  • Summary: Spanning over a 14 year legacy, Tekken is among the most popular and well-known gaming brands in the world with the entire franchise selling more than 32 million units to date. Displayed in HD detail, a new era begins in the sixth King of the Iron Fist Tournament complete with intense gameplay modes as well as new features and environments. TEKKEN 6 sees the return of many familiar faces as well as new characters to create the largest line-up the series has ever seen. With a growing roster of fighters, each equipped with their own deadly techniques, moves and attack combinations, TEKKEN 6 will be the best King of Iron Fist Tournament yet. Adding to the already rich gaming experience, a deeper character customization feature will only further enhance the incredible fighting intensity as players go mano-y-mano. Players can also take the battle online for classic match-ups and to compete for world domination. [Namco Bandai Games] Expand

  1. Tekken 6 is probably the best fighting game from this generation.
  2. One of the best beat’em up’s ever. Disappointing that you can’t play the story in co-op with a second player.
  3. With its beefy cast, impressive Scenario Campaign mode, and expansive customisation options, Tekken 6 is the new heavyweight in the fighting game arena.
  4. Had Namco spent a bit less time on the forgettable Scenario Campaign and more on sorting out the netcode, however, this could have gone higher. A miracle patch would be very helpful.

  1. i believe tekken is a great game and it will always be better than mortal kombat. this game is very fun and has excellent graphics! it is especially fun if you buy a joystick from gamestop or somewhere? i got mine at xgaming and hooked it up to the arcade machine i got from http://www.recroommasters.com/Default.asp and it works perfectly!

  2. Tekken 6 is a worthy successor of the Tekken tittle. Despite it's different story mode, it fills you with the action that the past Tekken games had. Werther you play alone in the story mode, ghost mode, online or versus with your friends the game is enjoyable as ever. The characters are all unlocked by the time you put your disc inside the console, also the Xbox 360 version of the game has notably a really quicker loading than the PlayStation 3 version. (thus, the graphics are the same)

    The plot, fills you with the past games, and yes, like the past few Tekken games each character has their own purpose and reasons to join into the Iron Fist Tournament. The main story focuses on the adventure of Lars, though you can choose with which character you play. (the dialog may change depending on the characters personality, though in the videos, Lars is always shown) Your side-kick is the robotic girl named Alisa.

    Tekken 6 is a worthy game for any collection, and I recommended it if you're a fan of Versus modes and arcade, fighting games. The best way to play this game, is to have a few friends over.

    There's nothing wrong with Tekken 6's gameplay per se. The "bound" system is a fresh addition; the characters shine on 1080P capable XBOX360 and PS3; and it's fun overall, but they botched the console port. Scenario campaign is the worst kind of filler; you can't rank up past 1st dan in Ghost Mode (which is what gave Tekken DR on the PSP most of its replay value); Arcade mode is an afterthought at best; and the ending cinematics are the dullest in the franchise. Rent, don't buy. For a balanced, fun fighting game, wait for Super Street Fighter IV. Expand
  4. Its funny because Tekken 6 is the first Tekken game to go mulitplatform and its the worst installment in the series. Hopefully they return exclusive to the PlayStation brand where Tekken belongs. Expand
