I live in Pa and they have Tekken and Forza 3. Not sure if I can afford to get both. Def Tekken. I may wait on F3.

Re: Tekken 6

I cant quite put my finger on what it is, but tekken fell off of my radar after part 2 and I've had zero interest in it since.

i think Soul Cal stole the thunder from tekken and DOA, made them kinda irrelevant.

IGN gives Tekken 6 a 8.8

Closing Comments
Although beginners can get by in Tekken 6 by mashing buttons, the real fun comes from learning the game's intricate sub-systems and developing a sense of the mind games that play out about between two skilled opponents. Tekken 6 has a lot to offer, including a massive roster, refined gameplay, plenty of modes, online multiplayer and an absurd amount of character customization options.

It's a shame that the game's load times aren't better, because the awkward pauses between matches interrupt the otherwise frantic and heart-pounding pacing of combat. That, coupled with the dry Campaign Scenario, keep Tekken 6 from being the absolute best it could be. With that said, Tekken fans will certainly gobble it up and I think gamers unfamiliar with the franchise should give it a shot. The unique mix of an easy-to-use interface with intensely deep strategies is definitely worth checking out.

IGN Ratings for Tekken 6 (PS3)
Rating Description
out of 10 click here for ratings guide
7.0 Presentation
The story really doesn't make any sense at this point. Load time are tolerable, but could have been a lot better.
7.5 Graphics
In-game character models are quite nice, but certain environments (like the water-filled Mystical Forest) fail to impress.
7.5 Sound
Decent tunes mix with an odd combination of numerous languages. Characters speak in English, Japanese and Chinese. How do they understand each other?!
8.5 Gameplay
Approachable, but still a very deep game with a steep learning curve for those interested in mastering a character or two. Campaign Scenario is a fine distraction, but could have been better.
9.0 Lasting Appeal
Learning every character could take ages. And it would take just as long to unlock all the costumes in this game.
Great OVERALL 8.8

Re: Tekken 6

I wonder if the 360 install will help things.

Some have been complaining about poor graphics but there was no mention in that review and others have said it's fine.

I dont think its going to "wow" anyone with the graphics but from what I have seen it still overall looks pretty good. I am looking forward to this on Tuesday.

Re: Tekken 6

It's not even a wow thing,they're saying it's just terrible. They might be playing in 480p or SD,that's all I can think of.

A bunch of characters and customization and the multi-part stages.

Plus now there are tag team matches which is a nice touch. I am glad that they haven't changed the core gameplay mechanics. It plays great, it always has. Especially when you play with a nice stick.
