After the hope I thought Tekken 6 would be good sadly it feels slow and so last gen and virtually just plain boring from what I can say. I have even tried my hardest to like it but it just doesn't have the spark of Street Fighter 4. It feels old and nowhere near as fun.
The main areas that hurt the game are online and single player. Even Dark Resurrection on the PSP was miles better than it and I got that game at a budget price. The single player campaign makes the Subspace Emissary look great. At least with certain single player expereinecs in fighters you get rewards. Here are a few examples.
In Tekken Dark Resurrection you get unlockable mini games and fighting opponents is fun because they get stronger as you play them.
Street Fighter 4 well you complete the Arcade Mode you get unlockable characters. Soul Calibur 2 a game I recently bought even rewards you and has a excellent single player experience called weapons master where you can purchase new weapons and more characters. Even though the Subspace Emiassry in SSBB does suck at least you have an easier way to get characters like Falco,Sonic,Snake,Ganon,Lucario,Luigi,Game and Watch and so on. Tekken 6 basically gives you no reward for its single player.You do get to change your characters outfit but why would I want that it doesn't affect the gameplay or make your character better.
Fighting games aren't about single player but at least some of them do have fun single player. I played World Tour in Street Fighter Alpha 3 which was worth it. Tekken Dojo in Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection and Weapons Master in Soul Calibur 2 and they were all fun and rewarding. Maybe its a good idea SEGA haven't made a Streets of Rage in 3D because thats what it would look like yes Tekken 6. Also the game has one of the cheapest final bosses ever which is about 3 times your size. It makes Seth look like a pushover.
Anyway I have had enough with the game and aren't playing it. I am gonna trade it in on Friday for Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time which isn't out in the UK yet. Can I say I am really looking forward to playing Ratchet and Clank after playing the demo. The game shall keep me busy for about 4 or 5 days when I have it. Tekken 6 is boring and flat and lacks any spark compared to its predesscors and most importantly its rivals. Street Fighter 4,Virtual Fighter 5,Dead or Alive 4,Soul Calibur 4,BlazeBlue Calamity Trigger.
I gave the game a 7.6 and while its not normally a bad score you could say for a series like Tekken it certainly is. The only real reason to play this is if your a die hard fan of the series which I aren't. So I shall be trading it in for Ratchet and Clank which hits the store on Friday in the UK.
These are the reasons why Tekken 6 was dissapointing in my opinion. I am stating facts from fighting games that had fun single player expereinces that were fun to play and not all about multiplayer but Tekken 6 virtually does suck. I aren't being biased towards the series I am being completely honest that against its fighting game counterparts it is trailing well behind them.
