All the cool kids are asking, �Pong Sifu, does Tekken Advance, in fact, destroy?� To which he stoically replies...
Tekken Advance is a startlingly faithful translation of the epic fighting series. By combining solid pixel animations with awesome scaling and rotation effects, the developers have achieved an impressive, psuedo-3D effect. The killer music and sound effects will practically choke your ears into submission (play this with headphones on!), while the simplified yet intuitive controls house an immense array of combos and specialty moves. The game is also rich with gameplay modes and a sterling presentation. However, one of the series� biggest draws�a healthy assortment of hidden fighters�is hindered since there�s only one unlockable character in Tekken Advance, strangling its replay value. Still, it�s as impressive an offering of pint-sized wrath as you�re going to find anytime soon.
