Descpription:
Sen 3 is nothing like the previous two titles of the
same name, and the story is slightly different as well. As one of four
characters, you must traverse through urban cityscapes armed with a weapon
and a limited arsenal of moves. In similar side-scrolling fashion, the player
must punch, kick, slash, and throw his way to the end of each level.
This may seem like an exercise in tedium, but there are plenty of
extras available to keep the game fresh until you complete it.
For the first time ever (in a Neo-Geo side-scroller, anyway), the
player can chain combos and specials together to rack up points.
A combo meter (albeit KOF, Kizuna Encounter, etc.) keeps track of the action,
and the more times you hit a particular enemy, the better your score becomes.
Other additions to the gameplay include a pile driver (native to hero Kagetsura)
and specials that vary per character. Of course, like most fighting games,
a special rage meter must be built to max before any of the specials can be executed.
This can be achieved by bashing away at your enemy, and like mentioned previously,
the more hits (i.e. combos) you produce, the quicker this meter will fill.
