A respectable 75 average that never found its audience. A fighting game that keeps it simple — no gimmicks, just the game. Worth it for the campaign alone — the multiplayer stuck around and became its own thing.

About this game

The console version of Tekken 3, which adds more content to the original arcade game, such as new characters and additional game modes. With hidden features, faster gameplay, and new characters, the PlayStation version of Tekken 3 seeks to give you the fight of your life.

An ancient evil force has reawakened, attacking in secret and feeding on the souls of mighty warriors. To lure it out of hiding will take the greatest fighting contest the world has ever seen... Tekken 3. Some are fighting for revenge, some for honor. Ultimately, all are fighting for their lives and the fate of all mankind. After defeating Kazuya Mishima in the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2, Heihachi Mishima reclaimed the Mishima Zaibatsu and created the Tekken Force, a paramilitary organization dedicated to protecting the company. One day, a squadron of Tekken Force soldiers searches an ancient temple in Mexico as part of an excavation project and is almost wiped out by the mighty Ogre. Heihachi Mishima's only hope is his grandson Jin Kazama, who lives with his mother Jun, unaware of his heritage. When Ogre attacks his home and presumably kills his mother, Jin goes in search of his grandfather and learns the family martial arts. On his nineteenth birthday, Heihachi announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, hoping to use Jin to get Ogre out of the way.
