Sometimes the original is still the best; although versions 2 & 3 are great games with awesome moves, this one always had a special place in my heart. The action is intense, fighting skills take time to develop, and you always discover something else everytime you play. This is fun they won't be putting down anytime soon.

An overlooked classic

Most Teekns fans carer started with Tekken 3. And if you were an aracde aholic, it started with 2. Had this been the easrly 90's this gamewould have got 5 stars hands down. But over the years, this game is aged. Tekken 1, was not an arcade blokc buster, and really came to age on ome systems. Most fans of later tekkens will notice that this game was left for improvements. Thee characters, while perfect stunnning and apporpiate for the early 90's, are blocky and of little detail. although it was light years beyond Virtua Fighter 1. And the fact that this was one ofthe first 3-dgames without chessy ringouts,and a highly detail, and cue combo system. Most fans of later tekken will notice the cheese factor of the gameplay. You could basically, pumble the computer, or an human oppeonent with little ease on the ground. Which was improved in later Tekkens. And the 8 characters, which again was appropiate for the times. The story of this game, goes back to early Tekken. Heatchi(sp?) was the final Boss.And was pretty hard due tothe fact you could be killed with only 3 moves. I dont remember if Devil Kaazu(sp?) was a secret boss. But he was selectable,only through a very hard unlock process. Anyway, I know that the later Tekkens blowthis game way, but his is a classic. Introdcuing oyung versions, of Tekken legends. Law, Paul, and Kaazu(sp?). This is a personal favorite of mines. But the reason for the low rating is the fact that the gameplay was cheesy. Which, again was greatly imporoved upon in later tekkens.

THIS GAME WAS GREAT. THOUGH IT DOESN'T COMPARE TO ITS ORIGINAL ARCADE MACHINE, THIS HOME VERSION IS NICE ANYWAY. THE FIGHTS ARE ALL FUN, THE GRAPHICS STILL LOOK FANTASTIC EVEN THOUGH THIS GAME IS NEARLY A DECADE OLD NOW, AND THE CHARACTERS ARE ALL GOOD AND THE STORYLINES ARE ALL INTERESTING. TO UNLOCK THE BOSSES [WHICH IS THE MAIN THING], YOU HAVE TO BEAT THEM ALL WITH THEIR ALREADY AVAILABLE COUNTERPARTS. THE FIRST TIME YOU BEAT HEIHACHI [WHICH IS THE MAIN BOSS FOR THIS GAME], YOU GET HIM UNLOCKED. BUT THE REST OF THEM, YOU HAVE TO PLAY AS THE COUNTERPARTS TO GET THEIR BOSSES. EVEN WITH THE PLAYSTATION 2 AND X BOX AND STATE OF THE ART SYSTEMS LIKE THAT ON THE MARKET, MANY OF THE GAMES THEY PUT OUT TODAY CAN'T COMPARE TO CLASSIC GAMES LIKE THIS! THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREATEST FIGHTING GAMES EVER AND I DARE SAY THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST OF THE TEKKEN SERIES. EVEN HAS GREAT MUSIC.

The first time I played this game I was amazed by the sheer quality coming out of this game. The grahics were absolutly incredible and the gameplay was out of this world. This was all in 1995. Now that tekken2 and tekken3 had arrived on the scene it seemed as though tekken had faded to a fairyland. Back then in junior school everyone was in conversation about all the characters and the secret ones and how you unlocked them. And know that games like tekken2, tekken3 and soulbade coming to the playstation tekken was suddenly never an issue. All I know is that tekken was a fantastic game at launch and had also beaten virtua fighter on the saturn which was a rival to tekken. If tekken had never come out then I believe with a 100% that none of the existing games that I have mentioned above and their sequals would have been in existance. Despite these games being in existance tekken is still a soulfighter and is the game that made namco famous on the playstation.

Tekken- - - The Legacy

This game pretty much kicks .... I know a lot about tekken games, and this is no different. This is the beginning of a 5 game series, so far. The graphics aren't good, but they are just what to expect from a 95 ps one game. As tekken goes this is probably the worst, but still good. As they make more they get better, but what kept me coming back for more was the story, not just the fighting. As the game progresses, so does the story. I own tekken 3,4 and soon 1,2 and between all those their's a tag game with all the characters to that point, tekken 3. In tag tournament you get to play all the characters even if they died in previous tekkens. Unlike all the tekkens so far you have a tag partner, it's pretty cool. To skip to the point, you should buy this. It's not the best one but you should buy it. My personal favorites so far are 3,4. Tekken tag and tekken 4 are for ps2, the rest are ps one. None of the games are too expensive, especially 3, if you're good you can get all 5 for just 100 bucks. They're worth a shot.

Peace out
Enjoy your Tekken

Tekken fan

I really liked this game. It has cool players and levels. It also has great moves, but it's very difficult to get some secret players and it can get boring after a while. Other than that, this game rocks!

A total classic

Sure this game was released in 1995 and the graphics look extremely dated compared to the newer Tekken games, but still this game is a total classic. I've loved Tekken ever since it hit arcades back in 1994. I own every single Tekken game (except Tekken 4, since it's not out on PS2 yet). If you like fighting games or if you're an fan of Tekken, then I recommend this classic game!

I disagree I think 3 is the best for PS. 1 just seems too old to me but go with your instincts.

This game is the worst

I thought this game would be sweet. It doesn't have as many options as the other ones. The secret character don't even have a story if you beat the game with them. You can't even see them on the screen. Plus you can't use half the moves from the other Tekken games.
