Product Description ------------------- The fighting game series that turned the arcades upside down is now debuting on Dreamcast. "Virtua Fighter 3TB" has everything that made the original an arcade mega-hit, plus a new team battle mode that allows for tournament play. On Dreamcast, "Virtua Fighter 3TB" incorporates incredible 3D gaming environments and characters, fluid gameplay and life-like graphics, allowing for a perfect translation of the smooth fighting moves and graphics found in the Model 3 arcade machine. The first 3D fighting game to have interactive environments which influence gameplay, including elevated platforms. 10 original characters from VF2, including Akira, Pai, Sarah Bryant, plus two all-new characters. Life-like fighting characters literally watch their nent's every move, fall forward if kicked from behind and lose their balance if pushed towards the edge of platforms. 13 fighting stages, including walled arenas, a tropical island, a subway station and the Great Wall of China. Gamers can view individual player performance, win/loss percentages and rankings for each fighter to determine their skill level. In "Practice Mode", gamers can check their moves, practice difficult techniques and master combination attacks by viewing the button sequences of fighting moves on-screen. .co.uk Review ------------- Realistically animated fighters, wonderful 3-D environments, and the deepest gameplay to grace the fighting genre--what more could you want? Although Virtua Fighter 3 tb isn't without fault, it valiantly manages to bring all those things to the Dreamcast incarnation. VF 3 tb has always been less about over-the-top acrobatics and more about the raw realism of martial arts. In fact, one of the game's characters, Shun-Di, virtually mimics Jackie Chan's "drunken style" from the Drunken Master movies. New to this third instalment of the Virtua Fighter series is the team battle mode, which lets you take a team of three fighters head-to-head against either the computer or a human nent. Virtua Fighter 3 Team Battle successfully combines stunning visuals with multilayered gameplay, which makes it a must-buy for fans of the series. --Sajed Ahmed
