Tekken 4 is an okay game. I wouldn't reccomend it for anyone who likes to follow the characters' stories, because that's not what it's about. Tekken 4 only skims the surface of a good story game, which is O.K. considering this is a fighting game. Although character profiles are minimal, this game does offer a fair fighting system. The characters really are unique in thier fighting skills. The moves can get fairly flashy, although it is not in the league of Soul Calibur 2 or 3. The costumes are to be laughed at, and you only have 30 seconds to choose your character or it will be random. The combat can get very intense. The story mode offers you eight stages, and when you beat them you get an ending movie, like Soul Calibur 3. Tekken Force is a new mode and is a fun game. The sound tracks are not as good as Soul Calibur games. The characters are cool, still, because you can make up your own stories about them. And you can choose the character who does your favorite martial art. Paul does Judo, Hwoarang does Tae Kwon Do, and Lei Wulong does Kung Fu. Overall, however, I do not reccomend this game.

Buy only if you're a Tekken fan, Tekken game collector, or just want to play Tekken force

I don't really have this game. I only played this at an Internet Cafe. The opening movie was great, but the whole game was mediocre. The graphics suck. The stories are stupid. There are few characters.(20) The only reason I wanted to play this was because I wanted to play Tekken force. I tell you. Only buy this if you're desperate.

Yuck

I have loved the Tekken series for years. This is by far the worst there is. The controls are terrible along with the moves. Disapointing. I almost wish I never bought it.

The fourth installment of the Tekken series has finally arrived! This game is amazing! I give it an "A+" in graphics, gamplay, and amusement!

This games graphics are the best you can find around! If you ask me, the graphics in this game and it's sequel, Tekken 5, aren't that much different. In fact, I personally like this game's graphics better than Tekken 5's. This games graphics, absolutely no denying it, deserve an "A+", a 100%!

Another thing I liked about this game is it's tracks! This game has some different tracks played while fighting! They are not only different, they rock! They will keep your ears pretty amused! This game's tracks are something that I praise and acknowledge greatly.

Lastly, this game is a game that you do not get bored of easily at all! I personally love this game, and admire it even better than Tekken 5! It is just so awesome and original, and I personally think that it is the best installment in the Tekken series! This game has awesome gameplay, and awesome swift moves! Enjoy this games amazing and swift gameplay!

I praised this game as much as I can, but there is just one thing I must insult, and it is the lack of characters in the game! The game only has twenty characters in it, which is the only con/fault that I can find in the game! If the game had a few more characters, then it would have been the perfect Tekken game! Although Tekken 5 fulfills the character problem, since it provides about forty characters, I don't like it's gameplay as much as the original Tekken 4 style!

Rating: 9.7/10 Great game! A must buy for all die-hard fans!

Recommendation: Buy it! I can almost guarantee your 100% satisfaction! It is only $20.00, so go ahead and buy it!

Slick, sexy, smooth and... fun

Get ready for the next battle as Tekken 4 leaps into action and... I'm a bit short on ideas now but thatdoesntmatter THIS GAME RULES AND KAPUT! Not really but almost. As said, the game is slick (Christie Monteiro), sexy (Christie Monteiro), smooth (Christie Monteiro) and fun (playing as Christie Monteiro)! As the above hints my favourite character of Tekken 4 and Tekken 5 is Christie. Now to the real buisiness. Now don't say "It's just a Tekken 3 with better graphics" just yet, this is nothing like that.

The graphics are (as everyone says) totally awesome. All the characters (espessially -you guessed it- Christie Monteiro) look great and the animation runs really smoothly. The stages all look gorgeus ecxept for maybe Jungle and Building. Those look empty and rushed and are actually bad looking. All the special moves are well realised and just plain flashy.

Now for the sound. The music is great. Even though the stage Jungle looks horrible, the music is far from awful. Also, the music from Beach has lyrics. It goes like this: Barararababababara, oooooooooooooooooooooooooo, wah wah, oooooooooooooooooooo, wah wah, ooooooooooooooooo, wah wah waaaaaahhhhh etc. Also the music from the stage Arena is just great. Loud rock music and the crowd going crazy when you knock your opponets out just feels so great. Also, the voices are mostly good... Marshall Law on the other hand squeals like a stung pig but in his ending, he sounds normal. Whew.

The characters are a good choice but there should be much more. Like only 19 (19!!!) characters in the whole game sounds a little smug compared to Tekken 5's 30! Here is a rundown of my top 5 characters.

#1. Christie Monteiro (Regular, thank god)
I HAD to pick her first. She is like my all time favourite. She controles just like an another favourite, Eddie Gordo, but still rocks. She is like so awfully sexy. How can you resist? I can't.
10/10

#2. Ling Xiaoyu (Regular, great)
My second favourite (In Tekken 4 at least :P) and is awfully cute. Her outfits are thankfully better than in the last two games (Tekken 3 and Tekken Tag, oh my) and even Tekken 5. She also looks sexier than in Tekkens 3, Tag and 5.
9.5/10

#3. Nina Williams (Unlockable, crud)
Many guys see her as a villain but I actually see her as a good guy, silent assassiness (6 s's Tee hee). Her story is disturbing but skip the opening and there are 6 minutes (or so) of joy in the story mode.
7/10

#4. Jin Kazama (Unlockable, WTF?!?)
Jin's back. Yay. But he is unlcokable this time. Boo. He has a boring story but skip the cut-scenes and then he rocks.
7/10

#5. Steve Fox (Regular, I don't care)
he is just about average. Crazy mafia story and no kicks are some of his downfalls, superspeed and awesome punches are a plus.
6/10

Pros.
1. Christie Monteiro... still
2. Plenty of ladies to choose from (I am a boy if you haven't noticed)
3. Smooth foghting system
4. Sidesteps
5. Ling Xiaoyu
6. It's Tekken. What's not to like?
7. Lots of returning members of the Tekken club
8. Jin Kazama having a new fighting style
9. Eddie being playable by pressing triangle at Christie when the game is beaten with Christie (Same story still)
10. Tekken Force. Best played with Christie or Nina (Both sexy gals)

Cons.
1. Heihachi's costume. A dieper that looks like a thong. Eeeeeeewww
2. Nina's story. So disturbing
3. Jin's story. So boring
4. Christie's ending. So girly
5. Christie not getting the attention she deserves

Graphics: 10 Looks good and runs so smoothly. P.S: Christie is SEXY!!!
Sound: 09 Great music and awesome voices. P.S: Christie sounds SEXY!!!
Gameplay: 10 Awesome and almost smoother that Christie's skin P.S: Christie even plays SEXY!!!
Lifespan: 10 Play never or forever... the second one then. P.S: Christie is SEXY!!!

Final Verdict
Awesome. Like a box full of fireworks. Only lasting about forever :D!!!

Better Together
Tekken 4 + Tekken 5

Go get it.
NOW!!!

P.S: Worth buying for Christie alone... which is SEXY!!!
P.P.S: Christie is sexy.
P.P.P.S: Christie is hot.
P.P.P.P.S: CHristie is... you get the idea.

Just buy it.

The End.

Adios.

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.

This is the fourth instalment of the awesome Tekken series. This game's story is this - Hiehachi anounces the 4th tournament 2 years after the 3rd. The prize, the entire Mishima Ziabotsu(I think that means the entire company Heihachi created). He uses this to lure out his son, Kazuya, and grandson, Jin, because he wants something with the devil gene, or something.

Pros:
*Finally, good graphics for a REAL tekken game.
*Christy.
*The return of my favs(see tekken 3).
*Interactive backgrounds.
*Fun game modes.

Cons:
*Hiehachi wears a thong like diaper.
*There is too much devil gene stuff in it.

This is the second Tekken game on the PS2, but the first one with a story to it. This is a great buy.

Great Tekken

Use Practicemode if you are eager to be a better player.
Ultrahard level CPU is awesome.
Tekken's key is to see moves of your enemy very consiously.
Gard, gard, gard and shot it when enemy can't move.

Tekken IV: Review

5 Rating: 5, Useful: 1 / 3

Despite what people say about ths video game, Tekken IV is probably one of the better fighting games out there. It sticks realism and actual fighting technquies without falling into the all out and full-blown fantasy like other fighters such as Soul Calibur(?) and Mortal Kombat do (Which isn't a bad thing but sometimes its best just to stick to reality). Since I've never played the previous three Tekken Games and I have only read backgrounds and summaries for them I can only give you a review on what I know so far.

The Graphics in this game is some of the best I've seen, I was blown away the first couple of times when playing this game. The CGI-3D graphics had a glossy look to them and I was almost convinced that it looked totally life-like, but flaws in the graphics kept me from that edge. Its a lot better than what Namco usually has in this particular department. The body models for the characters range from different sizes (naturally), and the faical features for each is mind-boggling. The stages in this video game aren't specatular, far from it, but they have a realistic feel to it, espically the enviroments with water.

My favorite Stage is the Arena; the roar of the crowd and the rock music playing the background really gets me going. There are several fighting modes: Practice, Arcade, Survival, Vs and Time attack, Story-mode, Training and as you know and two unlockable ones in which you unlock by playing the Steve-Fox story-mode and the all-new Tekken Force mode.

The story modes for most of the characters are full of details and are intruiging with their own CGI cut scenes. However, by the worst story-mode (SPOILER) has to be Lei Wulong's; the plot wasn't bad but afterwards you get nothing but Lei saying "Freeze!" or grunting when he's chasing after Nina Williams: Stupido. But all in all this game is pretty solid the fighting is smooth and never feels clunky and the animations for the characters are great as well. One last note, the voice acting for the characters is Okay at best. A majorty of the voice telents (mainly for, Xiao, Jin, Kazuya, his father, Julia, Nina Williams, and Yoshimitsu) do a great job for their characters, but then there are some voice talents that really don't fit the character and really have no talent when it comes to this profession. The voice actors for Marshal Law and Howrang(?) are laugable and not believable. The music has been said to be horrible, I think it goes quite will with the game and its stages, although it does have its annoying points but its far from horrible. Lastly, Tekken IV is a solid game worth buying and worth adding to your Tekken or fighting collection. --- [a 5 out of 5]
