Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection lost nothing in this port: the characters are strong, the graphics are quite nice, and the character list and moves lists are extensive. While I like and respect Virtua Fighter, Tekken also seemed slightly more fun to me, and the game is a favorite among most gamers I know. and Devil Jin don't help that much they may be fun, but serious fighters will rarely use them. The characters also aren't quite as balanced as Virtua Fighter, although the additions of gimmick characters like Roger Jr.

It's an intuitive way to control a fighter, and while there is a lot of depth, the Tekken series is more newbie friendly than Virtua Fighter. Tekken uses a four-button approach to fighting each hand and foot on the right and left side gets a button. I was mildly annoyed to see that no character names were shown on the selection screen, which makes looking for your favorites tough if you haven't played in a while, but you get past it. As you play and level each character up in skill you'll also earn gold you can use to customize the look of each fighter. From the jump, every fighter-34 in all-is selectable. This doesn't look as good as Virtua Fighter 5, but it certainly doesn't look bad. Both of those versions were good, but seeing the graphics blown up to big-screen size and presented in high definition-up to 1080p-adds much to the presentation. This isn't a new Tekken game: Dark Resurrection was available in the arcades and then on the PSP. Sony just proved their "no system left behind" hard drive strategy may be the best way to go.

A bigger scope adds up to more money and a bigger file-size, though, and this $20, 500MB+ download proves that more storage gives you more flexibility in what you can offer online. This isn't a minigame or an arcade title this is a strong port of Tekken 5 for the PS3. They have released a moderately-priced downloadable game that has almost all the features you'd want from a retail release, is part of a major franchise, and even includes a pretty introduction movie.
#TEKKEN 5 REVIEW PS3#
Also new to the series is the ability to customize the characters with colored outfits, additional costumes, and items that can be bought with money gained in the fights and equipped.With Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection, Sony has done something with the PS3 that Microsoft has not been willing, or able, to do. Five new characters join the growing regular cast, and the special modes from the previous games return, with the addition of a platforming ("Devil Within") and fighting minigames starring Jin Kazama in a sub-story of his own. Tekken 5 is a versus fighting game that reduces the unusual stage design elements introduced in its immediate predecessor, thus resembling earlier installments. When the fifth King of the Iron Fist tournament is announced, both Kazuya and his son Jin enter in in an attempt to solve the mystery. However, the Mishima Zaibatsu continues operating as usual under undisclosed leadership.
Kazuya betrays his father and escapes, while Heihachi is presumably killed. The mysterious G Corporation launches a full-scale attack involving military helicopters and combat cyborgs on the building Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima were in during the final scene of the previous game.
