A beast-themed fighting game with transformation into humanoid animals. Arena combat is dynamic and the Primal Fury system adds depth. A solid series entry, accessible while offering enough subtlety for experienced players.

Description
The third entry in Hudson's series, released in 2001 and the first to land on PS2. Its trademark hook remains intact: fighters can transform at any time into hybrid beasts — tiger, wolf, mole — to unleash heavier hits and more punishing combos.
A fighting game from Hudson and Eighting, Bloody Roar 3 leans on its transformation mechanic where each character morphs into an anthropomorphic beast mid fight, gaining power and reach. The snappy pace, the fluidity of the combos and the spectacle of the transformations make for a dynamic, accessible 3D versus. The technical depth limited against the genre's greats and a modest roster weigh a little. A good fighting game for fans of snappy 3D versus and multiplayer brawling with an original concept.
