    Tekken 4 PlayStation 2

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 19, 2006 | 2 out of 2 found this Tekken 4 review helpful

    Pros: Gameplay, control

    Cons: Not support online

    Tekken 4 offers a standard assortment of gameplay modes, all of which revolve around pitting two skilled martial artists against each other in elimination matches. You've got arcade, time attack, and survival mode where you'll fight progressi...vely tougher computer opponents; versus mode for taking on a friend; training and practice mode for trying out all of your fighter's moves; and team battle mode where you can choose multiple fighters and you have to defeat opposing team members one at a time. However, the main attraction is the "story battle," which is basically a prettied-up arcade mode that gives each character a storyboard-style intro and epilogue, as well as a prerendered ending cutscene. It's nice that Namco put some effort into fleshing out each character's story, though none of the stories really figure into the gameplay--you'll still just take on one opponent after another, regardless of which character you chose. At any rate, that same effort would have probably been better spent on granting gamers the option to play Tekken 4 online, a feature that would have made Tekken 4 for the PS2 truly amazing. Some previous home versions of Tekken games have included additional unlockable hidden modes, but not Tekken 4. The only extra worth noting is available right off the bat: Tekken Force, basically a side-scrolling beat-'em-up like Final Fight. The PlayStation version of Tekken 3 actually had a similar mode, though it's handled better here and makes for a good diversion as you take on droves of enemy grunts at a time. You'll be impressed at how the game manages to dump so many characters onscreen without compromising the silky-smooth frame rate. Tekken 4 has fewer selectable characters overall than Tekken Tag Tournament, but Namco merely sought to remove the ones that had many identical fighting moves. The resulting game has nearly 20 distinctly different fighters, each with around 100 different moves. The majority of these will be familiar to series fans: guys like the burly American martial artist Paul Phoenix, the leopard-masked pro wrestler King, and the Bruce Lee look-alike Marshall Law; gals like the sprightly Ling Xiaoyu and the coldhearted assassin Nina Williams; and weirdos like the alien ninja Yoshimitsu and the kung fu-fighting bear Kuma. Of course, the most dysfunctional family in fighting games, old man Heihachi and his bitter son Kazuya Mishima, returns, as well as Kazuya's troubled son Jin, who boasts an almost entirely new set of moves. Most of the other returning fighters all look different than before yet have many of their old moves, though a number of useful new ones too. Read more Less

    Tekken has been the best fighting game since Mortal Kombat. I have played all the Tekkens and they keep getting better. And this is truely the best fighting game ever and it will be for years to come.I want to see any other game beat Tekken. But I do...nt think thats ganna happen untill Namco stop making the Tekken games.So Namco Keep doing what you do best, keep making games. Read more Less

    great fighting game (virtua fighter suck

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 13, 2004

    Pros: Awsome graphics, control.

    Cons: Not much sound improvement, not very original.

    All tekken fans were exited when they heard about the new tekken game coming to the ps2.When it finally came out some were dissapointed, saying tekken 3 was much better. I agree. Tekken 4 just doesn't capture the funess of tekken 3, characters do...n't feel as much involved in the rich story and there are no original extra modes like in tekken tag or tekken 3, But even so it is not that incredably uncool like the others. Tekken 4 is a great addition to namco's most popular game series, and like always namco was capable to make a great game. Every thing except the originalness is awsome, graphically wise and fun wise. The only thing I' am most dissapointed about is sound. Namco (I guess) was unsuccesful of reinhancing the great sound felling of tekken games. Read more Less
