 Possibly the Best Fighting Game of the Current Generation |

+ Huge roster of over 40 well balanced characters with huge and unique move-sets
+ Solid online play (as of the latest patch)
+ Beautiful computer generated FMV's for character endings and in the scenario campaign
+ Easy to pick up and play for beginners but incredibly deep and difficult to master
+ Packed with loads of modes and extras including Scenario mode
- Scenario mode can be ridiculously frustrating and uninteresting at times
- The story may be hard to follow for those who haven't been keeping up with the series
- Some long load times
It's been four years since the last major installment hit consoles but I think it's safe to say it was worth the wait. Tekken 6's easy to pick up/tough to master gameplay leaves it as a great addition to the collection of any fan of fighting games while remaining welcoming to newcomers. The gameplay, while similar to previous installments has been tweaked for balance and fluidity and seen the inclusion of a couple of new features namely the Bound and Rage systems. Bound lets your smash a downed opponent into the air to continue an aerial juggle while Rage gives a large increase in damage once your health falls below a certain point. For new and intermediate players this is a great addition that gives hope even the most dire of situations but in the hands of an experienced player, Rage can easily lead to an insta-death combo.
With over 40 varied characters, you'll always feel like there's no way you'll have trouble finding a character you like and you'll always feel like there are new characters to master. Each character is extensively customizable through the in-game item shop where you can use the "Fight Money" you've earned from winning matches or through the scenario mode. With the amount of customization, it's no surprise that there was no need for character creation, though some items can be pricey and take some time to accumulate the wealth required for a purchase. Even so, Tekken 6 provides a neat way to personalize your character. Considering some other recent releases such as Street Fighter 4 where you had to pay real money for alternate costumes it becomes clear that Tekken really makes the effort to provide a large package in a single purchase.
All 40+ characters have their own story with their own CG ending, though the endings are somewhat short and in some cases utterly pointless, a good example would be Bryan Fury's ending which does nothing to further his story or character but just shows him doing the exact same thing he has been for the past few games, destroying stuff. Some endings however are really interesting and all of them are rendered beautifully.
Though each character has his or her own story, the main focus of the game's story are the characters Lars and Alisa. The scenario campaign follows these two characters through the backbone of Tekken 6's story. The story is pretty interesting if you let it pull you in but it can be confusing especially if you haven't played previous games. The structure of scenario mode in general is kind of wishy washy and tacked on. It plays like a brawler with RPG elements in the sense that you can improve on your scenario character with items dropped form enemies. Scenario mode has some really annoying instances and levels and becomes repetitive fairly quickly, however some players may like it. For those that don't however, you're out of luck since unlocking characters for single player revolves around Scenario mode, however for any mode based around versus all characters are unlocked off the bat. I feel that scenario mode could seriously have used some polish, instead of making all the characters available for scenario mode, it should have only integrated Lars and Alisa but spent a lot of time tweaking it to make it different and interesting by possible throwing in platforming, a better fixed camera and more varied enemies and bosses. I also feel like a lot of characters are kind of just throw into scenario mode whereas it would probably be a lot better if they would added into the story with a smoother transition. I hope for better in future games campaigns.
The graphics in Tekken 6 are the best in series by far though there are a couple of nicer looking fighters out there, the underlying engine is 2 years old and this doesn't really stick out except for in the cutscene in scenario mode. The console versions of the game do however run at 576p whereas I feel like they should have set the resolution to 720p to make everything look a little crisper.
The online play in Tekken 6, though a little wonky on release is now solid, with decent matchmaking and minimal lag. The game runs smoothly and online play is fun and addicting. The load times throughout are a little less than ideal though this is nothing game breaking, only a couple more seconds than you may be used to.
All in all, Tekken 6 is a brilliant addition to the series and a probably one of, if not the best fighting game of the current generation. With the number of modes, features and customization options this is definitely a game worth the purchase. |

| Not only did tekken live up to the hype, it is still a VERY addicting game, now with the addition to online play, competition is great and the fun keeps on going. Only major problem is that the scenerio campaign is lame and it is the only decent way of making money to buy customizable gear for your characters. |
Can't stop playing it. A high quality game.

| I had the first Tekken for PS2. I wore the stupid thing out. It was pretty cheesy back then. It's way better now and their is nothing cheesy about it. I play it all the time and have just stratched the surface on learning the online experience or the single player experience. If your not into all that role playing stuff, and just want to beat up people, this is for you. |
The Truth about Tekken 6

I have been following Namco for a extremely long time, dating back to my days with my PlayStation 1, so I do have creditability. This Tekken 6 video game is by far the best Tekken game one to date. A friend got this game, also with NBA 2K10 for Christmas,and I haven't been able to put this game down sense cracking the seal.
I'm a older fan of the franchise so I typically lean more towards the older characters sense their moves never really changed lol. I enjoy using my favorite figher in Kazuya Mishima. He is very strong and easy to use. I enjoy using his son and face of the franchise Jin Kazama as well even though his moves have slowly changed sense Tekken 3. Newer characters like Lars Alexandersson, whom happens to be Heihachi's long lost son are great also.
I have recently traded my copy of this game in for cash at my local Gamestop...... to buy the Tekken 6 Limited Edition Wireless Fight Stick Bundle off AMAZON. Gamestop is selling the limited edition version for 150 dollars!!! but right now you can catch it on sale up here for 65 dollars!! I"m ready to receive my TEKKEN JOYSTICK, TEKKEN 6 video game, and Limited Edition Artbook.You better grab it while you still can..I also picked up the guide which I fell was a great move...
If you're a fan of fighting games you'll love this title. I know I do!!! |
Exactly what he wanted.

| The game is awesome and it arrived fast despite the crazy holiday season. I bought it as an early Christmas present for my boyfriend. We opened it and played it immediately. It was hella fun and reminded me of the old Mortal Kombat and Tekken games that I used to play. Video games nowadays have left me in the dust. Now I can play more than just Rock Band with him. Oh and the pricing was second to none. I researched every website I could find and Amazon provided the best price for this new game. |
