Tekken 6

Tekken is probably one of the best fighting games made, next to Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. Just this past week Namco released their newest installment in Tekken 6. Personally I love Tekken, maybe because it really takes no skill to win due to the fact that mainly just a button masher, or the fact that everyone seems like they are on steriods and kick the crap out of each other. Nevertheless, Tekken never fails to disappoint, but will it be better than games previous? Here is my review.

Tekken has been around forever. I can remember playing Tekken 2 on PS1 and it being amazing. But Tekken has make tons of progress since then. Adding new characters, better graphics, and putting in an acutally story/campaign are just some of the improvements that Namco has made. In Tekken 6, improvements have also be made. The fighting is acutally more clear and fluid, and not chopping and annoying. They continued to add characters, the most interesting one is named Bob, he is just a big fat guy. It will be interesting to see how he will fit in the story. All of the normal people are there, like Jin and Law, with their stories picking up where it left off last game. Another addition is a customization option. Now you can make you fighter as mean or as prissy as you would like. They most intriguing addition is the introduction of an in-depth storyline. The last game had one, but it was short and vague. This one is more well-rounded but its more scenario based rather than a flat out story. Overall Tekken has brought fighting games back to the surface in the gaming world, and recieved and 8.5. I am excited to see what will come next.
