Customer Reviews

Disappointing, but not the hot mess the QQ'ers make it out to be
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.

One of best fighting games ever!!
This is a great fighting game.

First of all, online mode was patched!! I was waiting for online update. First time
tekken 6 came out, online was laggy(still fun, though) but after update, it works great. Almost
arcade level. I am very happy with it.

Graphic is not the best but looks clean and vivid.
I like the sound. Music in the game is beautiful, sometimes combative.
Gameplay is the best. Doing combo on each character is funny and serious.

go Online and play with others!!

Bittersweet for me
I wanted to wait at least a week after buying this game to post a review, and I'm glad I did. I've seen reviews ranged from glowing to garbage, and after a week with it I can see why the reactions are so varied.

THE GOOD: Graphics are beautiful. I have both SC4 and Tekken6, and I personally think the movement and details on T6 outshine SC4. That's not a popular opinion, but I think it's quite obvious to me. The fighting mechanics and buttons are classic Tekken, and the ability to customize buttons is much appreciated. Characters are extremely individual, with different styles, moves, responses, looks, all unique to each character. Even with that, fights are extremely fair, with almost everyone able to grab a character and have fun (except against skilled players of Tekken, which I am not). The massive amount of costume customization options is incredible.

THE BAD: The campaign mode is horrible. Do we really need cinematic cutscenes every five seconds? Hello, Metal Gear Solid 2, anyone? The concept of the campaign mode is great, the fighting and execution remain annoying. I never tried online play, so I can't really say anything about lag when playing online. Load times are appalling. Whoever decided it would be a good idea to force you to rechoose your character and reload your fighter, your opponent, and your scene WHEN CONTINUING A FIGHT EACH AND EVERY TIME, EVEN IF YOU'RE KEEPING EVERYTHING THE SAME (!) should be demoted. Or fired. After the thirtieth time I'm fighting Azazel, I already know to "get ready for the next battle!" and that I'll be fighting the final boss Azazel; I really don't need you to make me hear and see this every single time I continue. Just let me continue and jump right back into the fight rather than make me wait longer than the fight will actually take while things are reloading. Thanks. And that dizzying array of costume customization pieces? They cost a freaking fortune, each and every one. Good luck earning enough fight money to buy even ten of them.

THE UGLY: Azazel has finally displaced MK2's Kintaro as the cheapest, most aggravating boss I've ever had the misfortune to play against. I've played video games for over thirty years, and I'm pretty darn good at beating them, including the hard ones like the original Ninja Gaiden. But I flat out cannot beat Azazel. His reach is insane, his moves are beyond cheap, he does roughly 75% of his damage while you're on the ground or in the air, and he has multiple ranged attacks that no playable character can try to match. Oh, and the cute teleport move is a joy, especially when he/she/it flies around you and hits you in the back when you're already moving to intercept it. Fighting defensively worked best, but he always gets me with a cheap juggle or his teleport.

So, my final verdict for Tekken 6 is that this is an absolutely beautiful game with amazing graphics and a terrific fight system right up until the last two bosses. The costume pieces would look lovely, but only if you could actually afford to equip them. I'm not going to spend the next two years fighting to earn enough money to equip my characters the way I'd really like them to be. If you're an experienced Tekken player who loves a challenge, then this game will probably be a 4- or 5-star title for you. For everyone else, it's 2 stars. I haven't decided if I'm going to keep mine to play with my friends or if I'm going to sell it or trade it in. It's sort of a toss-up right now. What I'm sure of is that this game wasn't worth full price. Save your money and buy a used copy in a few weeks, because there are going to be LOTS of them for sale.
