Tekken 1 is the start of the Tekken franchise and it will be a rival to Sega's 3D fighting game Virtua Fighter. I have to be honest that I'm not an OG fan of the series since the first game but I've always played Tekken 6 at my nearest arcade. But it shows how the game started.

The opening of the game aged like milk on how the characters look and move, like when it showed Michelle running and the flip, same with the part when Kazuya punches the candle, you can kinda see his arm coming out of him.

The main game doesn't look the greatest but the gameplay is simple and a bit better than Virtue fighter, each button is assigned on the character's limb, for example, the △ button makes the player punch on their right arm. One thing is that there isn't a movelist that you can see in-game so you either have to remember the character's moves from another game or look it up on the internet. One weird thing is that when you fall down, you are just lying on the ground for a long time for the opponents to do any moves that hit you on the ground.

The characters in the game look weird but they are cool and kinda different from each other. One character that I liked playing was Marshall Law, he was based on Bruce Lee with his outfits and moves. He does cool flips to make his opponents fly up in the air. One cool thing is that there are secret characters that you unlock when beating the arcade mode. Sadly, most of them are just reskins with moves from the main cast.

The story is very easy to understand when it came out, Kazuya Mishima is trying to get revenge from his dad, Heihachi Mishima for throwing him off a cliff when he was 5 years old. Heihachi is the final boss for everyone in the game and when you beat him as Kazuya.

The soundtrack is fine. And you can listen to the arcade version of it which is cool. I give the game 5 of out 10. I see the game as a showcase on how Tekken evolved.
