Arcade mode in itself is a severe disappointment though, forcing you to fight against a seemingly unbeatable robot, an overpowered Jin Kazama and a cheap, larger than life final boss. There are over 40 characters available from the start including 6 all new combatants. Once I entered the Arcade mode and saw the huge array of fighters my heart began to warm-up. This was by far one of the most clunky main menus I have ever seen and navigating through it was a pain until I learned where everything was.

On the left were the usual selections (Online Mode, Offline Mode, Gallery, Options etc.), on the the right was my “profile information” which displayed my won/lost ratio, my fight money and my report rank, while in the background a character from the game was moving around in his fight stance while tanks drove by behind him shooting and causing mulitple explosions. Once I finally reached the main menu things didn’t get any better, as soon as it loaded I was bombarded with a wealth of information and unnecessary distractions that I quickly had to wrap my head around.
#Tekken 6 game modes update#
My first impression of the PS3 version of Tekken 6 was far from pleasant, after forcing me to update to Sony’s “optional” 3.01 firmware I then had to sit and wait for the game to patch itself which altogether took roughly 20 minutes.
Now almost 5 years later, with the power of the PS3 and Xbox 360 at their disposal can Namco manage to keep the franchise relevant, especially with great fighters like Street Fighter IV already on shelves? It wasn’t until Tekken 5 that the series managed to climb back up ( Heihachi style) and reclaim dominance. Tekken: Tag Tournament was almost a port of Tekken 3 but with upgraded visuals (due to it appearing on the PS2 rather than the PSone) and a new Tag-Team element, Tekken 4 took things further down-hill and was a slow-paced, clunky embarrassment which under-performed in every aspect. Ever since its phenomenal third installment Tekken has been regarded as one of the top franchises in the fighting game genre, however the series has been on rocky ground ever since.
