Tekken 5

Posted on 16th Nov, 2007   Reviews (0)

Tekken 5 is the definitive Tekken, with almost every Tekken character from over the years short of the Ogres and Armor King represented in one form or another; yes, even Heihachi Mishima, despite the intro. There's a little bit of Capcom-ness here, because the retroactive changes to the storyline have all but negated the massacre that led up to Tekken 3; many of his supposed victims are present and accounted for in The King of Iron Fist Tournament 5. Jun Kazama, Michelle Chang, and the original King are the only Ogre victims still dead as of Tekken 5, and both have successor characters in the game to maintain their playstyles (in fact, Asuka is a much stronger representative of the Kazama-ryu than Jun). Further supporting the all-inclusive approach is the return of some "endless" stages with no walls, which allow players to play a more open-ended game with little or no regard for their surroundings...
