Customer Reviews

Unbiased Review
I'll break this review into bullet points so it's easier to digest.

Pro's:-
- Pick up and play - Controls are straight forward and make the game easily accessible for newcomers, whilst at the same time having alot of depth for the more experienced players. Prime example of easy to pick up, hard to master.
- Very fluid gameplay, great graphics and awesome sounds effects.
- 40 characters to choose from! You will not be moaning about the amount of characters to play, each with their own wide range of moves and special attacks to learn and enjoy.
- Interactive environments - Smack opponents into walls, smash them through the floor, etc.
- Plenty of game modes - Scenario mode (Big part of the game, allows you to unlock alot of the custom items, endings, etc. It's a fleshed out Tekken Force mode or like a 3D Streets of Rage style game), Arcade Mode, Survival Mode, Ghost Mode, Practice Mode, Online Mode, Team Battle mode, etc.)
- Tons of custom items to get - Customize the look of your character in tons of ways! From Cowboy Hats to Bikini's, you can fully customize your look and save it for battles.

Con's:-
- Online play - As of the time of writing this review, the game suffers from SERIOUS input lag when playing online for the vast majority of people, this makes the game damn near unplayable online and no fun at all. If you want the game for this mode, then do NOT buy the game until a patch comes (if it ever does) to fix this.
- No CO-OP play for scenario mode, seems odd they didn't include this, and though it's not an issue for me, alot of people will wonder why its not there.
- Rage - This is a nice idea, basically, when you are low on health you go into 'rage' mode where your hits are more damaging, however, the major problem with it is a player in rage can kill a player on full health in one combo, this is very frustrating if you are on the end of it.
- Azazel - The boss of the arcade mode and arena, this is the most annoying boss in history and will have alot of gamers swearing at their TV. It uses the same cheap powerful moves over and over and you will feel cheated as you struggle over and over trying to kill it.

Conclusion

There is alot to enjoy in this game and most people will come to love the same old Tekken with all the updates and new things to do, however, alot of people will feel ripped off after waiting so long for a game where the online element of the game is broken when they get the game. If you want to play online, don't buy this until the game is fixed, if you have no intention of playing online, you will find alot to do here and for the most part you will have an enjoyable experience.

Simple Straight Forward Review
I am a very aggressive tekken fan and have been following it since tekken 2, so you can imaging how impatient i must be to wait for tekken 6 to be released.. i was extremely surprised to read some off putting reviews, but i coudnt resist to buy it and try myself... so here is my little experience

the first 1 hour of tekken 6 was very disappointing, the first thing i noticed were low resolution character graphics i said to myself damn what they have done to the graphics its not even 720p and the blockiness resembles playstation 1, my heart sank and thought that its plain waste of money.

the second off putting this was the disc load time, which was way too long if you compare to teken 5 DR online. after sometime i just turned my ps3 off and took a break with just a sad heart. went online to google the remedies. In no time i had some solutions...

Turned back on the ps3, started the tekken disc and the first thing that i did was to install the tekken on harddsk.. this option is available in the options menu - other settings.. it took about 4-5 mins to install, than according to my research i had to turn off motion blur which increases picture quality.. after doing these two things i went back online to try a couple of matches...

now IMMEDIATELY I COULD TELL THE DIFFERENCE now they are much much better no more blockiness... although graphics are 720p but the movements, sounds affects just make the whole experience outstanding.. addition of new characters with new features is good too.. i never had problem playing online no lag whatsoever maybe coz i applied the online update just before i played the game for the first time...

all those tekken hardliners dont be put off by some not so fair reviews this games deserves nothing less than 5 stars i am very happy with it.. if anyone wants to challenge me add me my psn id is shehryaar

oh one more thing i defeated azazel on the very first fight in arcade mode with king lolz...

hope this review helps.... one last word after playing tekken 6 online for about 3 hours i tried tekken 5 and it honestly looked dull.. tekken 6 ROCKS

A personal list of positives and negatives of Tekken 6
Positives
- 40+ unique characters to choose from - all characters from Tekken 5 DR plus 6 completely new ones
- smooth graphics with added frames to improve character animation
- fully customizable characters, whether you play vs mode with friends and customize for fun or play in scenario campaign and customize for RPG-like statistics
- scenario campaign mode
- background stages are linked, you can destroy floor on one stage to land in another

Negatives
- native (not stretched) HD graphic resolution is 720. It is a definite step backwards from Tekken 5 DR which is one of very few games to run full 1080
- scenario campaign mode cannot be played with two players
- rage mode can completely ruin the fight
- final boss difficulty is ridiculous, it seems like beating him is dangerously close to exploiting game glitches
- i would expect more background stages, some of existing ones are not interesting
- loading times (even with installed game) are little bit too long

New Character's Martial Arts
This is only for MA enthusiasts (most of players wouldn't care :)
- only Leo represent real martial art (Bajiquan)
- Miguel and Zafina styles are interesting and passable
- Bob and Alisa are little bit too much fiction, I am sure Namco could have thought of more realistic characters
- Lars is another practitioner of Mishima style Karate, and turns out to be another member of Mishima family... its a little bit shame and waste of potentially good idea

Amazon Delivery
Major pain. Pre Ordered the game on 16Oct2009, was supposed to be dispatched on 29Oct2009 which Amazon failed to do due to lack of stock (why the hell did they collect the money beforehand?).
Actual dispatch date: 2Nov2009
After a week game did not arrive and i went to shop to get a copy locally.
The game dispatched by Amazon arrived on 24Nov2009 (more than 3 weeks later)
This was my first Pre-Order from Amazon and i will never use it again.
