Although I have ordered the collector's edition of This game through Mighty Ape, I have been playing the game for awhile now as I was able to secure an american copy so I have been playing the game since american release.
This is simply put the best 3D fighting game to ever be released for console's. The gameplay is 100% accuracy to the arcade.(especially with a fight stick). This game has been number one in the arcades in japan for nearly 6 months now beating Streetfighter IV (7th) and Blazblue (2nd). It never dip's below 60 fps and features a great soundtrack and very nice graphics incorporating full variable motion blur. With motion blur off the game actually looks nicer, but for that real kinetic feel of combat you will probably want to keep it on.
It has a very long single player campaign mode (about 6–8 hours per character) which is surprising fun, for a gameplay style that doesn't follow the core gameplay of the title. Yes, contrary to alot of popular fighters tekken actually has a long and complex storyline involving japanese big business and a very amusing and dark family feud along with supernatural elements.
But, the real reason you will want this game is for the sweet one on one action with your friends, and this is where this game truly delivers. People tend to become overwelmed with tekken, but in reality it is actually alot more accessable than the likes of Streetfighter but allowing a hige depth of gameplay for experts with a balanced roster of 40 unique characters. So if you have been holding off getting because of this, it's time to get into tekken.
The only mark I would make against it at this time is the online mode has proved to be shaky with noticible input lag, it will be interesting to see how this pan's out once it's completely live downunder, Namco has confrirmed they are wokring on a patch for december, so hopefully these issues will be resolved, but even if they are not you can still download the “ghost data” of anyone playing the game in the world, to play offline.
If the patch end's up successfully fixing the latency issues with the online mode, I will modify my score to 5 stars as i believe this is the best fighting game ever released!
The best Tekken ever made. The story line is interesting and the campaign mode is challenging. The addition of the new characters made it more fun to play. I love this game.
I must admint that the game is great the charactiers of tekken are well desgind but some of the story is in another language!
