Tekken: Dark Resurrection

July 23, 2006

MTV have given Tekken: Dark Resurrection a nice 9.2 out of 10 on the Sony PSP. Tekken has always been a top seller for Sony and no doubt it will be a hit on the small screen PSP. Tekken takes it charachters from Tekken 5 but adds more fighters, more moves, new backgrounds, customised options and a lot more. The game has raised the bar to show off what the Sony PSP is capable of. It reminds me of how GT3 and GT4 pushed the PS2 beyond what people thought.

Some of the pros are that it has the best graphics on the PSP so far
Lots of modes
Lots of charachters to fight with
Handles just like you would want Tekken to handle.

The only cons of the device are just the diagonals on the D pad. They can be a bit hard to get some of the moves to execute from time to time. I am sure some practice and skill will fix that though.

The graphics have been made to a high quality although there are not as many polygons as the arcade version. This is ok for the portable though. Gameplay is where it is at and the graphics despite being behind the arcade are still not that far behind to worry about it.
