I have been playing Tekken since the second installment came out. I have loved playing the 4th and 5th installments, and the storylines in each were great. The gameplay was well thought out, in the 4th and 5th; something that is lacking in this Tekken. Those of you who have played Tekken 5 should remember one of the most significant additions, which was "The Devil Within" mini- (or sub-) game where you played as Jin. Imagine a whole game system built on that gameplay. It's as if "The Devil Within" met "Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2" and one of the worst games in Tekken history has ever been made. The online gameplay is lagging so bad, I could not keep up with anything that was going on. I read a simlar review that said the online was lagging, but I thought they were making excuses; it is no lie. The great things about this game is the roster of characters, and the fact that it's the first Tekken game to hit the new generation consoles...but I would have preffered to wait for a year or two more for them to make it into what it used to be. The standard Arcade mode (that presented each characters story) is no longer fully present, until it is unlocked by playing through the main storyline on the map system. The controls were very touchy, until I tried the arcade mode, and a calming sense of familiarity swept over me, until I found out I have to unlock every character by beating them as a boss in the main storyline. If you are a diehard Tekken fan, then try your luck, otherwise stay away...
