Tekken at debatably it’s finest. This was the game I grew up with along with Tag and 3. When I think of Tekken I think of Tekken 5. It’s gameplay is just as good as the recent games, and it’s story is great as well. I got this copy for nostalgic reasons and I enjoy every second I play it. As the battle rages on I await my next opponent.

Tekken 5 was the last of the series to grace ps2 and it makes for one epixlc experience. New features had been added that are still with us now into entry 7. Only complaint is how broken and overpowered Jinpachi is. There is a reason he is number 1 in numerous lists about over powered and broken boss battles...

Ive played Tekken from the first Playstation till Tekken 5. So I am not new to this game, in fact I'm really good at it. I will start with the bad part because its short. The worst part of the game is when the end boss is so hard, that if you take a single hit, you are basically finished, it kinda takes away from the fun factor of the game. If you block, he can stun you. If you attack, he dodges. If you start learning his moves, he changes accordingly. And with an attack that does about 90% damage in a single hit with about a 1 second delay, its no fun. If you dodge, he can fire another one right after the first. So basically, you have to beat him as fast as possible without guarding and pray he doesn't use his death move. Now the end boss was the only part of the game I really didn't like, Unless you buy a gameshark and put the code in to unlock. Luckily you can't unlock him while playing the game normally. Now for the good parts, like Character movements and attacks are more smooth then previous games. The graphics are slightly higher then 4, and obviously alot better then Tekken 1 - 3. Tekken 5 also has a kinda of cool character customization feature where you can buy items for characters, and customize colors of 3 sections. They added a new feature called "Tekken : Devil Within". Its the story of Jin's past. Basically you play as Jin and go through levels beating enemies. Its kinda hard because of the controls and camera angles. Basically you get a single button for kicking, punching, blocking, and jumping. Then the analog stick for moving. Its slightly fun for the first time, but when you die, it becomes kinda boring. Though, a friend of mine loved it and thats all he did. It just depends on what you like. Its more like a Third Person Fighter. My all time favorite thing they added was an arcade mode. It has Tekken 1, 2, and 3 in arcade style. You have most of the characters unlocked in each game right from the start. But, it is the arcade version so theres no menu's and options. You just get the basic game, which is fine with me. All in all, this game is good, but I feel the end boss alone made it a game that has a lower replay value, which may be the reason they added the arcade mode. I find it hard for myself to play through the story because of this, and thats a large part of the game. But if you can beat it, the stories are interesting. Much like Tekken 2, which is my favorite. If you can find a strategy for beating the end boss, then this game would rival Tekken 2. Like all fighting games of course, you just have to find a weak point. Hopefully this gives a good insight to this game, and if you can still find it, I would suggest buying it because its usually cheap if you can find it. I personally bought mine here on ebay because my local stores didn't have any new or used copies. Thank you for reading my review!Read full review
Tekken 5 has a dark atmosphere compared to its previous entry but keeps its fighting roots intact. The game is fun and challenging with interesting characters and a cool story, its a great fighting game. Also not mentioned is that the game contains ports of the first 3 arcade Tekken games, definitely recommend.

Good game overall Tekken 5 for PS3 has more characters. Still a good game, aged like fine wine.
