If you look in the kids review section, there is a very nasty review about Tekken 5. And now, to the pervert who wrote this review, I'm now talking to you!! First of all, if this game caused your pants to fill up with crap, why did you rate it with 5 stars. Second, dude, don't talk about animal porn. It's da bomb!! And third, did you ever think that anyone was eating while they read your review?? Cuz I was, and my bean burrito went everywhere !!! So please don't write sick reviews anymore !! by The wAy , YouR PunctUation IS Very bAd !!!

Sure it looks good and the gameplay is ok but the final boss (Jinpachi) is really cheap and lame! Even at the "easy" difficulty, just a couple of hits from this freak and you're dead! The Devil Within mini-game is also stupid, some levels are just impossible and too hard. I wouldn't mind it if you could save your game whenever you want to or at least just before some critical part of the game but unfortunately that is not the case here, not to mention some save points are hidden. Imagine getting through the most boring levels doing extremely tedious yet dumb puzzles, spending around 2 hours or more to get to the boss level, then finally finding yourself trying over and over to beat the boss until you just give up but you can't save your game, then you're gonna have to redo the entire level again!!! That is one sick stupid game design! The only reason I'm playing this mini-game is just to get the hidden items.

It's Good... But....

I was very excyted when thys game hit the shelves.. I'm overseas... so we get games late... I'd already heard fantastic reviews about it... and was anxious to play the next generation of fyghters... My brother and I currently play Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution...

Well, my gyrlfriend and I were the fyrst to play Tekken 5... We played 82 straight VS matches... Each character had a lot of moves available... and I eventually stuck with Nina to try and figure her moves out... When my gyrlfriend's fingers gave up on her... I settled in for a good die hard practice session and that's when I decyded I would styck with Evolution forever...

See... Practice mode in Virtua Fighter - They will show you the button combo on the top of the screen... P,P,K. ... With Tekken 5, you get 2 characters facing each other... you have to pause, select the character move lists, P,P,K... then go back to the game and see if you execute it correctly... In V.F.4 - when you complete the move correctly, it will display the character's next move in their move list... In Tekken you get nothing... Which is pathetic.. because Nina has a 17 hit combo... am I supposed to look at the move list, then execute it... How am I supposed to learn thys... It sucks..

Next up is fyght school... V.F.4 has a great tutorial mode where you take your player and perfect your skills.. for example.. you may have to punch and dodge ryght... If you do thys successfully, it will graduate you to another task... Thys feature is totally myssing in Tekken 5... thus adding to the steeper learning curve...

Thys totally sucks... Sigh... The game is beautiful visually... and it's a button masher... My gyrlfriend and her syster battled each other using the circle button exclusively... I teased them about it, then found myself doing it...

I thynk I will leave Tekken 5 alone and play a greater fyghting game... Virtua Fyghter 4 Evolution.. it may be an oldie but it's definitely styll the best... Rent or buy them & compare for yourself...

Peace..~G

Tekken 5: Nothing new ... maybe even a little dull :|

I bought Tekken 5 in April and have had it for a couple of months now. I really love the customize option, but the gameplay has gotten dull now. I have all the other Tekkens and now I realize to myself: I know all the moves and what to expect from each fighter, so now all the surprises are gone. The arenas are also boring; you can't even throw your opponents from the tops of buildings or through walls, none of that good stuff.

Namco needs to revamp Tekken (I heard they where making a completely new set of characters for Tekken PS3). They need some multi-tiered arenas and lots of new fighters. Hopefully the next Tekken will have this.

Teken 5 rocks!!

This game is awsome because the graphics are beutiful and the voicing is awsome as well.Plus the opening movie is so cool I watch it every time i play it.The Devil Within mode is not as cool as the arcade mode,but i still get a kick out of it.I recomend this game to Teken fans,figting fans,Namco fans,and people who can't get anough martia arts!!!!!!!!!!

Less than ideal

I have always been a fan of fighting games. As far as 3D ones go, I have great experience in the Dead or Alive series and proficiency with Soul Calibur 2. I fear that Dead or Alive and Soul Calibur may have spoiled me though. Recently I bought Mortal Kombat Deception and found it horribly awkward* compared to the fluid battles of Soul Calibur or Dead or Alive. I felt the same way when I played Tekken 5. Unlike the graceful and awesome animations of Dead or Alive or Soul Calibur, the movements of the characters in Tekken 5 are unrealistic and absurd. Try out Christie in Tekken 5 for example. Her idle animation is preposterous. If you have access to Dead or Alive 3, try putting out Leifang. Her idle animation is a thing of beauty. Every one of her moves flows perfectly from one to the next. This kind of grace is seriously lacking in the clunky Tekken 5.

And now let us speak of character design. Tekken 5's characters are boring and uninspired. They run the gamut from miscellaneous boxer 1, 2, 3, and 4, to miscellaneous karate fighter 1, 2, 3, and 4. Oh. There are also a few shrieky girls in tight clothing, some of which seem to be Asian, if that's your thing. And then there's a guy in a cat mask. As awesome as that sounds, it looks silly in the game.

If you have ever played Practice Mode on Dead or Alive you will probably recall with fondness that there is a feature that shows each move command at the top of the screen and keeps it there until you successfully perform that move. This feature, as useful as it is, is not present in Tekken 5. To be fair, it isn't found in any other fighting game that I have played, but it really should be.

Without further ado, let me simply say that I do not recommend buying Tekken 5 if you have ever played Soul Calibur or Dead or Alive. The intro video is about as much excitement as the game can offer (I especially enjoyed the suicidal bicycle girl that rescued the kitten).

*But at least Mortal Kombat Deception had Puzzle Kombat, which rocked my socks.

Tekken is morphing!!

"YES!! TEKKEN 5" I yelled at the top of my lungs, running to the arcade to get my sweaty hands on top of those already greasy smelly , germ filled joysticks....I would go through anything to play a new Tekken game...or so I thought. Nevertheless when heading to the arcade it was already packed (duh japan right). Though I waited my turn and eventually headed to the station. When first playing the game I was amazed by the graphics but was equally discouraged due to the terrible music....Its like cheap techno made by pots and pans. Anyways everyone their seeing me as a foreigner laughed their asses off when seeing me sit down....Wondering why I soon did. Picking some of my favorite characters like Jin and Kazuya and even Law I lost everytime no contest. But I then picked Raven (One character I never experienced due to the newness of the game). I said what the hell and just started going berserk on the keyboard....What do you know I beat the opponent and was feeling proud...Well not really. All I did was press a whole bunch of buttons. It feels like Tekken is changing. Me being the giant Tekken fan I am (Not big enough to make my own joystick pad)* knew that playing Tekken was no laughing matter and it took all skill from what I remember. But Tekken 5 has turned a new coin over. As I pulled out my few more yen out for exchange for tokens I immediatley stopped my hand for the outcome of that deed. I knew what was going to happen. Either I randomly press buttons and win or play like I mean it and loose. So I waited until my friend got it. I bought it too around 4 weeks ago being in the heart of Tokyo but I was confused on what Namco is doing. I called up some of my friends and we e-mailed the Namco designers themselves. They described their need in changing Tekken from its former self. If I recall Soul Calibur and its series was full of pointless punching and kicking and took no skill at all. Similar to the great hit Guilty Gear which involved no skill whatsoever. So what do I do...I complain my heart out. Tekken is turning into sh*ty old Soul Calibur who wants that. The music sucks and so does the fighting systems. I loved the old Tekken I think i'll just stick to that. I am a diehard tekken fan and still love tekken but whoever you are rent tekken before you waste your money. If only I could get my hands on Soul Reaver!!

board of it quickly to easy

This game was okay it was to quick meaning the bar health like virtua fighter, soul calibar, and dead or alive the bar health goes down to fast being that the attacks are powerfull that makes the game less as fun cause you play for like 1 minute then the computer is defeted or you are defeted thats to quick but this game was okay the story mode sucked and this is kinda the same as part4 so this was an okay game if you want to play it then rent it its not worth buying.

Great First Time Play but Tekken is No Leader

Tekken 4 without a TAG TEAM option that its processor had makes it only half of what it could have been. This school of thought is no different with Tekken 5 that just does what its predecessors did with more characters (need never buy Tekken 4 again) has the improved graphics engine look but there is no doubt that Tekken 6 will have everything that I am asking for and is sitting on a hard drive inside Namco HQ right now as we speak waiting to grab an extra few bucks when this quick fix entry is dead, so what if you included Tekken 1, 2 and 3 on this DVD - if we wanted that we would have asked for it! We WANT TAG. We wanted this as 4. Delivering on 4 that was half of this is just begging for attention from me, so Namco is going to get it!

Fans of the series know what I am talking about. Sadly Tekken is not what is used to be because it does not lead anything anymore... or should I say for long. TAG is the best Tekken game that is let down in the graphics department (moving map backgrounds and character animations) but the map background bug I have noticed is back in Tekken 5, so I question how much is `new' here. Also the graphics are not beyond what "Virtual Fighter 4: Evolution" had to offer and is the main reason why Tekken needed a graphics boost in the first place and now, in 2005, Tekken matches VF4, maybe a little better detail in Tekken 5, but this asks the question what more does 2005 have to offer? I would guess lots better than Tekken 5. If you look closely at the new map impact system you can see that once something cracks, the crack effect disappears after making its impact so after a few games it sort of looks like the animation is coming from your characters more than the maps. I don't think the new world smashing system is wrong, it just could be better at this stage, however like Tekken 4 things do break and there seems to be more of it.

The characters in Tekken 5 and the quality of the animations are the only reason to jump at getting Tekken 5, but when you have opened everything and played all the models and your friends have had a few rounds, it starts to sink in that this is what Tekken 4 should have been, last year. To be honest Namco's Tekken entries since the initial release of the PS2 have done nothing but knock this fighter flat on its face, but before we get to the cons lets talk a little about the pros. Tekken 5 corrects a number of Tekken game play issues, like Tekken 4's limitation to a shocking 10 players, reducing it by 20 from the previous 30 player staggering TAG entry, Tekken 5 now has the same. Tekken 4 also gives us an extra one-player level fight setting and improves on the graphics, even the colourful design looks better, provides more moves for each character (but not much just a little more) and corrects the TAG fight move-sharing problem meaning that most characters do not share many moves which is good. So if you are looking for more unique moves per character then Tekken 5 has it (4 is gone), however TAG wins Tekken 5 in terms of its lifespan and game play (even if you own Tekken 5 or 4 friends will still ask you to put this disc in), so the tag game play makes TAG a better buy. Tekken 5 does not solve the old `this character is better than that character' syndrome that 4 solved. Some characters just rule others by default of button bashing, Tekken 4 is more balanced than 5, but 5 is a more fluid fighting game when characters are not mismatched.

However TAG rulez Tekken 5 and this is bad news for Namco because this game is not even remotely close to the kind of quality that they could have delivered on... and believe it or not, Tekken TAG isn't a whole pile better either. The PS2 has not had the good Tekken gamer it deserves which is bad because Tekken is for the PS2! This one gets 3 stars like 4 because it is nothing NEW and by this stage should be. I know they are just sitting on TAG for 6, so BAH! AVOID if you can unless you really need a game (get MGS3: Snake Eater instead) and certainly wait for other 2005 games, get this when it goes cheap platinum style.

Pros:
- Better graphics than TAG and 4.
- 30 characters and some new ones.
- Did not deliver anything expected of the Tekken series by 2005.
- Nice animations

Cons:

- NO TAG!
- Background glitches and character mismatching are back.
- Done it all before.
- We know they just want to sell TAG as Tekken 6. So wait for 6.

tekken 5 is a little bit corny

This is the best game ever, but it's corny, like me. So please god, BUY IT !!! You will be disappointed, but you'll be happy while you're disappointed. My favorite part in the game is when you get to actually fight, but the Tekken games are getting a little old. I mean, come on !! Is there anybody who knows what the heck Tekken means ?? So, the bottom line is that this game is pretty entertaining, especially if you're a Tekken fan. But new Tekken players beware!! Find out what a Tekken is first before you play !!
