| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Welcome return to form for an old master.
Ahh, the Tekken series. Probably the most influential series of 3D fighting games outside of the Virtua Fighter games. Tekken 5 is a welcome return to form for this true master of the genre. With the 4th game just a distance memory, this takes the series forward (or back, depending on how you look at things). Tekken 5 uses the tried and trusted Tekken gameplay, while still making everything feel fresh. Characters, that once before were just mere clones of certain main ones, are now fully fleshed out - with moves of their own. Anna Williams for example, is now not a clone of her sister Nina.
<br />
<br />When people mention Tekken, they usually think of people who have mastered every single command and move, while spending hours upon hours practising to hone their 'mad skillz' - as it were. Making the game unplayable for beginners to the genre. This, I think, is far from the truth. Tekken 5 welcomes new and veterans to the series alike. Whereas button-bashing pretenders to Tekken's crown, coughDeadorAlivecough, leave you feeling somewhat cold. Tekken on the other hand leaves you feeling a great sense of satisfaction when you play. Yes, Tekken 5 has its button-bashing characters - but every single character IS unique... and how unique they look! Arguably the best looking PS2 game to date. With gorgeous backdrops, fluid, realistic animation and textures that would look at home on any next-gen console.

<br />Music wise, it's back to form mix between techno/dance we've come to know and love from Tekken. The least we say about Tekken 4's music the better! You've got your usual Story mode to run through with each character. To see why they've entered the tournament, etc. But this 5th edition borrows the human AI mode of Virtua Fighter 4. This has replaced the Arcade mode in name, and pits you against humans who have uploaded/downloaded their data from the Tekken arcade machine from all over the world. It's a welcome challenge, even though it doesn't even compare to | 5 | 773 days ago | I Love this Game!!!
In terms of overall quality, this game is light-years better than Tekken 4. The graphics are terrific, the gameplay has improved dramatically, and they got rid of that annoying position change feature. I especially love the customization feature. My only problem is playing against Jinpachi, who usually takes me about 15 tries before getting a lucky shot to beat him. Other than that, this game is terrific. | 4 | 773 days ago | The best Tekken yet
With Tekken 5, the folks at Namco have crafted the best edition yet of the long running fighting franchise. Featuring a horde of fighters, undoubtadly the best lineup yet, Tekken 5 features the same deep gameplay and combo mechanics that will keep you playing for quite some time. And because it's Tekken, there's a bevy of hidden characters and features to unlock as well. There's no Tekken Force mode this time around, and instead there is Devil Within, a segment that is similar to Tekken Force where you play as Jin Kazama as he battles his way to learn of the devil gene within him. It's not much to write home about in itself, but there's more features to behold here as well, including the addition of playing the arcade versions of Tekken 1, 2, and 3 as well as the Namco shooter Starblade. The graphics are improved and the backgrounds have been revamped as well, all helping make Tekken 5 the best fighter not just for the PS2, but for home consoles in general. For veterans to the series and newcomers alike, Tekken 5 is a masterpiece, and essential to every PS2 owner's library. | 5 | 773 days ago | Can be very frustrating!!
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. | 1 | 773 days ago | Demons Rule
This is a vary good game one of the best on the PS2 these are my top ten favorite fighters
<br />1) Asuka Kazama
<br />2) Christie Monteior
<br />3) Ling Xiaoyu
<br />4) Kazuya Mishima
<br />5) Jin Kazama
<br />6) King
<br />7) Eddy Gordo
<br />8) Nina Williams
<br />9) Anna Williams
<br />10) Devil Jin
<br />The only bad thing is Jinpachi Mishima cant be unlocked which sucks the DevilWithin mini game is ok Arcade is ranked overall the games is awsome and addicting you'll be playing for hours on end later. | 5 | 773 days ago |
