An additional gimmick is the fairly interactive fighting arenas. Split second decisions are quite common in this game. But this brings the dilemma of self-damage and the danger of being left on the very brink of defeat. Without the power meter lit Hyper Beast mode would be the only option. A scenario could develop where the only chance of getting back into a match would be to use the Beast Drives. Sounds obvious and simple but it adds a great deal of strategy to a bout. When transforming into Hyper Beast your own energy bar is partially drained. Without a catch, players would stay in this powerful form permanently. This mode is available at all times and allows the same additional moves as Beast mode but is capable of inflicting more damage. Alternatively Hyper Beast Mode is available. These special moves or combos are capable of significantly depleting your opponent's energy. More importantly this also allows Beast drives to be performed.

Beast mode opens up a variety of new moves using the Beast button, plus some varying grapples.

This can be accessed once a meter at the base of the screen has sufficiently built up. These days a fighting game is going to need a decent gimmick to really set itself apart from the rest of the field, and in Bloody Roar's case it comes in the form of its Beast transformations whereby each of the games characters can transform into 2 other forms. Now the PS2 game, Bloody Roar 3, has received a major overhaul and has been released onto the Gamecube in 'Extreme' form. Its origins date back to the Playstation, with a number of sequels on both of Sony's machines.

First up is the latest edition to the Bloody Roar series. With that in mind, owners of the Gamecube will be pleased to see signs of some decent support in that genre within the early stage of its life. The N64 had a minute library of fighting games and the handful that were available generally failed to impress.
