    This game is Tekken perfection. I haven't taken it online yet, but I am more than happy with the content already provided to me. The Ghost Battles are endlessly entertaining, the Scenario Campaign is better than I thought it would be and is being unfairly bashed in my opinion.

If you have ever liked Tekken in the past, or just want a new fighter... get this game. Expand

    Tekken 6 is a great fighting game. It's very complex and deep fighting system will have people playing it for a while if they are committed into getting better at it. In every Tekken squeal, they reveal a new chapter of the story, new fighters and moves in your bag of tricks to master.

    the customization since the fifth Tekken game has increase significantly, you can custom the character
    Tekken 6 is a great fighting game. It's very complex and deep fighting system will have people playing it for a while if they are committed into getting better at it. In every Tekken squeal, they reveal a new chapter of the story, new fighters and moves in your bag of tricks to master.

    the customization since the fifth Tekken game has increase significantly, you can custom the character to the point that it looks like an entirely different character. But it isn't a FASHION SHOW, it's a fighting game!

    The online IS the where the serious Tekken player can be very competitive where your skills are strained. You are also ranked and your wins and loses are recorded and displayed to you opponents and to Tekken leaderboard browsers. But then you WILL learn in the biggest on concept of Tekken 6 is strategy and anticipation.

    The story goes can go as deep as just watching a HI-Res cut scene of whatever fighter you completed the arcade with BUT it's goes even further in Scenario Campaign Mode which is like Tekken Force Mode but times 20 (Online CoOP capable). You see some of the 40 fighters involved in the story plot of a new family member of the Mishima family and Dr. B's new creation to stop evil. I couldn't follow the story much.....I just wanted to make bank for customization.

    A few NEW systems are added to Tekken 6. Juggling is also a primary concept in Tekken 6. Attacking opponents while they are in midiair, it's hard to explain but you could go on the internet and searcj for Tekken 6 combos and see for yourself. This system is ABUSED in online mode.

    Rage Mode is when your fighter is near defeat. It's health bar glows red showing your fighter is PISSED!

    i believe tekken is a great game and it will always be better than mortal kombat. this game is very fun and has excellent graphics! it is especially fun if you buy a joystick from gamestop or somewhere? i got mine at xgaming and hooked it up to the arcade machine i got from http://www.recroommasters.com/Default.asp and it works perfectly!

    Tekken 6 is a worthy successor of the Tekken tittle. Despite it's different story mode, it fills you with the action that the past Tekken games had. Werther you play alone in the story mode, ghost mode, online or versus with your friends the game is enjoyable as ever. The characters are all unlocked by the time you put your disc inside the console, also the Xbox 360 version of the gameTekken 6 is a worthy successor of the Tekken tittle.

The characters are all unlocked by the time you put your disc inside the console, also the Xbox 360 version of the game has notably a really quicker loading than the PlayStation 3 version. (thus, the graphics are the same)

    The plot, fills you with the past games, and yes, like the past few Tekken games each character has their own purpose and reasons to join into the Iron Fist Tournament. The main story focuses on the adventure of Lars, though you can choose with which character you play. (the dialog may change depending on the characters personality, though in the videos, Lars is always shown) Your side-kick is the robotic girl named Alisa.

    Tekken 6 is a worthy game for any collection, and I recommended it if you're a fan of Versus modes and arcade, fighting games. The best way to play this game, is to have a few friends over.

    The story mode seems to have been hastily assembled and the graphics on it look very dated, but where Tekken 6 really shines is in all its other features, from the very robust online play, to the endlessly fun versus modes. In addition I have to say the physics on this game and the rendered animations are simply astounding.

    Tekken 6 is a well needed upgrade from Tekken 5: DR. The graphics make it the most visually appealing fighting game, and huge combo lists add to the play styles for each character. The bound system, is also a nice new addition, allowing players to make their old juggles much longer and more punishing. If your looking for a good fighter, I highly recommend Tekken 6.

    Tekken 6 is a fighting game with lot of modes to play on,there are 40 fighters already unlocked so it will take a while to learn to master thei new moves,especially the new fighters.Whats new here is scenario mode where you control Lars acompanied by Alisa controlled by the AI,the scenario mode plays alot like tekken force but it has actual story into it,its not really a fun mode to playTekken 6 is a fighting game with lot of modes to play on,there are 40 fighters already unlocked so it will take a while to learn to master thei new moves,especially the new fighters.Whats new here is scenario mode where you control Lars acompanied by Alisa controlled by the AI,the scenario mode plays alot like tekken force but it has actual story into it,its not really a fun mode to play but its essential so that you can unlock each character to play the arena mode which plays like story mode.If your a fan of Tekken or you just like to beat the crap outta someone,Tekken 6 has a lot to offer,you will not be dissapointed.

    Tekken has always been my favourite fighting game right from Tekken 3.It has large rosters,great new story elements and the fighting is good as ever.But something doesnt make it a classic for me like Tekken 3 and 5.Its very good,but i believe it can be made even better.

    Tekken 6 is a solid inclusion to the franchise. Crisp visuals, great music, and fantastic characters. Every single character has an intricate playing style. Easy to play, difficult to master.

    This game is simply excellent. Each Level you fight at feels unique and different, some feature breakable walls or floors, and have stuff going on in the background adding a little extra depth and character to each of these Locations.

    This game is simply excellent. Each Level you fight at feels unique and different, some feature breakable walls or floors, and have stuff going on in the background adding a little extra depth and character to each of these Locations.

    The Scenario Mode I have mixed feelings about it, I greatly enjoy the more fleshed out interactions between characters, showing us hints of their individual personalities. this was something huge new and fresh especially for me because I only played the PSP version. Though I will say the Scenario Mode Combat is far from smooth, Its completely divorced from the Normal Gameplay you only have a couple of moves for whichever character you choose. Personally I think this would have worked much better If it gave you a choice of lets say up to moves you could use for this mode, i get what they were going for but, I feel it could have been executed better.

    The Cosmetic Customization is even better than Tekken 7. In Tekken 7 you unlock with in game lootboxes while these are not monetized they still leave an awful taste in my mouth. In Tekken 6 All the Items are there available for you from the Beginning, It just a matter of accumulating the neccessary amount of in Game currency to get the items you want.

    The Game has a low Skill floor making it very accessible for new and less skilled players, whilst also having a very high skill ceiling giving players something to strive for, The ranking system is also excellent as you have to fight and defeat high Ranking characters in order to improve your rank [As of the time Im writing this review Im at 1st Dan]

    You want to prove your skill take your game online and challenge people from around the world.

    The Actual Combat outside of Scenario is buttery Smooth, 40 Characters each with their own unique fighting style...and it feels rewarding when you learn a characters moveset, just as it does when you rank up.

    Overall I give it a 9 prevented from reaching 10 because of the desicion to cut Gold Rush mode, but the game has plenty of content fun buttery smooth gameplay excellent,extensive comsetic Customization.

    if you are a fighting game fan like me and have a PS3/ Xbox 360/One then Get this game. You Will Not Regret it.

    Tekken 6 has a lot to offer, including a massive roster, refined gameplay, plenty of modes, online multiplayer and an absurd amount of character customization options.

    It is slick in production, providing a lot of what one could reasonably ask for in a fighting game. The game is as accessible as ever, pretty to look at and arcade-perfect to a T.
  3. Tekken 6 is probably the best fighting game from this generation.
