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

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.

Worth fighting for . . .
I've been a Tekken fan since number 2 and things have moved a long way since. Tekken Tag Tournament was excellent but the tag format was dropped sadly. T4 was pretty good in 3D if a little short of characters and scenes but with Tekken 5 they just about got it right in the variety and number of characters, backdrops and moves.

Tekken 6 is more of an evolution than a revolution, the main upgrade being online play of course. From the start you have all the 40 characters available which is a first. I am guessing that is so everybody is on a level playing field for online from day one but it spoils the surprise of unlocking newbies somewhat. New characters include the lardy (but fast) Bob, the doll-like Alisa with detachable head and chainsaws (one of her moves brings tears to the eyes!), spider-like Zafina, Dragunov, Lars and Miguel. All the old faves from Jack and Nina to King and Paul are still there but with tweaked moves and new trousers (or pretty frocks for the ladies of course).

As for the game play, well it's still "Tekken" at the end of the day with the usual arcade, survival, VS and team battle modes. Controls are the same still via the d-pad which is fine for me but you can use the left stick to move now also. The characters are bigger and better with sixteen varied and often wacky and destructable backgrounds to fight in, including a field of sheep who get bounced about if they're in the way (funny). Don't be surprised if you find yourself crashing through the floor either. As you progress you gain promotion (and trophies), from Beginner to 9th kyu and up to 5th Dan etc. Note your ranking applies per character so make it up to 5th kyu as Law, you're still a beginner as Yoshi. Win money allows you to customise your character but you'll need a lot of it for the full outfit and funky haircut or "aura" even. There are some great customised fighters online.

Online is easy to get into, with both ranked and non-ranked matches though there are connection problems from time to time and don't be surprised if your opponent suddenly disappears just as you are toasting him/her on the final round (though he should incur a "penalty"). You can see your opponents stats and rankings but if you come across a heavily pimped out fighter then you know you're in for a battle as he or she has obviously played a few games to afford the new gear. Popular characters online seem to be Bryan, Hwoarang, Steve and the irritating Eddy Gordo. Success online involves sticking to one character and practising...lots!

Graphically it is good but not brilliant compared to some next-gen titles, disappointingly only coming in at 720p. It still has that "arcadey" feel with the Namco banner, "Insert Coin" footer and the same often tinny Japanese soundtrack but you can play your own music from the PS3 if you like which is a bonus. As others have mentioned, turning of "motion blur" makes it a cleaner and crisper affair and is worth looking at in my opinon. Installing the game to the hard disk didn't really seem to improve load times though.

It's best played with mates but online really adds value as against the computer and with the nightmare new boss it can be a pretty sterile affair. Overall though, the series has been "Tekken" online and to a new level and it's a good addition to the franchise. Hard-core Tekkenistas will it lap up with its massive cast of characters and new moves that will take months to master, having fun along the way.
