THE fighting game

User Rating: 9.6 | Tekken 5 PS2
If you ever have considered, or presently do consider yourself a fighting game fan, you must own tekken 5. In fact, if you are a gamer at all, you have to have this game. I used to love fighters, from the greatest to the most horrendous, but anymore I miss the plot. I look for more adventure and action games. But holy crap, I LOVE this game. I saw it in the arcade one day with my cousin, and we were like WE MUST PLAY THIS ALL THE TIME. And play all the time we did. Incredible game.

Gameplay: damn, everything is high tuned and tight. The control scheme may be geared for skilled fighters, but as a guy who doesnt have much time for games (college takes up much of my time now) I learned a lot of the styles very quickly. What is kind of faulty is the mini game, which is semi monotonous, but the boss battles are fun.

Graphics: Feckin HOT, the arenas are completely awesome even without multilevels.

Sound: Top notch, simply top notch

Value: With so many fighters, styles, moves, difficulty levels, minigame (which is sadly subpar), and of course, multiplayer (which really depends on how many friends you have), you'll be playing for a while.

Reviewers tilt: used to love fighting games, now I only go for the best, this is the best.
