Tekken rocks
I love the tekken series i'm been playing them since tekken 3 and i have gotten all the tekken games. This game is simply brilliant the graphics are awesome the gameplay is brilliant and the new game mode with devil jin is awesome too. The new stuff is all great new characters the new fighting moves, the new background, music & modes. One thing too mention the boss battle at the end off story mode is ridicuously hard and it takes so many times to beat him it's really gets annoying, also once you complete everything u do get bored with the game it's fun just too start over again, but when you first get it it will give you loads off fun for ages. I like the games Soul Calibur and i have dead or alive 2 (which are awesome games) but this was first beat em up game i got so this is my favourite. In my opinion Tekken 3 was the ultimate tekkn game but sadly i no longer have that it's sucha shame because i loved that game. This game is wicked if you've played any tekken game before this is a must get.

Just short of the perfect game...
Best Tekken in my opinion, partly because it includes the arcade versions of tekken 1, 2 and 3!

Faster pace than previous tekkens, huge rooster of characters, many more moves and great cinematics (if a little cheesy in parts), oh and awesome versus mode.

Only fault I have with the game is the uninspiring end boss Jinpachi Mishima. He just feels cheap. Once you beat him, he is no longer a challenge.

Also some people have complained about sore fingers or thumbs? Personally I don't have a problem playing for hours because I tend to move my thumb in a minimalistic fashion rather than hammering the face buttons like a baboon.

A must own for tekken and beat em up fans alike.

Another Tekken but they made sure it was worth it
I have to say when I first heard of Tekken 5 coming out I did start to wonder, what really will they do to honestly make 5 a better experience than past Tekkens? After all theres been 5 Tekkens already if you remember Tekken Tag, which was an excellent game. So in Tekken 5 which I now own, I can say after playing it if you really like Tekken its a sure thing youll probably like Tekken 5. Though be prepared, it is fast,the fastest yet, you really need a few hours to get use to this,it can be frustrating losing matches you might have fought back in half way through in previous Tekkensthe speed can be very frustratingfor me sometimes I feel theres not enough time to enjoy the fight at all. but If you start to take things easy on survival mode youll be beat probably earlier than b4, its amazing that even a stage 1 or 2 character on survival will be surprisingly agressive and tuff at times, you need your wits about you in survival and it can be so unbleivabl losing when you had full energy the fight before, you can get killed too quickly, which is why im giving it 4 stars,Teken 4 had no of these frustrating things. New things in Tekken 5 are 2 brand new characters Raven (Ninjutsu) and Feng (Kung Fu) Also Asuka who has many new moves but is similar to Jun a lot, I found her very challenging to beat more than most of the characters. Also the end boss is new. Characters like Bruce the kickboxer and Anna make a return and they really have plenty of new moves. Bryan feels quite different to Bruce a lot now and command lists for every character are just full of moves and secret throws you may not know. Check out some of the mad moves King has with his 5 or 6 throw combos (they gave him more again) The command list is excellent for checking out every move, every move can be demonstrated. The best change probably is the ability to Customise* Characters now and also for the first time to get credits to buy new items/clothing/hairstyles by beating higher ranked opponents. You can buy massive swords for Feng, change the hairstyle of the characters in so many ways, buy a water bottle for Jin hanging from his waist, Gattling Gun for Jack. Samurai Helmet for Heihachi, but there isn't only 1 item per body part and every item fits the characters persona very well,Kuma even has a honey pot if you save enough credits 4 it. The items avialable are as if this mode had been in the game in previous Tekkens there so so many an item for the characters. In Tekken 6 these modes are in there because of the popularity and added value of the game, if you cant wait for Tekken 6 buy this-T5, if you own a psp and have a ps2 dont buy Tekken 5 for ps2 buy Tekken dark resurrection for psp, which is even better than Tekken 5 as it has even more characters - Dragunov and Lili and Armor King. Just my recomendation for value. The customizing of characters makes Tekken 5 worth it and thers is no lazyness of the regular characters development as they all have added new moves.
