    AM2's Virtua series is probably Sega's most famous series right after Sonic. Yu Suzuki's 3D fighting game is the best ever fighting game made by Sega. When the original version was released for the Genesis, it was considered the beginning of new age for fighting games. It sure was, Virtua Fighter 1 was the first ever 3D fighting game. Since than, other 3D games were made based on Virtua Fighter. So, the next time, you play Soul Calibur or any other 3D fighting game think about how Virtua Fighter 1 has helped make this game.
    There was little changes made for Virtua Fighter 3TB from Virtua Fighter 3. Basically more smooth graphics, running at 60 frames per second and the addition of Team Battle. Team Battle allows you to battle with two characters, similar to Marvel vs. Capcom.
    There was a good reason from Sega for holding the game back from launch, it was to add the versus mode. They've smoothed out the graphics, added great amount of music fitting into the stage background and a very good fighting system.
    Here is list of the incredible things Virtua Fighter 3: Team Battle offers:
-13 full 3D fighting stages.
-Elevation and positioning dramatically change fighting strategy.
-12 original characters including two new characters.
-Stunning detail such as clothes ripple, eyes track opponents.
-Multiple camera angles including 1st person viewpoint.
-Highly sophisticated fighting engine for incredible depth.
    I think this game is incredibly entertaining, there are tons of different moves to try, with 12 different characters. With some positives come some negatives, like the limited amount of characters, only 13 (if you include Dural, who's a hidden character). The graphics is no where near Soul Calibur, but its far better that Power Stone. I don't know if I should consider Virtua Fighter 3TB or Soul Calibur as a new stardard for all future fighting games.
    Virtua Fighter 3TB is probably not the best of the series, but still a very good fighting game. If your planning to buy a fighting, think about the games out there, Dead or Alive 2, Soul Calibur, Marvel vs. Capcom, Power Stone, and off course Virtua Fighter 3TB. If your the average fan of fighting games, I really wouldn't recommend this game. Its better off you go with Soul Calibur, its much more easy. But if you've been playing fighting games for a while, you'll love this game. Tons of combos, special moves, and stuff. Even the average wrestling fan will love this game, because it has a lot of wrestling moves.
