Were to start... okay lets start in the past. I grew up from but a wee boy of six playing tekken with my older brother, he always beat me, but it was always fun, and always good practice. Fast forward fourteen years and I now have my hands on tekken 6. I have done everything with this game and I am not disappointed, for the most part.
Gameplay is great, controls are silky smooth, and they added newer, flashier moves to both even out the cast, and to make the game more fun to watch. The new characters are a welcome addition, and the refinement of the newer characters from Tekken 5 was also done perfectly.
For me online wasn't bad at all, you can choose the connection speed of the people your fighting against and if you have a good enough connection every game will be without lag.
Now to get to the bad part, which i retrospect should not be a surprise. The adventure mode is awful. They tried to make the 3-D game control like Tekken and failed miserably, while it is not unplayable, it isn't that much fun. They should have made an adventure mode like in tekken 3 which for those that don't know was a side scrolling game like Streets of rage, or final fight. It was great, and the only acceptable adventure mode in the entire game's series. a lot of games have showed us that side scrolling is not dead, and Namco should take the hint. Additionally they also moved the ending cut scenes that everyone loves to this lack luster adventure mode. I feel this was a bad idea, they should have kept it in arcade mode.
All in all if you have played tekken competitively, or grew up with it like i did you will feel right at home, and love this game until the next one comes out. If not, there is a 10% chance you will be disappointed because the learning curve is so steep, and most people have played it more then you. As I see it ,Tekken6 is like a delicious meal begging to be cooked, the more time you put into it, the greater the outcome
