2009 is unquestionably the year of the fighting game.  With no less than eight major fighting games arriving on consoles this year, we've seen more hyper-combos, barrier-bursts, critical finishers, snapback attacks, juggle combos, and deadlocks than ever before.

Graphically, the game looks very good, in fact the best it's ever looked, but somehow different. The characters have that next gen look about them but may be a little too shiny and bumpy for their own good. I have to admit though, the animations look incredible & very natural and lifelike.

Fighting This morning's edification. I have always had a thing for the Tekken series. Tekken 2 was the first game I brought for my Playstation 2 (along with Ridge Racer Revolution and some horrid Sony basketball game) and loved playing it with friends and would become a multiplayer staple of our...

"Tekken 6 for the Xbox 360 is a thralling action fighting game with tons of game modes and lots of fighters. The Tekken franchise has always been big wherever its brought out. Tekken 6 fails to disappoint fans and proves what real fighting games are like.

40 +  characters; Non stop action and gorgeous graphics

loading screens; too many old faces and not quick enough

Tekken 6 is just like the other Tekken games, a very good fighting game, it is one of the best on the Xbox 360 and can not see it being rivaled by any other fighter apart from the new street fighter game.

Like many protagonists in bare-knuckle brawling games, I've often considered myself an ice-cold merciless fist-fighter with a disarming honesty. Furthermore, I also suffer from sporadic amnesia, like Lars from Tekken 6.

Negatives? Not many; Sometimes switching targets in Scenario campaign can be hackneyed and the story is fairly forgettable; There's also a lot of loading screens and some people will not find the controls to their liking, and it could be argued that the online mode isn't ideal for Australian gamers...

What’s not to like? Blend the arcade style gameplay of the classics, some new and improved features and superior visuals - the result; Tekken 6. The hours of entertainment that can be had with the Tekken series is fantastic and Tekken 6 by all means does not fall short.

New features such as the Scenario Campaign and enhanced customization keep the game interesting; Nice visual presentation packs that ‘punch'; A few new faces on the character list; Feels just as good as its predecessors, and is easy for veterans to familiarise themselves with once again.

Unfortunately the new story-type game mode is tedious; Online play, particularly with non-local players feels very unresponsive; Is known to cause cursing amongst frustrated players (due to its often challenging nature - which is not necessarily a bad thing)

Barring a few arcade spin offs the game has always remained an exclusive to Sony consoles with Tekken and the stunning Tekken 2 gracing the PS1 with Tekken Tag, Tekken 3, 4 and 5 all appearing on the PS2, not forgetting the PSP Tekken games too.

Tekken 6

Despite some niggling imperfections, Tekken 6 is the best entry yet in the series and certainly worth your fighting game dollar.
