Woot, finally. This concludes the tekken 6 fest. Getting kinda bored and half-assed doing tekken 6 reviews and ONLY tekken 6 reviews. Well Im glad this is the last one. Tekken 6 for the 4th gens have been on shelves for quite a while now, and yes this is the PS3 review. Personally I find the 4th gens' tekken 6 the best among them all, well time to get on with it.

Tekken's story is kind of hard to catch up to. Since there are after all 6 games(actually 7 including tekken tag). I have been following up since tekken 3, till today's tekken 6. Well tekken 6's story, like and other tekken game, revlolves seperately among each and every of the 40 characters. Each has thier own story and part to play in the game. Well in this newest installment of the game we have the 2 main protoganists lars and alisa, our stars in the brand new scenerio campaign. Apparently lars is in a rebel group against mishama zaibatsu,which is waging war around the world. He later discovers alisa and they both go around trying to stop mishima zaibatu's chaotic spread, or something like that. Tekken hasnt been really that story driven anyway, I dont really pay attention, but thats the gist of the storyline.

Tekken 6 has great graphics and animation, better than that of street fighter 4 and soul calibur 4. They look even better than the arcade machine models. With such great graphics and special effects, such as cracking the floor when a character falls down, the red burst of energy when a character goes rage mode, its all detailed and very nice on the TV screen. The characters too, thier body strucure and muscle details and stuff look refined and very well speculated. As expected of the 4th gen consoles.

As for the game basics you have a few gameplay options. Arcade mode, which you fight through 8 battles. Ghost battle, where you fight loads and loads of enemies without taking a break. Survival, you once again fight loads and loads of enemies but this time with only 1 life bar. Time attack, a very obvious mode that I shouldnt explain as its in almost EVERY fighter today. And of course we have the new scenario campaign. Scenario campaign is just like the previous tekkens' tekken force, but more story driven, as it revolves around only 2 main characters lars and alisa. This is kinda like the game's story mode and its quite fun actually. You get to play thorugh over 30 stages of pure simple brawling, each stage with thier own boss. This mode itself can take up to 4 or 5 hours of gameplay, this extends the play value of the game itself. Also each stage you play drops items that can be equipped to your fighter for customization purposed. More on that now.

Since tekken 5, customization has beomce quite and issue. Now in tekken 6, customization is deep as ever. Customization in tekken is just to make your fighters look good in the way you want them to. Customization grants no bonus attack,defense or sutff like that. You buy these items through using fight money, obtained either by fighting enemies or by clearing a stage in scenerio campaign. Fight money comes in little by little in fighting, so saving up cash can be quite a pain. In scenerio campaign however money flows in quite quickly. This makes playing scenerio campaign is must sometimes for players who want quick and easy money. Items are not only bought, they can also be dropped my enemies in scenario campaign. Items dropped this way though grant special boosts in scenerio campaign, such as freezing effect and such, but they dont appear like that in normal fights. Customisation items as I said before do not affect normal fights.
b


Overall tekken 6 is a much more improved game than all of its predussecors, with flaws such as long and frequent loading times and over the top LAG during online play, they prevent tekken 6 from being a soooo much better game. Well the game alone now is already great, so I suggest fighting game lovers to get this. However if one is looking for online play, tekken 6 is just not the game for you.

Happy gaming.
