Tekken: Dark Resurrection

Dark Ressurection Just Misses Joining the Few Great PSP Classics

           Tekken: Dark Resurrection continues the same combo-style fighting system that many others have done before, but this time around the developer had to deal with the PSP's control limitations. With only 4 face buttons and a not-so-precise d-pad, there were some hiccups. One way that this game compensates for its problems is a very in-depth character customization and a new mode called Tekken Dojo. Essentially Tekken Dojo is played like you are a new fighter working your way up through the dans and kyus until you are the TEKKEN MASTER. Another interesting feature that kept me going way longer than I should have is a Win/Loss  percentage counter, which keeps a running tally of your wins and losses and gives you a percentage. For being a PSP game, the graphics are quite amazing and has very short loading times. In conclusion, the few but heavy mistakes keep  this game from being included in the few but great PSP classics.

Tekken: Dark Resurrection(PlayStation Portable) by uncled on July 25, 2008
I have been with the Tekken series right from the first time I loaded Tekken into my Playstation over ten years ago. I knew it then and know it now it is the greatest fighting series ever, in my opnion surpassing even Street Fighter and Soul Calibur. With each installment Tekken just got bigger and better, my personal highlight of the series is Tekken 2. The amount of hours wasted on that game is uncalcuable and I still play it to this day. Anyway I got Tekken 5 DR for christmas as part of my ...
