Almost two years ago to the day, when 1UP reviewed Tekken 5 for PS2, they gave the game a generously high score, based less on the quality of Tekken 5's gameplay and more on the fact that it offered a virtual history of Tekken all on one disc. Sure, the collection aspects added fan service and replay incentive and the Devil Within mode offered Namco's now-customary extra bonus mode, which was a fun -- if disposable -- secondary diversion. But now that Namco has seen fit to offer what is clearly 1) one of the fledgling PlayStation Network's downloadable killer apps and 2) a clear middle finger to Sega (nice timing, releasing it hot on the heels of Virtua Fighter 5's release), Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection -- stripped of its auxiliary modes -- must stand on the merits of its own limited gameplay. How does it fare?
Join Dave as look back at every Tekken game ever produced, and how Namco evolved the series and the technology over the years.
Sirus Gaming: Tekken 7 will be launching later (tomorrow for US), and it’s time for us to go back to its main predecessors and rank them from worst to best.
Tekken tag tournament 2 is probably my favourite (still didn't play 7 unfortunately)
Others would be: 5, 3, tag1, 2
Tekken 4 gets a lot of hate, but it has the best story, atmosphere and soundtrack in the series IMO. Sure the gameplay was very unbalanced thanks to the new stuff they tried out but I'd pick it over Tekken 1 any day of the week.
I'd probably agree with the rest of the list, more or less.
Was never a huge fan of the Tekken series but I always loved their presentation, characters and cinematics.
The latest one is just all out epic, especially the last battle between Kazuya and Heihachi.
Following its official release in other territories this autumn, The Ling Xiaoyu Bishoujo Statue is now officially available throughout Europe. The latest addition to the popular line of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Bishoujo Statues, Ling Xiaoyu is based on a new illustration by master Japanese illustrator Shunya Yamashita.
When the hell will this be available in Canada?
Well I guess its true Graphics dont always matter. Im having more fun with this "Last Gen" fighter than I have had with Virtua Fighter 5... I might be trading My Virtua Fighter in Towards Motorstorm....lol
