After the death of Heihachi Mishima, the fifth King of Iron Fist Tournament began. It was thought that the crime syndicate that ran the Iron Fist Tournament would cease to exist with its leader gone, but a mysterious new figure has stepped in to take command. Now the Mishima Zaibatsu has announced the fifth Iron Fist Tournament, and old warriors will meet new challengers as they try to claim victory one more time. Tekken 5 lets you join this battle as one of many characters, including three fighters who are new to the Tekken series. This time, the environments feature destructible objects and dangerous obstacles.

It’s been a while since I last played a Tekken. I had a brief experience with Tekken Tag Team which was a lot of fun. But the last Tekken I’d played primarily was Tekken 3. Tekken 5 blows it completely out of the water, as one would expect. It’s got the most amazing graphics, which comparing it to Tekken 1-3 (which comes included in the game) makes those characters look like mutants.The new stages and music are absolutely stunning. A far cry from Tekken 3. Though Tekken Tag Team was fun since one could almost interact (kill) the spectators. The stages are uniquely amusing since one can travel to a lovely country side (by a church?), to a pool party, and beyond (space: the final frontier)!I suppose my only main complaint would be that Xiaoyu looks too old to be acting the way she does (disturbing), and that Law looked completely different: unrecognizable until I looked at his Move List. That and the thumbnails for the characters were pretty tiny.On a side note, it seemed that Tekken decided to include one of those overpowered bosses that takes off about 1/3+ HP with every hit in their Story Mode. Difficult, but fun once you get the hang of it.Over all this game was a lot of fun with the inclusion of a few new characters, and new moves. The fighting is smooth and slick with the hope that the opponent does not spend his entire time crouching. Steve will always make me laugh since I tried to use him without looking at his list. Needless to say I was quite surprised to.
That’s all I have to say….okay, not really. Not only has NAMCO made another Tekken that beats the previous titles, it’s another case of, “This latest Tekken(great fighting) game beats the latest Dead or Alive(crappy excuse for a fighting) game”.I break down the game in the following categories:Gameplay – Now, Tekken has never been about “press buttons randomly and you’ll stand a chance, dude!”, that’s Dead of Alive and Virtua Fighter. So once again there is a great deal of challenge involved. It’s combo system is a better Tekken 4 combo system, but the juggle system is a dream, bringing back the glory days of Tripple T, which fits unsurprisingly excelently. The arenas are a little more interactive than the last game, the ground breaks beneath you when hit hard enough, although it looks the same in every stage. The only floor effects that look different are the glass and ice, they break like glass, obviously. I personally thinks it’s a nice touch. Also, wall combos are harder to do, but are, in return for the sake of balance, harder to get out of than in 4. Each character is balanced perfectly and the 3 new characters, Asuka, who plays like Jun Kazama, and Feng Way and Raven, who have original fighting styles, fit in just like characters that have been in the series since the first game, and they are major fun to pick up, and once again, Jin Kazama’s fighting style is almost completely redone form 4, but Devil Jin plays exactly like Tekken 3 Jin. The minigame could’.
My son was really excited to get this game. It was for his birthday and he spent the day enjoying it.
Very nice…very nice. Infact Namco has outdone themselves (until the PS3 arrives that is) in this remarkable game. Now, everything you read from the other people who have owned the game longer than a month, and reviewed it, is TRUE. However there’s one thing they forgot to mention:In respect to the fighting system, there’s a little shortage of defense here even as impressive and balanced the fighting is. Comparison to Tekken 4, side-stepping, recovery from knock downs, walls (especially) have been limited to an extent. Side stepping (from Tekken Tag) has been brought back as “tap, quick tap and hold to strafe”, unlike the relatively more useful “tap to move, tap and hold to strafe” in Tekken 4. This problem is really a massive headache (especially in difficulty Ultra Hard) when you ABSOLUTELY need to evade (i.e., Jinpachis’ cheating, Irvin, Asuka Kazama), because if it is a failed attempt and you rush the D-pad command to side-step? You’ll end up JUMPING straight up and making yourself 10 times more vulnerable than you were crouch-gaurding and praying they won’t make a Mid-attack.Tekken 5 is a close-knit match of trying to excecute the best counter move, and unleash a string of mid-air combos to gain the advantage. This in part (taking away the multi-tierd levels in Tekken 4), walls are a problem. What makes it worse, Namco has decidedly taken out “Wall Ukemi” or Wall recovery to make the situation more dramatic and strategic. But this is where I see a conflict in the system.
Great game. Best Token for ps2.
This game is god!!! Raven, Asuka, Feng-Wei, Bruce, Bryan, whatever. The animations are perfect!!!!!Buy Buy Buy!!!!!!!
Let me start off by saying this as of right now Tekken 5 is the best fighter on the planet. Nothing can compete, not Soul Calibur, not DOA, not Mortal Kombat, not even Virtua Fighter 4 (sorry) nothing! Game play wise my beloved Tekken Tag is close to Tekken 5 but overall it falls short of Tekken 5’s greatness. Another thing that people say about Tekken is that its control scheme is too simple. Yeah right, the control system is easy to pick up but difficult to master. I’m not bias either, as I owned every one of these titles above. With that being said, I am a huge Tekken fan. I own every one (Tekken 1-3 are 3 of the 4 PSOne games I still own) Tekken redeems itself with The King of Iron First 5. I thought Tekken 4, with its super gorgeous graphics, sucked. It did, it strayed away from what is Tekken. The single biggest flaw of Tekken 4 was the enhanced side stepping which in turn changed the blocking system.Tekken 5 returns the series to the top of the fighting genre. Gone are the “enhanced” features of Tekken 4, so now the game plays like Tekken Tag & Tekken 3. The breakdown is as followsGame Play:Every Tekken plays faster and more fluid than the last and the latest iteration is no different. Tekken 5 is the fastest and most fluid entry ever. It has all the modes that that you would expect like theater mode, etc. This is Tekken at its best. It reminds of the first time I played Tekken Tag at PS2’s launch. My friends and I played for hours and Tekken 5 has us doi.
This game blows me away. Tekken has always been the most solid fighting game on the ps2 and this one is no exception. The graphics are mind blowing easily one of the most visually appealling games on the ps2 ever. The character models look great and the music fits in more than any of the others have before it. The dumb position changes and different leveled floors from tekken 4 have been smartly removed. It seemed they listed to the users and just added in everything we wanted to see. The customization feature strongly resembles Vf4’s in that you can change the colours of your costume, buy items and truly make your favourite character your own. you can then take your character in Arcade mode and raise you players rank and the challenge gets harder and harder. The only thing that keeps this from being perfect is no Online play but it makes it up with the amount of new things in the game. the three new characters in the game are all very differnt from the origional characters apart from Asuka Kazama who is related to Jun Kazama who was killed after Tekken 2 they share the same kind of fighting style and moves that fans of Jun will recognize and pick up on. Tekken 5 has the best roster in the game since tekken 3 with alot of returning characters not seen in the tekken game since tekken 2 (not including Tag Tournament) What makes this even more clever is that they have added Tekken 1, 2 and 3 into the Aracade History mode so you potentially have almost all of Tekken’s history on.
I love me some Tekken. Tekken 5, & the DR version of PSP were some of the greatest when it came to customization. Tekken 6 & Tag Tournament 2 would knock that out of the ball park & all, but still I loved putting food & cooking items all off my favorite fighting chef – Marshall Law. I also loved trying out the different characters, especially the kangaroo – Roger Jr. (or really his mom, I just wish they had incorporated a way for the baby to actually do something. They still didn’t in Tekken 6…), Panda & Kuma, & a couple of others.Another thing I liked about Tekken in general is all of the character stances, but especially those that were really animated. One reason why I liked Law so much was his stance animation, it’s actually funny how he kind of hops on his toes a bit. And how Roger Jr. (& his mom) swing their boxing gloves & kind of rock back & forth before the fight begins. I also enjoyed the cutscenes even in their cheeziness & the intro scenes for all of the characters. That alone got me pumped to play this game. I also loved the environments (again kicked up several notches by later titles), but for the PS2 these places were beautiful.I also loved the stage & character themes so much that I downloaded the themes whenever I could. Tekken is my jam really.
All the Tekken games are great, but they’ve always been missing something. The thing was, you could play Tekken for hours and get no reward other than self-satisfaction. Now, you get money. You can play arcade matches for days and get money to buy things to put on characters while increasing the rank of your favorites and, as the manual says, learning new skills. I haven’t confirmed this new skill buisness, but I haven’t reached legend rank yet. About the money: while you can’t make characters have insane things on them, it is interesting to see different variations on your favorites. You can make Kazuya look really cool with glasses, iron shoulder pads, and a gun on his belt. You can rig out King with a bamboo stick. You can give Nina a katana for her back. While of course you can’t use these weapons and objects, it is cool to see your favorite characters carrying them around.The game has more characters than tekken 4, and about the same amount as tekken tag. Alot of old favorites are there such as baek, anna, and roger. There are also 4 new ones. The main boss is cheap beyond belief. He has this one ground stomp attack that knocks you off balance for at least 3 seconds. His flame strike thing takes away half your health. He can cast his flame thing two times in a row, meaning it’s really hard to dodge. I figure most pros will consider him to be too cheap to play and, without saying anything, agree to not use him. Raven is a really cool ninja with some interesting combos whe.
