TEKKEN 5
All of your favourite ass-kicking Namco characters are back, with a few new ones to boot.
King Of Iron Fist Tournament big boss, Heiachi, is dead (but don't be so sure). 20 characters include the hard hitting likes of Jin, Bryan, Raven, Jack 5, King, Lei, Julia, Nina, Yoshimitsu, Hwoarang, Kazuya, Feng, and Asuka. Arcade Mode, VS, Survival, Time Attack, and Story Modes offer variations to the prevailing action (the latter taking each character on their own trip). A great feature is the inclusion of the three classic earlier arcade incarnations of Tekken, as well as a new adventure section, Devil Within (taking Jin on a quest to rid his blood of the Devil Gene). As usual you can expect great rendered animated sequences and cool fluid graphics in the fighting game sequences. Besides each character's specific fighting style, you can also upgrade their look while you still have about a dozen fighters to unlock. Wild and exciting, as one of the premium fighting franchises Tekken remains one to be reckoned with.
