| Re: Tekken
I've never been too much of a fan of the Tekken series. I've always thought that it was a tier below my favorite fighting games, Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution and Soul Caliber 2. Tekken 5' fighting system just never held me in as much as those other fighters. But I have to admit that Tekken 5 is definately a step-up in the Tekken series and I did find myself enjoying Tekken 5.
There were a lot of stuff that I absolutely loved about about Tekken 5 though. The game is fun. It's a lot more accessible than something like Virtua Fighter 4. I like also liked the big roster of characters and this game has some of the best character balancing that I've seen since Virtua Fighter 4. The graphics are pretty damn nice also. It's impressive how much Namco added to the home release of Tekken 5. There's a whole lot of game here.
I didn't like the "Devil Within" mode though. It felt extremely tacky and rushed and that there were a few really chessy moments in the adventure mode but those overall don't take away from the total experience.
