Fun gameplay and varied characters - Tekken has a lot of weight and may look a bit sluggish but it makes hits count and it feels satisfying when they do.

Story mode is very bad and revolves around maybe 5 characters, its slow paced, it's boring and ends suddenly. The reporter frame is delivered like dry paint and frankly I think focusing on the horrors of war in a game where half the cast acts like Loony Tunes characters is very weird.

I grew up with Tekken 3 and I think the short endings were much more intriguing and helped building a world even if the plot wasn't so clear. If this is the plot it was probably for the bes. Limitation breeds creativity.

Visually the game looks good but the art direction is muddy and there are not a lot of iconic designs. The slow-mos are cool - helps the fights feel dynamic and gives ques about timing and reach.

It's a good entry but I wish the single player experience was better
