I've learned firsthand that you've ever bought a GBA port of a fighting game, you'd get what you paid for. With that in mind, I discovered and snatched a copy of "Tekken Advance." Of course it pales in comparsion to console versions because of the limited hardware, but you get the gist of what they're like if you don't own them already.
While the GBA's 4-button layout compromises the gameplay, you get a ton of moves that are easy to pull off against a fairly balanced AI. Plus you can rotate around the psuedo-3D platforms. A minor nuisance is that if you, say, land a suplex, you get this ugly one-second cutscene. A major nuisance is that "TA" needs an extra cartridge for vs battles, missing the GBA's multiplayer capabilities. Man cannot live on 9 characters and 6 game modes alone.
This game is rated T for Teen: Violence. |

I never thought fighting games on the Gameboy Advance would amount to much, to be honest. I figured we'd see a whole slew of 2-D fighters, like Street Fighter-Guilty Gear and the like, swamp the system as it's geared toward 2-D gameplay because of it's processing limitations. When I saw Tekken Advance in action, I was simply amazed. I don't know how Namco managed to do it but they produced a game that looks and plays like Tekken and I love it. Sure, the control scheme is a bit different and the move sets have been scaled down a bit but this game is, definitely, Tekken. This game, for better or worse, is a scaled down version of Tekken 3. While notables like Eddy and Lei are absent, the rest of the cast is there. In this version, Heihachi serves as the game's boss. Aside from the arcade mode, the game also features a link-cable versus, time attack, survival, tag battle, versus tag battle, and practice mode.
My only gripes with the game is that there is only one unlockable character in the game and, once you finish the game, there's no ending story, pictures or nothing. Credits roll, the end.
Other than that, Tekken Advance is a great fighting game worthy of any Gameboy Advance owners' hard-earned buck. If you like Tekken, you're going to like this one. I know I did.

This game is great! No, it's stupendous. It may have been stripped down a bit, so it would fit on the Game Boy, but it is fun and full of cool action and bad-@$$ fighters nonetheless. It has awesome and slick graphics, cool sounds and music, and of course some nifty and wicked controls such as multiple punch, high power kick, and even a way to pound on your opponent and deal a ton of damage. Also, all of the very best characters are in this game. Here's how I rank all of them, from best to worst. Or favorite to least. Same thing.
1. King-Always been my favorite character, still is to this day. His punches and kicks are devastating, and he is part jaguar.
2. Yoshimitsu-This is a robot and a ninja put together. He wields a glowing sword and has many punishing moves. He's a must have.
3. Nina-She's one of the best villainesses of all time. Very well trained in the martial arts and has lots of tricks up her sleeve.
4. Jin-Where to begin? He is a tough, no nonsense karate fighter, and is utterly intrepid and never gives up. Also is cool looking.
5. Paul-Cool getup, cool hair style, cool moves. And he is a very strong man. This guy is a challenge to nearly any Tekken player.
6. Gun Jack-He's a hero, but he's an engine of destruction. He is the strongest fighter and real tough. Not too fast, but powerful.
7. Heihachi-He's a cool and dastardly villain, and he's trained in the best karate. He's also the final boss in this very game.
8. Hoawrang-This is a really good fighter. He has awesome powers and cool combos and is very challenging. Nice look to him, too!
9. Forest Law-I like Marshall Law better, but this guy's still pretty good. I mean, he's got a way of getting around fights.
10. Xiaoyu-I still think she's pretty good. Unfortunately, none of the handful of Tekken fighters I like less than her are in this game, so she has to be at the bottom. But at least it goes no lower than one that I like pretty good, instead of awful/bad.
All in all, this is a terrific game and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes Tekken, Mortal Kombat, or any other fight game. Trust me-it is well worth your time, effort, and of course money. |

| This is very portable. It's easy to do the 10-hit combos on each character. |

| this game is great! the gameplay is very faithful to other tekken games. i bought it at a toys r us and it had been marked down to only 9.99! a big bargain. this game would have gotten 5 stars from me if two player gameplay could be used with only one cartridge. with this game, you need two copys of tekken to play. |
