The game is fully tested & guaranteed to work. It’s the cartridge / disc only unless otherwise specified.
Set two years after the events of Tekken 3, Heihachi is trying to splice DNA from True Ogre into his own genome. It doesn’t work, though — he’s missing the “Devil Gene” required to complete the task successfully. Of course, he knows just who has it — Jin! However, things are complicated by the apparent resurrection of Heihachi’s murdered son, Kazuya. Amidst this background of turmoil and intrigue, the new tournament begins. This version features enhanced graphics, gameplay mechanics, and fearsome fighters. Newcomers engage old favorites in interactive, multileveled arenas.

I won’t mince words here. The single thing that makes tekken4 stand out in my mind isn’t graphics or even characters (although I do find it interesting that neither DOA3 or VF4 have any fighters who use taekwondo, the most popular MA in the world). It is gameplay.Put simply, tekken4 is just plain faster. It isn’t long combos and flagrant flashy movements or flying through the air with unreal techniques, it is good ol’ rock em sock em back and forth punching and kicking at its best. A few things make this work more for tekken4 than the other two contenders around right now (those being Dead or Alive 3 and Virtua Fighter 4).First, the moves in tekken come out much faster. It seems as if Namco got better motion capture actors because the characters kick and punch faster than in the other games. The fastest moves in tekken4 are 8 frames and the fastest one I can come up with in VF4 is about 12 or 13. Second, tekken4 uses all 4 buttons for strikes. This has two advantages. The first is that you can sort of put yourself in the place of your fighter easier since you know 1 will always be your left punch and 4 will always be your right kick. Combos just come out more naturally and it makes the gameplay much more fun. There is no “kick kick kick kick” it is “left kick, left kick, left kick, right kick,” and I like that better. Second, and much more important, it means there isn’t any guard button. How do you guard then? Simply hold back on the controller! Most people don’.
Excellent
So what’s different about Tekken 4 compared to Tekken 3 and Tag-Tournament? Well, the most obvious difference is the addition of walled in arenas. No longer do you have to fight on those weird looking infinite arenas. Now you can pummel your opponent up against walls, phone booths, trees, and many other obstacles. Also new to Tekken 4 is the position change technique. This is a new move that every fighter can perform that allows you to push your opponent where you want them (this can come in handy when being cornered up against a wall). New characters that make their debut in Tekken 4 are Craig Marduk (a huge Vale Tudo fighter that has a much better variety of throws and powerful attacks than Jack ever had), Steve Fox (a boxer who uses mainly punches but possesses incredible speed), and Christie Monterio (a female Eddy Gordo replacement). Most of the older characters have only a few new attacks, but Jin has been changed almost completely. He now uses a form of traditional karate…but don’t worry, he’s just as fast and powerful as before. The graphics are now more crisp and defined than ever. Few objects in the backround show any signs of blurriness at all. The music of Tekken 4 isn’t very memorable, but at least it fits the mood for each stage. Unfortunately, the Tekken Force mode is a fun distraction, but it becomes boring after 10 or 15 minutes of pummeling of waves of cookie cutter goons. The older characters could have used a little more revamping, and I would have liked.
Tihis game was personally a little disapointing for me. The graphics are wesome but other than that its not so great. For one the game play isnt as good as the original Tekkens and the music [stinks] period.The characters arent that great either I was pretty disppointed with this game.If you do want to spend fifty bucks spend it on Madden 2003 that is the best game.
This is one of the best in the series introduces new characters,new moves,outfits,(I specially enjoy Paul’s shoulder smash as a finisher of an air juggle ) the whole nine ,they lack a little in background department compare to virtua fighters by missing meningfull details as sand track or sand for that matter on the beach stage.And the brakeable items seem a bit to square a little smoothing would have gone a long way, none the lest is a great game with solid controllers worthy of the series hopefully in Tekken 5 namco’s team will fix those problems.
tekken 4 is a very underrated game
Awesome love it Very good service!THANK YOU
As i play this game in the arcade the graphics are great and all the new fighting styles, the 8 or new more people are even more greater.I jus wanted to say is “i think this game is the best fighting game that is going to hit PS2.My opinion is Tekken 4 puts the other fighting games to shame……….Thank You
Tekken 4 may not be the most groundbreaking fighting game on the market (or the long running series for that matter), but it succeeds where most other fighting games fail. When all the fighters are finally unlocked, there is a nice selection of diverse fighters; each of whom move very fluidly and each fighting style is diverse enough yet simple to learn: one of the many qualities that has always been a staple of the Tekken series. As I said before, the graphics are very nice and the fighters well animated, and the 3-D backgrounds are nicely designed as well. The rendered animation sequences (another staple of the series) are nicely done as well for the most part, but they are too short and the voice acting that goes with it isn’t anything to write home about. The newly designed Tekken Force mode is a step above Tekken 3’s version, and is a blast to play. Tekken 4’s only real flaw is that there is nothing here that is revolutionary or groundbreaking, and while that really isn’t much of a flaw as a whole, it is something that is expected of the series for something new and great to come along. All in all, Namco has crafted another more than solid fighting game, and it is a worthy addition to any PS2 fighting fan’s library.
I’ve been following and playing the Tekken series from Tekken 2 on up to the new Tekken 4. I won’t be one of those saps that will challenge everybody on retrolio.com as they read this, for I know I’m good at the game and I’m pretty sure you are too. I just want to point out that Tekken 4 is so much better than Tekken 3, in terms of gameplay, music and sounds, environments, and story endings. The only drawback is that Tekken 4 does not have as many characters as Tekken Tag. I’ve tried to play other fighting games, but Tekken is without a doubt, the best fighting game around, and no other game compares. Learning wall strategy and the new sidestep and block techniques may be tricky at first (if you haven’t played at the arcade), but dedicated gamers will learn this within 1 to 2 weeks at best. I’ve noticed that the computer AI is much smarter than in previous Tekkens, especially with Tekken Force. The Practice mode is unbelievable, because now you can command your computer opponent to perform a move in three different intervals, and practice blocking, evading, and countering it!!! I guarantee that this is a game you don’t even have to rent first before you buy, because if you do, you may experience a “lackadaisical” attitude in taking it back to the video store. GET THIS GAME – YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!! – AWB
