This game in particular for the PlayStation...

I had this game after I had Tekken 3 on the same console, as I wanted to see were the series originally started from. This game was fun to play, yet it is often overshadowed by later games in the series.

Graphics: 7 The graphics on this game were like no other at the time. Unlike Virtua Fighter on the Sega 32x, this game's models were 3.D. and textured to look like real people. The background also had parallax scrolling unseen in any other game in the series to give it a more 3 dimensional feel, the animations are a bit clunky, but that's okay, as it was one of the first 3.D. fighting games.

Sound: 8 The sound effects in this game are your average punches and kicks mixed in with the occasional grunts, no big deal. The soundtrack on the other hand, was a totally different story. The music is great and fun to listen to, it showed the PlayStation 1's capability to produce higher quality sound then something seen in a Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis. It's up-beat and keeps you aware of your surroundings.

 Addictiveness: 7 The game is still somewhat fun to play to this day, the only problem is that the animation and graphics are worse than its squeals, and is often rejected for them.

Story: 4 I'm not saying this in a bad way, i'm just saying that there is not much of it in the game. The story goes that a powerful man known as Hehachi Mishima starts a tournament known as the King of The Iron Fist, where you fight until you face him, and if you win, you get $1 billion dollars. You have a small amount of characters to play from and more unlock able characters as you play.

Depth: 7 The game has some things to do in it, but not a lot, as it has less modes than in the other games, but the main mode is the arcade mode in which you fight for the prize. 

Difficulty: 9 The game is quite hard to play, as the controls are clunky and at times some characters have moves that are WAY too powerful, even on medium mode. Good luck beating Hehachi though, as I only beat him a few times as he is really hard in this game.

OVERALL: 8.2 The game is a fun game that changed the history of fighting games forever, yeah Virtua Fighter was cool, but this game did it better, with greater controls and more characters to play as.This game can be bought for $5 used and over $200 unopened and graded. So if you still have a PlayStation 1 or 2, do yourself a favor and pick up this piece of history. You wont regret it. Trust me.

Wow! What amazing review here! I grew up with Tekken games. Sadly I couldn't keep up with the game until they went onto consoles I can't buy for reasons. I enjoy reading your review. It makes me want to replay the game like old times. Yes I have to agree Tekken wasn't most known when it came to ps1 consoles, but luckily I was one of the few out there, that fortunately got to play the game at the time. And that is thanks to my brother. We quickly came to love the game since it became a favourite fighting game of ours. Thank you for doing a review on this game.

Eniitan : Thanks for your response! I saw your one on my review of Tekken 3 (and I might do Tekken 2 as well), I got to play them recently on my spare time and decided to make a review on them. You should get them too, in fact, if you have a PlayStation 2, Tekken 5 have the arcade modes of Tekken 1, 2, and 3, so you can feel like you are at the arcades again! (I may make a review on that game soon) you should replay them, as Tekken 7 is coming worldwide soon, and from what I have seen, you will really enjoy it.

DragonSlayer22 : I forgot to reply back to this thread. I am sure I played Tekken 5 on the PS2 its just beyond that console I stopped playing new Tekken games, that's either on the Xbox, PS3 and so on. I don't go and buy consoles I know I won't really spend time on sadly. I haven't seen Tekken 7 yet, but when I do I'll give you a feedback of what I thought about it.
