A game that has decided to make it obvious that if a player is button mashing.... perhaps it is under appreciated.
BOUND. The bound system has taken alot of negative criticism although i believe it is unjust. Considering how now most damage comes from this system it has taken alot of hits from players who have the urge to mash that 1+2f like the monster mash will need to resort to more tact ideas in order to take the win... unless they are ok with 50% of their health vanishing from a graceful and stunning combo. However beyond this the combat is more fluid then ever and is my personal favorite of the series.
The actual graphics of the game are actually rather impressive. stages Urban warfare and downtown are really neat pieces.
Now for the part of the game that really gets me hooked in to the game.... Customisation. the customising options of this game are really great and can make you change a character look entirely. with nice features such as Ki's and Item weapons and the awesome hair customisation will really define your character.
Im not gonna go on about the Absolutely weird scenario campaign story and characters because don't care much of this entries story... Look when you make Jin win 3 tournaments in a row your gonna lose interest. I DON'T CARE ABOUT JIN. The game play of the scenario campaign is actually a nice change of pace from the arcade tekken. The controls can be admittedly clunky but it doesn't tend to get you killed. it provides for a longer story mode and for those people who just can't be F@$!#* with scenario campaign there's always the very quick four battle story mode for characters other then lars and alisa.
I believe Tekken is a superb game and its bound system makes it the most fluid entry in the series to date and my favorite.
