice story.. and the background is interactive now (break background probs and stuff).. but its the same old tekken.
Tekken Force is nothing much either.. Remember tekken force in Tekken 3? its basically the same except in 3D Third person..slightly better, but still restraints on movement.. jeez namco, you guys should have a tekken force with complete freedom of movement
Other modes too.. Arcade, Time attack, Team battle, Practice, Training.... Other than practice, training and sometimes arcade mode.. the others aren't really worth noteing
If your a tekken diehard or never played tekken before.. go buy it.. if u own tekken 3/tekken tag and aren't really a tekken fan.. i suggest a rental.

Bloody Roar is my favorite head to head fighting series. The characters and their move sets are killer. The "ultimate move" is reasonable easy to pull off, and overall the game is extremely gratifying and enjoyable to play. I'd say pick it up.

THIS GAME WAS GREAT, AS A MATTER OF FACT, BUT IT'S NOT ALL THAT PEOPLE SAY IT IS. THERE'S SOME NEW CHARACTERS ADDED TO THE GAME AND THE CHARACTERS FROM THE FIRST 2 GAMES HAVE ALL GOTTEN OLDER. THE FIGHTS ARE GREAT, THE NEW AND INVENTIVE MODES [SUCH AS THE ONE WHERE YOU FIGHT OFF GANGS AND STUFF LIKE THAT ON DIFFERENT STAGES] ARE GOOD, AND THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL FUN AND EASY TO USE. TEKKEN FANS WILL LOVE THIS ONE A LOT.

After the Tri Force Heroes collector's guide disaster I'm so glad to see how nicely this guide turned out! It has the title on the spine and the crest of Hyrule on the cover. It matches very well with the other books on my shelf, and is a much darker color than the original Twilight Princess collector's strategy guide. The guide itself is as you would expect from Prima, which is to say it's very useful, if you need to use it. As a collector's item it looks great, and the cloth map is a really nice bonus!

Due to the limited moves of the monsters in this game, it doesn't warrant a strategy guide.  A book devoted to this title is true overkill.  Like most games, GDAM seems daunting the first few attempts, but there is one major secret to the game that gets you 1/2 way there: "don't walk, run".  Literally.  Always keep the left button, on the front of the controler - the blue-grey one that's for your index finger, as you move ([Gamecube], refer to maual for X-box).  That makes your monster run. Never let it go.  Ta da.

Just picked this guide up at Best Buy today; great limited edition strategy guide. I picked it up for collector purposes and I really wanted the chopsticks. The chopsticks seem okay. Made out of wood and the design on them is pretty neat. The guide says they are "food safe," but I'm not gonna use them. The guide itself is really nice. Provides new comers to the game a great introduction to World of Warcraft and this new expansion. Includes a very detailed part about the Pandaren and the new Monk class.

The guide also includes an excerpt from the new World of Warcraft novel, "Tides of War." I have not read the excerpt yet, but it is from Chapter 10 and seems to be the full chapter. The pages for the excerpt have nice concept art on them with the text.

Overall, I like this guide and like I said, picked it up for collector purposes. Recommend to new comers and veterans.

A good strategy guide for the Wii version of THDJ. It doesn't match the controls, all of the levels or hidden characters from the Playstation 2 version but is a good general reference for an underrated skate game.

For the most part, this is a solid entry in the MK universe. As a huge fan of Injustice: God Among Us, it is very obvious to see that Mortal Kombat X is using almost the exact same game model. And honestly, that's exactly what I was hoping for it to be. So, let's think this through: We use the same game model but put replace it with all MK universe. Check. Let's now transfer all the good stuff from Injustice: Environmental damage. Check. Power meters to execute a power move. Check (It's even the same buttons) . Costume changes!? Check! Ok, lets add different playing styles for each character. That is a cool bonus. Plus all this faction stuff. Also cool. Oh hey, remember how Injustice allowed you to knock your opponent through a wall followed by an absurd amount of damage taken being bashed by everything around you? Let's leave that out. WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!! Seriously, that is my absolute favorite part of Injustice. And it is completely absent from MKX. Now, I know many will argue that they put in all that other stuff instead of that. Well that is complete horses***!!! One more thing to make the game the ultimate fighting experience ever. Especially considering the absurd amount of DLC that we are have to buy if we want to own everything.
So, overall, MKX is an amazing game and is almost as fun Injustice. For the lack of knocking people into another room/dimension, I withhold the 5th star.

This is a tactician's game!  I destroy my brilliant little 12 yr old at Chess and Stratego; she wipes the floor with me in Black Sheep.  This is a simple game fit for complex minds.  Easy to setup and play, but the strategy...oh, the strategy!  Not for the temporally-organized, though.  Meant for the spatially-organized.

I love the Tekken Series first of all. The graphics and game play are awesome.  Controlling the avatar is simple. and the price was great too.
