The third edition of the beast transforming beat 'em up series includes 12 gameplay modes including the usual arcade, versus and practice along with survival (beat as many opponents as possible before dying) and 8 gameplay modes that can only be played once you unlock them. Bloody Roar 3 brings a fresh experience to the table.
The same gameplay style created in the 2 PlayStation versions continues here, where your character has the ability to morph into a beast during play to inflict more damage and combos on the enemy. However, each arena in the game now has breakable landscapes similar to Dead or Alive 2 , while the graphics have been improved greatly to use the available power of the Playstation 2.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a fighting game where players control Zoanthropes, humans who can transform into powerful beasts. They must uncover the mystery behind "Crests," strange marks that grant immense power but also cause death, while battling unknown enemies.
Story
Story
Several years have passed since the world recognized the existence of Zoanthropes. These humans can transform into beasts, possessing strength, speed, and combat skills far beyond ordinary men.
Recently, an odd phenomenon began to spread among some Zoanthropes. Strange marks, referred to as "Crests," appeared on their bodies.
Zoanthropes with Crests became capable of wielding power far beyond their natural limits. However, incidents of death among them, with unknown causes, were reported one after another.
The brave individuals who fought against organizations scheming to abuse Zoanthrope power faced the fear of death themselves, as they too discovered Crests on their bodies.
With the fear of their own mortality weighing against them, these individuals made up their minds to stand up and fight, although they didn't know their enemy.
What is the secret behind the Crests and what is the unearthly power they possess? Not even God knows how long they have to unlock the mystery.

GAME MODES
In the Character Select screens and the Loading screens, the left half of the screen is for the first player, and the right half is for the second player.
ARCADE
Arcade mode is a direct port of the arcade title Bloody Roar 3, with a storyline added to each character. The main focus is single-player versus CPU battles, but another player can challenge you in the middle of Arcade mode.
How to Start Arcade Mode
When the Character Select screen is displayed, choose the character that you want to use. To return to the title screen, press the SELECT button.
There are three different colors/costumes for each character; press the O, X or buttons to pick the color. You may also pick your character and the color randomly by pressing the L1 button.
Your first opponent will be chosen automatically after your character's prologue sequence. If you win the battle, you will move on to the next opponent. If you lose, the Continue screen will be displayed.
Continue
If you press the START button before the countdown reaches zero, the Character Select screen will be displayed. You can challenge the opponent with the same character that you were using, or you can pick a different character. There is no limit to the number of times the game can be continued.
Challenge
You can challenge the other player who is playing the Arcade mode by pressing the START button on the second controller. The battle will begin after you choose your character and the stage.
VS BATTLE
This mode is designed specifically for two-player versus fighting. Two controllers are required.
How to Start VS Battle Mode
When the Character Select screen is displayed, each player must choose a character to use in battle. There are three different colors/costumes for each character; press the O, X or buttons to pick the color.
Next, the player who chose their character first must also choose the stage. Use the directional buttons to select. After the battle, you will be brought back to the Character Select screen.
SURVIVAL
Survival mode is a special single-player versus CPU battle mode where you try to beat as many opponents as you can in a row. Your life gauge will not fully recover after each battle, and the game setting is fixed to single-round, 60-second battles.
How to Start Survival Mode
When the Character Select screen is displayed, choose a character that you want to use. The opponents and stages will be chosen automatically.
PRACTICE
In the Practice mode, you can practice your moves and combos on the CPU-controlled dummy. You can also assign the dummy's behavior.
How to Start Practice Mode
When the character select screen is displayed, choose your character, the dummy character, and the stage. You can change the dummy's settings if you pause the game. By pressing the SELECT button, the characters will instantly return to the default positions.
