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.

First Impressions My reaction is Fighting is good. As young kids, picking a fight at school and then attempting to beat the crap out of other kids with our bare hands was somewhat amusing, fun, liberating, and "cool" in a weird sense.

After a four year absence on consoles, the Tekken series has finally made its current-gen debut with its best entry yet. Tekken 6 offers new modes, expanded customization, and improved gameplay that is smoother than ever before.

Tekken 6

Tekken 6 is the latest installment of Namco's popular 3D fighter, Tekken. Although, Tekken 6 just recently made it to console, it has been out and playable for a couple years. The game was first released in Japanese arcades in November of 2007.

Fighting game fans already know the score. Tekken 6, finally console bound after living it up in arcades (beginning in Japan in 2007) for a while now, has also made its leap from seminal Sony exclusivity with a foray onto the Xbox 360.

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

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)

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.
