Great game for a great system

This will be a great game to own for those eagerly fans awaiting a new Tekken title. The only problem I would see with it, is that the buttons. The GBA only has 2 buttons and another 2 on the shoulder side of the GBA. The only problem I would see, that the controls would be rather disturbing and uncomfortable. But why get this when you can get the eagerly anticipated Tekken 4 for PS2??? Which will be due out Spring 2002!!!!! Either way, all the games in the Tekken series have all been great in every aspect. So, expect this to be good as any other Tekken game.

Great game, but i wanted more...

Now that I have actually played and bought the game, i can safely say Tekken deserves the 4 stars i gave it. The gameplay is similar enought to T3 so that T3 players can jump right in. I found the new controls to be more "user friendly" than the four button and joystick scheme. I can finally pull off 10 hit combos and certain quickie moves. One thing i liked about the character roster: i was familiar with all of those characters (two things: no more Eddy "cheapo" Gordo!!). I would've liked to see True Ogre, Julia Chang, and Bryan Fury. Maybe there'll be a sequel (are you listening, Namco?!!)

Tekken is Heaven.

When I picked up a japanese game I ws surprised because it isn't what you would suspect at all. It is more of you actually have to know what you are doing and not beat anyone by pressing 25 buttons in a row... It is overall great though.

I KNOW This Game is Going to Rock!!!

This game is going to be a hit on the GBA system I just know it. I love the Tekken series and I'm going to be one of the first ones to buy it. I know, from a little research, that you can only play nine charicters, plus one little "suprise", from Tekken 3. If you love the Tekken series as much as I do, then I would highly advise you tou pre-order this, "Butt-Kicking-To-Go" handheld game.

looks cool

A reviewer said "it's not even out yet". Maybe not in America, but I just got back from Singapore (my home country) and played the game there in the beginning of January. It is out, and it is a great game. The graphics are really good even on the small screen, and though having only two regular buttons is limited, it can be overlooked. Come on, this is an affordable portable system! Tekken is a must have if you like this style of game (Tekken series, Virtua Fighter series, etc). The only reason I didn't buy it is that I spent all my money on Golden Sun, Tony Hawk 2, and Street Fighter before I saw it!

Great portable Tekken game..

Yes, you basically only have three attack buttons. B for kick, a for punch, and R1 for throws so you can imagine that you won't be able to pull off as many combos in the arcade. But despite that it's amazing how many of the regular characters' moves are actually in the game. You can still do cheapo air combos, play the hit and run game, or just tap your opponent constantly to annoy him. Characters included by default are Paul, Nina, Yoshimitsu, Jin, Hwoarang, King, Xiaoyu, Law, and Gun Jack with Heihachi as a boss. Graphics wise, it's pretty good although you can expect it to be pixelatted. Little worse looking than the original Tekken for PS1. You'l also notice the game feels a bit more sluggish than the PS2 or arcade versions of Tekken. Takes some getting used to but you'll probably eventually ignore this. It definitely doesn't have that smooth play feel like Tony Hawk. Fun factor for this game? Definitely a good port game for the Tekken player who's got time before finals or long waits at airports. The average player or Tekken haters probably might not like the game from the average/pixellated graphics or sluggish feeling controls at first. Still though, I loved the game being the Tekken fan that I am and it's nice to see my fav characters like Jin and Xiaoyu in a portable system. I just gotta wonder why in the world they included Gun Jack instead of Eddie Gordo? He'd have been a better choice.
