tekken

All hardcore gamers would agree what a Sony Playstation 3 would be without the popular arcade fighting game such as Tekken. Since the inaugural launch of the Playstation 3 last November, only a handful of games have been known. Sure there will always be the usual sports, role playing and famous PS games, but the inclusion of Tekken 5 will certainly gather more curious and avid followers of the Tekken series to get a copy of the game now.

Tekken 5 is available in Asian countries such as Hong Kong and Japan at present for roughly $16.00. However, Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection is not yet compatible with the US version of the PS3 console. But it would only be time before one would be compatible and available to most avid Namco arcade gamers.

The modes are still the same as the other series, single player, two player versus mode and the ghost mode which allows players to study other moves with the usual characters known in the Tekken series such as the Armor King and Dagunov. The game’s final boss is Jinpachi, who can be eventually used as a character player once the arcade mode has been finished. Jinpachi cannot however be customized like the other characters in the game but is a good character selection on versus mode.

Released in late July 2006, this latest installment in the Tekken series seems to have taken the gaming world by storm. Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection was released for the PSP. Game-starved PSP enthusiasts didn�t waste any time grabbing the latest in games.

Of course, Tekken has always been a favorite for many people. The Tekken games for PS2 never had any problems with the gaming public but what we have seen of Tekken 5 for the PSP seems to blow everything away! The graphics are awesome and you have a host of mini-games to play with. Let�s not forget the multiplayer options. You will never get bored with Tekken 5. In fact, I think Tekken 5 is just what the PSP needs right now to get right into the heat of things.

With Tekken 5, you have a whole new range of characters to choose from. In fact, there are more than 30 characters all line up for you. The whole gaming experience is enhanced by better moves, new interface improvements, new ranks, and even new music.

If you�re the competitive type and you want to play against someone real, you will not be disappointed with the multiplayer feature. You can share one UMD and play with your friend or you can play against virtual opponents using the Ghost feature. No matter what you choose, your gaming experience will surely be satisfying. That is why Gamespot gave it a 9.2 score. What more can you say? Try and see for yourself.
