If you're looking for portable fighting fun.this one is definitely worth checking out.

The relatively short duration of matches makes this a great game to play on the go, and if you want a longer challenge you can play through the story mode.

There are multiple levels of difficulty, a training mode where you can practice your moves, and a couple of other modes for variety. Still the gameplay is so solid and true to Tekken, you probably won't notice these inevitable graphic/music/sound debits too much. The characters look pretty good on the GBA, but the backgrounds of the levels and the music and sound are a bit flat. The only real sacrifices are noticed in the sound and the graphics. There are small changes in control, but all in all, this really FEELS like a genuine Tekken game an d not a cheap port like it could have been. The special moves and combos are fairly easy to execute using the d-pad and the attack buttons. Get the best gaming deals, reviews, product advice, competitions, unmissable gaming news and more. The action, speed, and special moves adapt well to this portable format. The game's boss Heiachi is available as an unlockable character for a total of 9 fighters. Tekken Advance is a port of one of the PS2 Tekkens (I believe it is a port of Tekken 3.but I could be wrong.) Most, but not all of the characters make it to this translation to the GBA. I'm a Tekken fan, and I read positive reviews of this GBA game Tekken Advance.I'd have to say after spending some time with the game, I have to agree with a positive review of my own. I'm always on the lookout for good portable fighting games.

The game provides battery backup, allowing players to keep track of various statistics, including character usage and the top game clearance times. With two cartridges and a link cable, two players can battle against one another. The face buttons are used to punch and kick, while the shoulder buttons are used to grapple and 'tag' partners into and out of the match in a special three-on-three game mode.Īrcade and Versus modes make up the most significant portion of the game, though periphery modes such as Survival, Time Attack, and Tag Battle exist as well. Each character possesses a wealth of moves to master, which are performed using a simplified control scheme. A zoom feature moves closer to and farther out from the action, mimicking the camera found in the console versions. The cast of ten fighters (as well as one hidden one) include King, Jin, Paul, and Nina, and the action is reproduced using a combination of pre-rendered sprites and scaling 2D environments. A throwback to the series' earlier incarnations, Tekken Advance recaptures much of the magic found in the console renditions.
