Review: Tekken 6 (Xbox 360)
AFTER more years than I care to remember of playing the Tekken Series I confidently put the much-heralded new arrival in the 360 and told my 11 year-old daughter to prepare for a gaming education.
That was four days ago. She pummelled me.
I am having to put in some serious hours on my 360 this week after the unthinkable event. I have stripped my Tekken skills back down to basics and no longer will I handle Lei Long, Eddie or Lee with any degree of complacency.
I love Tekken, and if you are the same then you are in for a real treat with this much-anticipated arrival. This game is packed full in every way, shape and form.
Imagine four elephants in a Mini - it's that full.
There are 40 characters available for you to choose from in online and offline modes.
There are tons of different modes and features with a fantastic customization option where you can create characters and change their hairstyles, apparel, fashion accessories, tattoos, etc.
You can then fight online with them - love it! The real joy of the game, though is much more simplistic. Running at 60 frames per second, the fluency, sheer brilliance and flexibility of the gameplay is fantastic.
The sluggish days of Tekken are gone, and perhaps finally that stigma can be removed. This is fast-paced fighting fun with a very deep control system and a plethora of moves.
Graphics are brilliant, the cut scenes are of the highest quality possible and interlace fantastically with a great storyline that continues the Tekken story.
My kids loved the way your characters start fighting on one level and smash through the floor and end up somewhere else.
The backdrops are brilliant and, all in all, this game is a must for fans of the Tekken series.
I have to say think this could be the best yet.
