In addition, players can regain stamina by collecting edible vegetation such as fruits and, by slaughtering animals like snakes and frogs.

Tekken fans will definitely feel at home with a number of moves executable through manipulating a combination of buttons and analog stick on the Playstation 2 gamepad. Once players have completed this game, they'll want to play over and over, since there are a number of unlockable items and items that they may have missed along the way (refer to the official guide which is sold separately). Also, if players have skipped cut-scenes at the heat of excitement, they'll be able to appreciate this game even more through watching the cinematics which are sometimes dramatic and sometimes hilarious.

Due to the enormous success of MGS3, Konami, the game's developer, announced that Part 4 is scheduled to be released in late 2006.
