Fatal Fury 3
(LAST UPDATE: 5/5/08)

..

Profile

Story: It has been two years since the second King Of Fighters tournament took place. Now Terry, Andy, Joe, Mai and Geese are back in South Town along with five new characters and three bosses. All of them have their own reasons of coming to South Town, but in the end, everything links to a scroll that reveals the secret to the lost ancient martial arts.

.

General: Fatal Fury 3 was a pretty big improvement over it's predecessor, improving character detail with re-drawn sprites (again), better animation, and introducing several colorful new characters. The gameplay still feels a bit slow, but is certainly more playable than ever.

Closing Comment: Refusing to throw in the towel, the sleepr hit Fatal Fury series put forth a good effort, but still fell short when compared to other 2D (and 3D) fighters of the time... The series and characters still had much growing to do. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
