Overall, the bottom line is that even though this isn't exactly a next-generation game, it's still Tekken.

User Rating: 8 | Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection PS3

The full picture of Tekken: Dark Resurrection doesn't stack up to Virtua Fighter 5, because, afterall, these games were developed in two different generations. That said, don't expect to see any other visual enhancements other than what I just mentioned: framerate, HD resolutions, and stages. So that means the fighters won't look superb, and you'll see some rough spots here and there -- and it'd have been nice of Namco-Bandai to smooth out some of those rough edges. Regardless, Tekken: Dark Resurrection still looks solid even by next-gen standards; the ability to render in 720p, 1080i, and 1080p really makes a difference.
Overall, the bottom line is that even though this isn't exactly a next-generation game, it's still Tekken. In fact, it's the best iteration of Tekken, thus far. You're getting an arcade perfect port that features enhanced visuals and superb gameplay. Despite the fact that it's a little barebones, Tekken: Dark Resurrection for the PS3 is still a terrific value. The customization and the purchasing of game endings should definitely keep most people playing for quite some time. With Virtua Fighter 5 and now this, it's a good time to be a fan of the genre.
