Everything has just a touch of the dreaded aliasing, although there's no interlace flicker that I can see. There's less refinement in the basic character models and stage backgrounds than we've seen in games like DOA2 Hardcore, though. Ahem.Shenlong and Marvel have some nice striped and spotted textures for their feline fur, and Yugo's werewolf model makes a great lead character. We would also be remiss if we didn't mention Jenny's lovely bat wings, which are nearly all she's wearing after her beast transformation. The hulking Stun has massive horns, armor plates, and animating transparent wings. While the ordinary character models may not be that impressive, the beast alters look great. You have to change to your beast form in order to use your special attacks, which is a nice little graphical prelude to the coming chaos. They're almost too much at times, overshadowing Some include a touch of the gruesome (Xion impales enemies on his prehensile antennae) while others are just cute (Uriko ping-pongs off the arena walls with her opponent and winds up a little dizzy afterward). The special attacks are the graphical high point of the game - their animation is fluid and absurdly fast, while the lighting and explosion effects are beautiful. Those attacks are accompanied by a few Street Fighter style commands for each character (mainly half- and quarter-circles), a few basic throws using the triangle button, and two Beast Drive special attacks apiece, performed with forward and backward versions of the SFIII two-scoops motion. The Tekken-style combos are lengthy, plentiful, and fairly easy to pull off, giving the game a fast back-and-forth pace. Tekken has depth, while Dead or Alive has its speed and massive arenas, but Bloody Roar 3 is more fun at times than either. Any one of them is a ticket to a good time, though. Now that, as I like to say, is entertainment.īusuzima (the aforementioned) joins all the rest of Bloody Roar 2's characters, as well as Xion the Unborn, in the initial cast of Bloody Roar 3 - the Iron Mole is evidently hidden. There are few (if any) games available that let you control a Gene Simmons-tongued dement in an aloha shirt who turns into a giant chameleon in order to beat hell out of his opponents. It is, in some areas, not the visual equal of Tekken Tag Tournament or Dead or Alive 2, and its combo system gets just an eensy bit scrubbalicious here and there, but as Bloody Roar always has, it makes up for its other shortcomings with plenty of personality. p. 17.PS2 Impressions If Bloody Roar 3 doesn't receive an American release, I'm certain there are some gamers out there who will be poorer for it. ^ "Game Machine's Best Hit Games 25 - TVゲーム機ーソフトウェア (Video Game Software)".^ Chou, Che Dudlak, Jonathan Hsu, Dan "Shoe" (August 2001).^ a b "Bloody Roar 3 for PlayStation 2 Reviews".The English voice cast features Barry Gjerde as Yugo and a system voice, Kimberly Forsythe as Alice, Dario Toda as Long, Lenne Hardt as Shina, Paul Lucas as Busuzima, Greg Dale as Stun, Samantha Vega as Jenny, Chris Wells as Gado, Bill Sullivan as Shenlong, Michael Naishtut as Bakuryu, Bianca Allen as Uriko and John Nuzzo as Xion.
