Tekken 5 (PS2) Reviews

By the fifth game in the series, one would think that the Tekken series is just running on empty, but somehow, it manages to keep wowing us with enhances visuals, extremely fun gameplay, and a cast of characters, old and new, that are well-developed and have unique and interesting backstories. This game very much feels like a summation of the ...  Read the complete review

Right I was very critical with Tekken 4, which I thought was a bit of a rip off where here was nothing really new to the series apart from the awful switching technique and pointless obstacles in the middle of the screen. This game has gone back to what made it successful, ie keeping the fights clean with no stupid obstacles, though ...  Read the complete review

The Tekken series is famous worldwide and always in competition with other similar fighting games such as Virtua Fighter. However, Tekken has survived time and console generations making it the best fighting game that is available for purchase and I would think so too. After 10+ years and many different versions the experience should be ...  Read the complete review

Tekken was one of the first games I ever played on PS2 even before I actually owned one. Now that I am a proud owner of Sony Playstation this game was absolutely a must have for me, a bit nostalgic in a way and of course because I like fighting games. This one is well known for its qualities and is considered as one of the top games of ...  Read the complete review

I have always been a fan of the tekken series, ever since playing the first one way back when on the PS1. The fifth instalment is probably the most fluid and polished so far, no cheap characters like eddie gordo in tekken 3 and with the added bonus of tekken 1,2 and 3 on the disc. The game also features "walled arenas" so when you ...  Read the complete review

I bought this game when it first came out and i can honestly say i was blown away, the grapics are top notch. Yes the first 3 tekken games are included in this game we all know they were bad quality but still ...  Read the complete review

Tekken 5 has been the most pleasing of the series, the graphics have improved hugely and still features all the characters from the previous series plus some added mystery unlockables to mix up the action up a little. Single player similar to previous Tekken's means battling the range of characters up to the top contender. Although the true fun ...  Read the complete review

Everyone who's played a playstation in the past 12 years will have at least heard of the Tekken brand.

Tekken-I played the 3rd instalment on an arcade machine and it was wonderful. It's passed a few changes since then with Tekken Tag changing the formula and Tekken 4 being way too slow. Now though-it is back to the main formula with just a few add-ons, the formula which made the Tekken series stand out all those years ago. Tekken, for ...  Read the complete review

Ever since the first Tekken I have always been in love with the games. I honestly thought it would get no better then Tekken 4 which to me was spectacular, but, it has really gone behond any other fighting game I've seen. Though I'm without proof, Tekken 5 has probably got the best graphics in any PS2 game available. The detail is ...  Read the complete review
