Tekken 6. The best Tekken yet?



Namco's Tekken 6 has been around for a while now, only just picking it up within the last week I was transported to my Playstation 1 days on tekken 2 spamming the square button with Yoshimitsu ( Metaphorically, the campaign doesn't involve being transported to a PS1 ) .


Trying not reveal to much about the story, there are two types of story mode. The first , Scernario mode, takes us to a labrotory where rebel leader, Lars Alexanderson is infiltrating said Lab only to be ambushed by G corporations JACK 6 robot. Lars' squad defeats the JACK's only for one to get back up and self-destruct causing the explosion to give Lars' amnesia...




The other story mode is the basic Tekken arcade mode, with the 9 stages of 1 on 1 fights, 1 bonus round against a fighter I can't/ won't reveal in case of spoiling too much, but I will say the mysterious fighter is worth a 30 G achievment if you defeat her you Xbox- 360 fans. With at teh end of the 9 rounds you face a giant beast named Azazel which is ancient Hebrew meaning mythical beast, but no achievment. While he is hard, it may require you to sacrifice your fighting pride and resort endless spamming of the X button regardless of which console you play.




The Characters List consists of 43 characters:


New Characters include:


Bob - An obese yet suprisingly agile blonde fighter.


Jack 6 - Obviously an upgraded Jack 5, nothing special but every Tekken has gotta have a Jack.


Leo - A counterpart to Lei Wulong, very agile and fast yet lacking strength.


Miguel Rojo - One of the most agile fighters yet one of the weakest. A trade-off.


Zafina - An ex- western assassin, apparently her moves resemble a spider.


Lars Alexanderson - Fast, strong and carries a mean punch. Basically, not an easy target.


Alisa Bosconavitch - Alisa was a the daughter of Dr. Bosconavitch, after she dies , he revives with some slight robotic modifications including rocket thrusters, chainsaw arms and a detachable head.




All in all, one of, if not the best tekken game to date, ask for my gamertag if your up to the challenge ;)
