Tekken 6 brings some good shit to the table: solid gameplay, amazing stages, a huge roster, and some of the best tracks on the series. The customization options and online also took it's ultimate form on this entry. However, i hate some decisions on this game.

Jin's character arc took a awful turn because Harada had for years this terrible idea to turn him into a villain and unfourtunately he put it in this game. Like, Jin went from denying the Mishima curse and honor his deceased mother to suddenly going 'World War 3, i'm gonna do the worst thing someone did on this franchise' for some vague and stupid 'stop Azazel' bullshit. It's like the people behind the franchise forgot who Jin was and what he stood for just to make a cool 'edgy protagonist' for a 13 year old to use as his profile picture. And it's not just Jin—they messed up a bunch of character's endings too.

The Arcade mode? Some of the worst in the whole series. Tekken 6 also takes the trophy for the worst bosses of the entire franchise, Azazel and Nancy are legit some shit i'd expect from MUGEN and not a franchise that sold millions. No one likes to fight gigantic boring atrocities like those bosses.

The Scenario Campaign even being simple is pretty cool though. Even disliking the story a lot and really not being a fan of Lars and Alisa, i had a great time playing in it back in the Xbox 360 days. It's a mode that adds a lot of replayability to the game and a decent Tekken Force evolution. In the end Tekken 6 is not a bad game but it's definitely one of my least favorite Tekken's taking in consideration the few flaws of the game are huge.
