Featuring some ridiculously hard-hitting hooks, an abundance of industrial-tinged guitar licks, more complex drum patterns, and a number of sleak synths, one would not be faulted for mistaking the OST for a legitimate dance album plucked straight out of the aforementioned rave scene if they didn't know any better. Heavily influenced by the then-ongoing big beat revolution of the mid-to-late-90's, Tekken 3's OST offers up over 20 tracks of electronica-based stage theme songs, all of which are allocated to a particular character in the game's roster. Yet at the same time, it builds on the foundations of the previous games' eclectic instrumentation and themes, as well as the idea to provide enough amounts of catchiness to give the players something to groove to. The overall attitude and direction that the OST takes itself in could not be further removed from the often-times cheesy and disproportionately theatrical styles of the previous two efforts.
Whereas the game itself was a success by significantly expanding upon every aspect of its predecessors, as well as introducing a slew of new features, its music appropriately follows suit. Tekken 3's soundtrack encompasses the very essence of what made the ground quake when the game was initially released. Review Summary: No flashy theatrics, no breathing room, just an hour and a quarter of the most lethal, relentless electronica ever applied to a videogame.
