The Beast Drive is pretty much the Super Combo. While in beast form, the player can recover some of the health that was lost over time and can perform 'Beast Drive' - in other words, super combo that was seen in Capcom and SNK fighting games. A fight in the game starts with both fighters meters filled up and both players have the option to transform into a beast. The main feature in the Bloody Roar series,the Beast Form, returns in Bloody Roar 3. The button commands are punch, kick, throw, beast form button, and the L2 & R2 button is side-step left and side-step right - the player has the option to double tap up or down to side-step. The game uses a total of six buttons - thought the shoulder buttons on the PS2 controller are optional. An enhanced version, titled Bloody Roar: Primal Fury (also known as Bloody Roar Extreme), was released both for the GameCube on Maand for the Xbox on May 27, 2003. It was later ported to the PlayStation 2 on Main Japan (by Hudson Soft), on Jin North America (by Activision), and on Augin Europe (by Virgin). The sequel to Bloody Roar II, Bloody Roar 3 features higher-quality graphics and new gameplay mechanics (such as mid-air combos and a more-powerful one-use 'Hyper Beast Mode' transformation). Bloody Roar 3 is a 3D fighting game developed and released by Hudson Soft and Eighting for arcades (using PS2-based Namco System 246 hardware) exclusively in Japan on December 2000.
