First impressions; Imports hands on + skateboarding

Well i ordered Tekken: Dark ressurection and Mario Hoops 3 on 3 around a week to two weeks ago. They had to get the games sent to them from their suppliers, then shipfrom Hong Kong the shipping was free so the wait was certainly reasonable.

Well i've got them both right next to me now and have played a little of each.

Mario Hoops is a LOT better then it looks in gameplay videos, the stylus control works exceptionally well which is sort of suprising. The Japanese is sort of heavy in the menu's but i managed to find quick play and veyr easil chose the teams and started up a match, i managed to win my first match at around 300 to 200. There's multi-pliers and stuff, i didn't get 100 hoops. It's quite easy to get into and i expect i can do a lot better if i do a few matches.

Tekken's graphics are excetional, i suck at tekken so i'm having a wee bit of difficulty on Medium i can't beat Devil Jin at the moment. The controls may be consideed an issue, playing tekken with a PS2 control is undoubtebly better but the PSP's dpad gives it a run for it's money. During the tutorial (All Japanese but they tell you the buttons which is easy enough) i couldn't press down and left at the same time, or at least it wouldn't have it. I managed it in a fight somehow but whatever :).

Tekken is super import friendly, plenty of English spoken bits (for story mode and such), as well as fully English menus.

I also bought Tony hawk's pro skater 4 for £1.61 and Pro skater 3 for £0.99 on eBay, yay eBay.
