The best Tekken game for all time period.

Clearly, this Tekken 5 is the best fighting game and it is the best Tekken series for all time period based on these points:
1. Graphics are tremendous.
2. Characters are fantastic including some new characters like Raven, Asuka and Feng. Also, there are some returning characters since Tekken 2 or 3 (excluding Tekken Tag Tournament) like Bruce, Baek, Mokujin and Anna. All new and old characters are perfect.
3. Game play is good, not a very tough one.
4. The Tekken: Devil within mini game is a tough game but the graphics are much better than the Tekken force in Tekken 4. Well, it is hard to beat this game but try it.
So, based on these three I mention above. I say it is fantastic. Recommended.

Tekken 5 is alot better than Tekken 4, but the boss of Tekken 5 takes a lot of practice. I beat him by grappling him the whole time.

improvement is always good

If you read my tekken 4 review you'll notice that once againg I put the same rating. Reason being One:great improvements have been made but I still don't see Namco take the Ps2 to the limit as it has done with the Soul Calibur series,Two: you can only grade this game with stars in only 2 categories so its no easy to grade improvement without giving what would seem like a perfect score.Now on with the review.This game gets better every time. Vast improvements,and awesome little bonus make this game a must have the graphics have gotten a major overhaul, moves have been added (The best part of being and air juggler fan is the ability to do an in your face air grab to add insult to injury .And look cool doing it)the new moves are simply stunning, the characters movements and combos seem smooth as always , some characters outfits went back to old School thank you namco limited I dont think I could have take My favorite character (King)in another cheezie costume .The character customization are great,you get to play tekken 1,2and 3 in their original arcade greatness plus if your felling a little nostalgic for tekken Force try jin the Devil within the controllers are simple and you can pull a decent array of combos in jin's arsenal plus you can unleash your alterego on unsuspecting foes once you pass the game with all the characters each of their endings will remain on theather mode so you can crack againg and again to Lee's ,Marshal and Panda's endinds plus you'll enjoy the awesome opening,trailers and E3 teaser.the background department has gotten better ,but if you still manage to see little errors while beating the snot out your opponents you Know it needs improving after all when the damage ground banishes in front of your eyes gets a bit distracting although ,its very forgiveable given all the goodies pack in this new wonderfull installment in the series.in short worth every penny and you get 4 games if you happened to miss one and if you did. Why did you?.

Tekken 5: Tekken to its limits

This new Tekken game is hands down the best Tekken game so far. It holds 30+ characters, with 27 old charcters, and 3 new (Raven, Asuka, and Feng). The graphics are stunning. Parts of the floor crumble every time you hit it hard. I just got it 3 days ago, so im not great. Even on easy mode, the last boss is impossible. *SPOILER WARNING* The last boss, Jinpachi Mishima, is this impossible dude with a mouth on his stomach. Don't think its there to make him uglier (weel thats one of its uses) it can shoot this cheap shot fire blast that is unblockable, and takes away about 2/3 of your total max health. You have to doge. An even cheaper move, when you attack him, he paralyzes you with this dumb lightnuing move. Doen't do damage, but stuns you long enough fohim to hit you with a powerful lightning filled attack (or cheap shot fire). So much for Hunting Hawk! *END SPOILERS(which weren't really spoilers, because i experienced Jinpachi's flame on hour one)*

Great Tekken Game

All the Tekken games are great, but they've always been missing something. The thing was, you could play Tekken for hours and get no reward other than self-satisfaction. Now, you get money. You can play arcade matches for days and get money to buy things to put on characters while increasing the rank of your favorites and, as the manual says, learning new skills. I haven't confirmed this new skill buisness, but I haven't reached legend rank yet. About the money: while you can't make characters have insane things on them, it is interesting to see different variations on your favorites. You can make Kazuya look really cool with glasses, iron shoulder pads, and a gun on his belt. You can rig out King with a bamboo stick. You can give Nina a katana for her back. While of course you can't use these weapons and objects, it is cool to see your favorite characters carrying them around.

The game has more characters than tekken 4, and about the same amount as tekken tag. Alot of old favorites are there such as baek, anna, and roger. There are also 4 new ones. The main boss is cheap beyond belief. He has this one ground stomp attack that knocks you off balance for at least 3 seconds. His flame strike thing takes away half your health. He can cast his flame thing two times in a row, meaning it's really hard to dodge. I figure most pros will consider him to be too cheap to play and, without saying anything, agree to not use him. Raven is a really cool ninja with some interesting combos where he flips around and stuff. Asuka is a replacement for Jun. Feng is a Chinese dude who has really powerful punches and kicks.

The story mode is basically the same as Tekken 4. Now, around match 4 and 7, you will see two cinematics in which your character confronts two of their enemies. There are some interesting things to see now. If you lose against Paul with Law, you will see a short cinematic. If you lose against Raven with Yoshimitsu, you will see a goofy cinematic in which Raven tries to teach Yoshimitsu something new. Little things like this will make the story mode more interesting. My only complaint is that nothing is really resolved. Throughout the Tekken series, no rivalries have been resolved at all. Most of the time, the creators seem to get bored and spark new rivalries, yet they never resolve old ones.

There is a new mode that's like tekken force, only it's for Jin alone. I haven't tried it yet, but there is a save feature, meaning that it is probably somewhat longer than the normal tekken force.

The last new thing in the game is the voice acting. Some characters, like Nina, sound exactly like they should. Some characters, like Paul, could sound better. Yet, some characters, like Law, sound nothing like what they should. It's laughable that Law speaks fluent English, yet two seconds later he is making fighting grunts like Bruce Lee. Once you hear him speak, you will be confused as well. Some character voices have been changed. Steve now has a strong British accent. While I don't mind British accents, this is not what he sounded like in Tekken 4. In Tekken 4 he didn't speak alot, but he did say some things at the end of matches and at the last cinematic. Now, he has this very thick British accent which I can't imagine getting use to. Christie's voice has been changed as well, yet it sounds fine.

I love this new Tekken. The creators tried to increase the replayability, while respecting fans of the game. They accomplished that.

Truly the best Tekken to date!

I've played this game a few times now and truly believe it is the best of all the installments.

The graphics are amazing. The characters look so life-like, even their clothes move along with the wind currents and the fabric looks so real. Tha backgrounds are among the best in Tekken as well. 5/5

The game's music is... well, Tekken like. They set the mood with the backgrounds and fully immerse you in the fight. I love! the intro theme's. 4/5

The story line continues after Tekken 4. If you've played all the games, you truly feel like you've been a part of everyone's adventure personally. All the fighters have their own reasons to fight and make you emotionally attached to them. This is one of the best fighter franchises' out there, right along with Street Fighter and The King of Fighters, even though they haven't had any SERIOUS games out for a while. (Capcom, where's CVS 3!?) 5/5

The gameplay is outstanding. SOooo much better then Tekken 4. They took what was great about Tekken 3 and tag, and intergrated it with the pro's of Tekken 4 fighting. No more cheesy unlimited combo's like in tag, but not the bland fighting from Tekken 4. (even though asuka revives juns cheese, but I dont mind, you wont beat me anyways ;-) ) Every character has fantastic moves all their own. You have to master your own person to truly appraciate what they can do. Moves are easy to do and controls are excellent. This is my fav. reason for getting this game. Everyone has a chance without having to learn how to cut the cheese. Great for new-comers as well. 6/5!

Extra's are an "extra" reason to keep playing even more. :-D With lots of unlockable characters and mastery chain to climb, you'll be fighting your little heart out. The changable outfits are such! a plus. Even though it's the first time they do this, I already want more outfit choices, lol. This game also includes Tekken 1, 2, and 3 along with an added game for Jin. 5/5

Overall, Namco tought of everything they could to please the fans, and we greatly appreciate it!

Fun with Tekken 5

It's been a while since I last played a Tekken. I had a brief experience with Tekken Tag Team which was a lot of fun. But the last Tekken I'd played primarily was Tekken 3. Tekken 5 blows it completely out of the water, as one would expect. It's got the most amazing graphics, which comparing it to Tekken 1-3 (which comes included in the game) makes those characters look like mutants.

The new stages and music are absolutely stunning. A far cry from Tekken 3. Though Tekken Tag Team was fun since one could almost interact (kill) the spectators. The stages are uniquely amusing since one can travel to a lovely country side (by a church?), to a pool party, and beyond (space: the final frontier)!

I suppose my only main complaint would be that Xiaoyu looks too old to be acting the way she does (disturbing), and that Law looked completely different: unrecognizable until I looked at his Move List. That and the thumbnails for the characters were pretty tiny.

On a side note, it seemed that Tekken decided to include one of those overpowered bosses that takes off about 1/3+ HP with every hit in their Story Mode. Difficult, but fun once you get the hang of it.

Over all this game was a lot of fun with the inclusion of a few new characters, and new moves. The fighting is smooth and slick with the hope that the opponent does not spend his entire time crouching. Steve will always make me laugh since I tried to use him without looking at his list. Needless to say I was quite surprised to find out that he had absolutely no ability to kick whatsoever (I hadn't known he was a boxer at the time). Rather, he dodged in his Boxer style. He does have an amusing toe stomp ability though, a cheap way to take off quite a bit of HP quickly and cheaply.

Top notch from the Tekken franchise so far. Can't wait to see what they'll come out with next.

Is Tekken 5 Tekkenlicious?

I own all of the Tekken games, inlcuding Tekken Tag. I have to say that I was a little dissapointed with Tekken 4 for two reasons
1. You can not jump when the other character is down
2. There are so very few characters to play with

So I am very glad that Tekken 5 changed the mistakes it made in Tekken 4. You can jump when the other character is down again, and there are plenty of characters!

I think there were only like 19 characters in Tekken 4. But there were a great many 30 characters in Tekken 5! All your favorite characters are back, plus some new ones.

In this game, you have to fight Jinpachi at the last stage. Now, this is my only complaint about the game... Jinpachi can be so hard that it makes you want to rip your hair out. At least I felt like that a few times. So I wish it hade a Very Easy mode. That way little kids would be able to have fun and beat the game.

So overall, this is a great game that deserves to be recognized with the other great Tekken games. I even heard that Tekken is the undisputed best fighting game ever! I hope that is true. It's definitely true for me.

I give it 5 stars.

De lo mejor
