The Good:

LOTS of characters to play, with plenty of depth and technical mastery required to truly master the game. If memorizing complex juggles, 5-10 hit combos, safe/unsafe moves, and the frame data for your moves and the moves of your opponents sounds like 'good times' for you then this game has got you covered.

The Bad:

Everything else. The graphics look waxy and dated compared to other recent releases (SC4 which was released by the same company...), the scenario campaign is a tedious grind--hint: choose Devil Jin as your free unlockable and thank me later--although it's not the torture others make it out to be, and most are reporting the online play is laggy (although I didn't notice it the few times I went online to remind myself that I am a horrible Kazuya player).

Final verdict:

The hardcore purists will enjoy the game for it's depth and steep skill requirement--and be frustrated with the online play, but those of you just looking for a pretty game to sit on the couch and button-mash with your girlfriend, you might want to skip this one.

Tekken 2 was the First game I ever owned and I liked the character stories and I've been waiting for this game for the longest time now, and I was expecting a lot, I just wanted the story's but they don't really focus on the story's the fights for the story's are short in # but the graphics are Great.

you Have to play campaign mode to unlock characters if you want to see their story

Cons:

Load time (yes this bothers me, because its long enough that there is an awkward silence if other ppl are around watching)

The subtitles are crazy small and hard to read, what are the Tekken ppl thinking? after playing 6 other Tekken games my eyes aren't what they used to be.

Pros:

looks good

story mode battles are quick

this game will keep you entertained for hours

they do a quick recap of the story starting from Tekken (but the subtitles are small and hard to read)

Tekken has always been a great franchise, with its own fighting system that can't be topped. The presentation is slick, the characters are unique, both in personality as well as fighting, and the gameplay never gets old. While tekken doesn't have the same depth as virtua fighter, its more fun, and more accessible. The controls work just right so if you're a novice you may have some fun, but if you put your time in, you're very rewarded. The only complaint I have it that there are few minor glitches, including a glitchy online system. Though this should be corrected through updates, and there's nothing amazingly innovative that makes the franchise feel fresh. But these things don't hugley detract.

Overally, Tekken 6 is an excellent fight game, with a ton of replayability. Recomended!

When I first heard about a new Tekken that would be going multi-platform for the first time, I was excited. I have been a long time Tekken fan, ever since the beginning, and this first true next-generation Tekken was something I looked forward to from the day that it was announced. Unfortunately, Tekken 6 fell short. The campaign mode, was a terrible deviation from a game that is meant to focus on fighting, not poorly designed button mashing. What had been a side foray in previous Tekken games, has become front and center in this one, and I don't feel as though that was the proper course of action to go about. When it comes to arcade mode, truth be told, it's too similar to Tekken 5, and Tekken 5:DR. There just wasn't enough innovation in my opinion.

In conclusion, unless you are the most extreme Tekken fan out there, I advise skipping this one, at least until the price for the game + shipping drops below $20. There are better fighting games out there, so you're better off picking those up, especially because they are all currently at similar prices.

Tekken 6 is FUN! I am a fighting game enthusiast who enjoys what Tekken 6 has to offer!

ONLINE: As of Turkeyday, Namco released a patch correcting online play and the game runs smoothly and almost without lag with players that have good connection (4 to 5 bars run smoothly; also, you can choose players that have good online connections rather than bad before entering a match). I have no issues with playing online. Furthermore, you can download ghosts of realtime player from online to play against!

Scenario Mode: Its fun and wacky to play. You go about beating the various levels of this mode to unlock more characters to choose from and you get one free pass to choose a character to unlock automatically(default characters are Lars and Alisa) If you are feeling lighthearted and want to beat up funky sumo wrestlers, kangaroos, and miniature sized bears, PLAY THIS MODE! This mode also has hardcore stages... fighting demons on a train, a cheap chainsaw robot girl, and an egyptian monster! Another reason to play scenario mode is customizations. Throughout the game you will have treasure chest drops containing various items to customize your characters, these items give your characters abilities like fire or ice elementals, higher attack, more money making, more item drops, and etc (Also, in this mode I love reading characters quips in scenario mode Lee and Alisa have a silly intro dialogue in ganryu's stage).

*I highly suggest you unlock DEVIL JIN as your first character of choice; some people tend to give up trying to unlock him on the hardest stage, Nightmare Train (you got 50+ demons to kill on that stage and a boss with 7-8 demons fighting by his side; I knocked him off the train after a few minutes for an instant KO. Took me 3 hours though >>).

Storymode: I love tekken's story mode from tekken 5. It had character interactions that gave more insight about each fighter, but they cut it out :( The amount of levels leading to the final round have been cut down to 3 fights rather than 7. I disagree with this decision because it makes the game feel so much shorter, and really more of a gimmick now than ever.

Closing comments:

I would highly recommend buying this game. I grew up as a kid playing this fighting game from Tekken 3 for the playstation. I imagine kids from middle school and up enjoying scenario mode a lot (and spamming the same moves over and over). For adults like me, I like the game options for casual play like survival mode and scenario mode when I am not feeling up for beating people online, and its great now tekken 6 offers better online play against real people!

I bought this game from Amazon; I still play this game and enjoy it very much so. This was worth $60.00. I don't care if the graphics are not on the lines of Uncharted 2 or Virtua Fighter 5. They are more than acceptable to me, but what I do care about is that the action is well paced and well executed. I haven't enjoyed beating up people in a fighting game for a long time :)
