Overall then you’ve got another decent enough Tekken plot here, but one that possibly doesn’t take quite as many steps forward as I’d like – it’s still a fascinating world filled with likeable characters though, so I certainly can’t complain too much. In a way it’s a little disappointing to see things haven’t evolved much in the 10 years since Tekken 3, but on the flip side it provides some comfort that these characters are the same ones you’ll remember. The central storyline is focused around a handful of characters (including newcomers Alisha and Lars) but each cast member has their own plot, told through a comic book-style scene at the beginning of their story mode and a CGI scene at the end. Many of these harken back to the things established years ago – Nina and Anna are still fighting, Xiaoyu still wants to help Jin but only has her Panda to rely on etc. Tekken has always had a convoluted and nonsensical story centred around family drama mixed in with supernatural elements but things are dialled up to 11 here in a way I wasn’t really expecting – giving Tekken 6 a unique feel that is slightly darker than its predecessors. Still, you can expect to see plenty of Egyptian Gods, warring Mishima family members and the infamous Devil gene here – although admittedly I wasn’t quite as engaged as I had been during previous entries, it’s all interesting enough. The new leader of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Jin Kazama, has declared war with anyone who opposes him which has led to conflicts across the globe and his father, Kazuya Mishima, is leading the G Corporation to oppose him. In order to bring this to a conclusion, Jin declares the sixth King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to defeat Kazuya once and for all, and fighters from around the world re-surface in order to join in the battle. In the world of Tekken 6, things have escalate to a worrying head.
A superb handheld port of Namco’s premier fighting franchise that delivers gorgeous visuals and addictive gameplay in a brilliant overall package.
