As Tekken made its way onto the PS2 I had huge hopes for the franchise. Tekken 3 was a superb game that truly pushed the limits of a the playstation console and delivered an immense fighting experience. Tekken Tag Tournament was the first foray of Tekken onto the Playstation 2 and I lapped it up. I loved the game in the arcade and spent considerable sums of money playing it until it was finally re... read more

Unfortunately, it wasn't very good, or at least not as good as its predecessors. This matter is about to be addressed, though, with the imminent release of Tekken 4.
Being a beat-'em-up, Tekken 4 doesn't have the most complex of rule sets: you punch and kick your opponent until they fall down. But what separates the wheat from the chaff with this sort of game is how easy and instinctive it is to pull off the various gravity-defying moves and how much tactics there are once you know exactly what you're doing.
Tekken has been accused of having too much of the former and not enough of the latter, but this newest version is a touch more technical; indeed, it seems to take on some of the features which the more complex Virtua Fighter series has discarded, namely enclosed, variable-height arenas and more emphasis on 3-D movement via the dodge button. The whole package makes for a very worthy sequel with some excellent graphics and even interactive scenery (you can punch some of the crowd watching you "by mistake").
Some of the new characters are excellent, too, particularly Steve the boxer who has no kick moves but a custom set of ducks and weaves instead. In a genre that is usually a bit of a wasteland of originality, Tekken 4 has a pleasing amount of new ideas and together with the top graphics it should entertain even the most resolute of pacifists. --David Jenkins

"Game Breaker: Jin Kazama's Laser Beam
Why?
This move has evolved from the early days of Devil/Angel, where it was a powerful yet slow energy beam shot from the eyes. Now, Jin can perform the flying 'ground scrape' version with a very small recovery time, usually making multiple hits a foregone conclusion. "

Tavanomaisen hyvää Tekkeniä, ainakin porukassa. Läpipelailin tämän jokaisella hahmolla niin, että sai kaikki videot auki ja tarinat seurattua. Onhan Tekkenin juonijatkumo aikamoista sillisalaattia, mutta se korvataan erittäin toimivalla arkademätkinnällä. Tuorein Mortal Kombat PS3:lle ja Xbox 360:lle on omalla kohdallani kovin vastus Tekken-sarjalle, ja jopa parempi kokonaisuus.
