Actually, I played this in the arcade, but it still rocked!

This game is one I played twice in the arcade, as the title might give you a hint about. And both times, after a lot of effort and never giving up, I won the game. And I was champion. This game is both fun and cool, the graphics, sound effects, music, and impacts of hits couldn't get a whole lot better, and many of the very best characters are starring in this game. Here is how I rank them----!!

1. King-My # 1 favorite Tekken fighter. He is part jaguar, part man and all big strong wrestler. He can do all sorts of damaging moves, and both the times I won this game, it was playing as him.

2. Yoshimitsu-A real cool ninja robot. The shine of his glowing sword is outmatched only by the coolness of his getup and the way he can give new meaning to the word "ninja." He rocks like drums.

3. Nina Williams-She, as in all other Tekken games, is a ruthless and sneaky villain of a woman who is both beautiful and skilled. She also knows how to be dastardly. She is one cool little b!#ch!

4. Jin Kazama-I can barely describe how intense and awesome this guy is. He is just about the best karate fighter even created, and he can kick nearly every butt he faces. He's really cool looking, too!

5. Paul Phoenix-Well, he's a judo fighter! I love his hairstyle, and there are very few Tekken fighters who are as good as him!

6. Bryan Fury-One of my favorite villains of all time. He is a well trained kickboxer, and nothing says dark and mean like his look. Gold-green skin, grey hair, and lots of silver scars.

7. Heihachi Mishima-The final boss in this game. He is a terrfic and challenging opponent and is also one of the top bad guys!

8. Hwoarang-Where to start? He's skilled in nearly every form of combat, he has some cool orange hair, and his getup is slick as can be. Also he seems to create explosions.

9. Craig Marduk-He is cool, don't get me wrong. He is big, strong and powerful, and can really give you a big struggle. That is, unless you play as King. Then you can kick the s--t out of him.

10. Marshall Law-The Bruce Lee of Tekken. He is not only a great fighter, he is also one of my favorites and I love him! He is an expert at martial arts, and his shirtless body shows huge muscle.

11. Kazuya Mishima-A minion of Heihachi. He is both nasty and vicious. In other words, he is a very well done evil villain.

12. Lei Wulong-He wears a neat outfit, and he has more skills than you can shake a fist at! Also has very dark black hair.

13. Julia Chang-She is both attractive and a butt kicker. She is a Native American naturalist who is a challenge to the majority of her opponents.

14. Steve Fox-This guy is a fabulous boxer. He is very powerful and fast, and his boxing moves were so sharp that he'd provide a challenge to someone as skilled as Muhammad Ali.

15. Christie Monterio-God, I love this woman. She is the last one in the "one of my favorites" category. She is beautiful and se*y, she has moves which make her a real butt kicker, and she has a very touching storyline in Tekken 5, the game right after this.

16. Lee Chaolan-Hey, this guy is pretty good! He has his way of fighting well, and he has a pretty snazzy look! He not so bad!

17. Panda-Well, she is cute. And plump. And funny. And she is a pretty damn good fighter, especially for the animal that she is and has the name of. In other words, she's pretty good, like Lee.

18. Kuma-He, too, is pretty good. He's VERY strong, and can give even King a run for his money. He is a grizzly bear, but is the best fighter of all grizzly bears, just like Panda is of pandas.

19. Ling Xiaoyu-I will say this much-she is sorta cute. And she's got her moves. Like the 3 above, she is, as I say, pretty good.

20. Violet-He's the last of the "pretty good" fighters. His big purple outfit is distracting, and he can fight good. Not as good as the fighters above, though. But he is still a decent warrior.

21. Combot-I HATE COMBOT! HE ABSOLUTELY SUCKS! Of all fighters I faced in Tekken 4 or any Tekken game for that matter, he was the easiest to defeat. He looks stupid, he acts dumb, and if you put all the Tekken games together, there are very few fighters more pathetic than this loser. Whatever, at least he's this game's only loser.

All in all, this is an A+++++ game. I love it to pieces, and if you have a Playstation 2, then I highly suggest and recommend you get this game. Oh, and Tekken is my second favorite beat-em up game of all time topped only by Mortal Kombat. And Street Fighter is in definite third place next to these two. Anyway, you have seen my review. Buy this well worth your money video game now.

YEEEEEHAW,I CANT WAIT..TEKKEN 4 OWNZ YOU

No, I do not own this yet for my PS2. But, I have played this in the arcade and may I say it just blew me away!

The graphics and gameplay are better than ever! With great, new interactive enviroments; including smashing into spectaters! They have also cahnged some of the fighting styles of the characters, including that good ole guy, Jin Kazama. There are even new outfits and portraits for each character we remember from the previous games.

Did I mention new characters? Well, there are! With great new fighting styles and spectacular moves and combos we all want to pull off. Also some great old moves, and great old characters. This by far has to be the best Tekken!

So I am going to buy it once it comes out! ...

Great game

I visit a Babbage's in my mall and there was a complete Tekken 4
game. It is Tekken 3 with more characters, more options, more graphics, more everything. NOT that there is ANYTHING wrong with that. It was enjoyable and my personal favorite part is the simple unlockables. Beating game = new characters, cinemas, etc. It doesn't try too hard as a game and therefore is very fun. No frustrations, just a very solid fighting game. And the addition of objects to throw your opponent into is awesome. I'm going to get it opening day and I suggest it to others, also.

It's Awesome

This game is one of the best games that Sony Playstation has ever made. It has awesome graphics. The characters look great. Adding a couple of new characters is cool. The stages are new and awesome. I have Tekken 3, Tekken Tag Tournament, and now Tekken 4. I have seen how much this game has evolved. It is outstanding with what the people that made Tekken 4 had put into it. It is the coolest, awesomest game you can get. I LOVE IT!!!

The graphics really show what Playstation 2 can produce

I was shocked how good the graphics when I was playing this game. I personally like the older tekkens better, but this is still a good game. I don't think its worth buying though before you rent it. The gameplay is good, but I miss the old charcters like Jack and Anna Williams. It's kind of good in a way that they didnt put alot of charcters in this game, because you know when a game really has alot of characters its too overwhelming. But when i was playing on the airport stage in this game I was just in love with it.

Another Tounament in the King of Iron Fist

I've been following Tekken since the first, so for all you new Tekken gamers out there, I'll give you some history. In Tekken 1, Kazuya throws his father, Heihachi off a cliff in the aftermath of the tournament. In Tekken 2, Heihachi reappears and throws Kazuya, who sold his soul to the devil, into a volcano. Tekken 3 and Tag aren't really important to the story so I'll skip them. In Tekken 4, Heihachi finds out that a cryogenics corperation has brought Kazuya back to life. He launches a raid on the company's headquarters and one of his soldiers finds Kazuya there. Heihachi then launches the King of Iron Fist 4 to lure Kazuya into his grasp.
Tekken 4, without a doubt, is the most detailed Tekken yet. At the beginning of story mode, the character's story is told along with stunning character art. It even tells the side characters' stories(a first for the series). Tekken force mode has been majorly upgraded since Tekken 3 and makes an excellent addition to the game. (I wish it had ball mode though. That was fun as hell.) Anyway, the endings are much more intricate as well. They usually consist of more story and character art, then a cut scene. The only exception is Christie, who is just a cut scene. Some of the endings intertwine and expand on eachother, like "ending triangles," if you will. These include [Heihachi, Kazuya, and Jin] and [Lei, Steve, and Nina]. And one more thing, TEKKEN FINALLY HAS INTERACTIVE ENVIRONMENTS!!! It's just about the last fighter not to and it really adds to the game. This game was great, but if your not interested in the story and just want it for 2p mode, get Tag instead. The fighting lasts longer and it has way more characters.

Average, very average

I've been a fan of the Tekken series since Tekken 2 hit the arcades in the mid 90's. I enjoyed the game because it was more accessible than any 2-d fighter. However, I found that Tekken is more of a party game with flashy moves, than a well rounded fighters.

Enter Tekken 4. I have loyally followed the Tekken series, no matter what game came out. I played Tekken 4 mostly at arcades, and I enjoyed it more than Tekken 3, but not more than Tag.

New to Tekken 4 are the best rendered characters ever seen in any Tekken game. The characters are true to life. Paul looks a little older, but not like someone pushing 50. However I love the costum where he wears black, have a shadow, and dress like a bum. You can even tell that King is mexican with his long black hair comming from his Tiger mask. Nina looks like a bone crushing assasin. And Christie, ummm despite being a cheap character, it great seeing her do those Coiepra(sp?) moves. All of the characters are gleeming with detail and more importantly personality. Which, unfortunately is not true for its peer Virtua Fighter 4.

As far as the sound goes, I can only ask, "what in the hell was Namco thinking". Where Tekken sported techno, appropiate for fighting, the music now is on par with elevator music. Its awful. my suggestion is to put your T.V set on mute and turn on the radio. There is nothing here worth hearing.

As far as gameplay goes, not much has changed. The biggest change is position change. A few characters have reversals, but nothing as elegant as VF. The game is also more 3-D than the previous outings. Even with the new limited arenas, you feel alot more free. However, despite these changes, Paul Phoenix, Nina, and Hetachi still dominate the game. Not alot of effort has gone into balancing. i think that is a shame, becaue I would have loved to see Xiayou or Lei become hard hitters. Combos still are the key to victory. And the king of the combos is of course Paul, Nina, and Hetachi.

Unlike its weapons based peer, Soul Caliber, Namco package T4 with absolutely no replay value. There are several characters to unlock, like Eddie, or Lee. But to be honest with you, they are just palette swaps of the newer versions of themselves, Christie and Violet. None of them even have slightly different moves. As you would find in Soul Calibur characters who bare similarities to already selectable characters. Anyay, you will unlock and beat the game with all of the chracters in a matter of days. After that, there is no more replay value. Tekken Force is a horribly cheesy game, and its not worth playin without Paul.

Either way, this game is not on par with VF4. As a matter of fact, Tekken doesnt even deserve to be compared to that masterpiece. The game could be so much more, but unfortunately, depht and balance are igonored for faster game play. Although this was acceptable in 1996, I cant see where fighting fans will tolerate it in the 21st century. This game gets a 3

GOOD but.....

Not much has changed in terms of the fighting engine since Tekken 3. It's good that they got rid of alot of the repetitive fighters they had in Tekken Tag. Graphics and Sound are great as always. The same problem creeps up with this game though that I found in all the Tekken games... there is no real technique involved to beating your opponent. It's still just a matter of bashing a few buttons and pulling off long drawn out combos. I used to love Tekken till I played Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution. In Tekken 4, a complete rookie can pick up a controller and bash the buttons like a madman and beat you by luck. In VF4 there is no way possible you would be able to pull off that stuff against a skilled VF player!! Even though Tekken looks better, it just cant compete with the massive fighting engine of VF4. That said, Tekken is a good game, easy to pick up by just about anyone who wants a quick beat-em-up. If you've mastered Tekken, want a new challenge and REALLY want to feel like you're fighting for your life, pick up Virtual Fighter 4 Evolution.

Awesome !!!! The best fighting game on ps2 !

This is an excellent addition to tekken series !! It is a "new" tekken ( unlike tekken tag, which is just all the characters from 1,2 and 3 with a tag option and no story.) Tekken 4 has awesome new characters along with all the best of the classic characters. The graphics rule and the moves are so awesome. You will love this game. It is way ABOVE average ( like other reviews may say.) I think it is the best in the series. Tekken is the one fighting series that does not dissapoint their fans.
