Tekken 5 Critic Reviews
One interesting aspect of Tekken 5 is the inclusion of a third-person adventure game called Tekken: Devil Within, which puts you in the shoes of Jin Kazama, infiltrating the Mishima compound. The story is not necessarily riveting, but the gameplay is...read the complete Tekken 5 review at Game Vortex

I was a huge Tekken fan in my PS1 days, but in recent years I've begun leaning towards Sega's Virtua Fighter. With Tekken 5 however, the tide has turned once again! Unlike the unexciting Tekken 4, there are no discernible flaws here. The game delivers...read the complete Tekken 5 review at The Video Game Critic
sun bouncing off buildings; the damage endured by the environments; the floating of feathers that seem to appear out of nowhere. It's like watching a beautiful anime movie come to life. The characters are more detailed than Tekken Tag and Tekken 4, but th...read the complete Tekken 5 review at GameZone
The stages are downright breath-taking....read the complete Tekken 5 review at Worth Playing

Graphically, Tekken 5 is one of the smoothest games I have ever played. Almost every movement looks believable and the stages, the lighting, the character models, it all looks amazing....read the complete Tekken 5 review at Armchair Empire
Even though the Playstation 2 may be drawing on its last breath, Namco have managed to squeeze every last ounce of gaming power out of the hardware. Tekken 5 is oozing playability and gameplay and is certainly a fitting continuation of the saga....read the complete Tekken 5 review at IC-Games
5 an almost perfect score. It’s the most fully featured fighting game on the PS2, and even comes packed with Tekken 1-3 for those interested in nostalgia. This is a must-own for PlayStation 2 fighting fans and worth the rental if you’re interested in chec...read the complete Tekken 5 review at WHAM! Gaming
It’s not, however, a lot of new game. Tekken 5 is a hefty package, but doesn’t offer much in terms of original gameplay or modes. It’s a celebration of all things Tekken rather than a brave new step for the series....read the complete Tekken 5 review at Game Revolution
It’s clear that Tekken 5 is a great game, but the lack of online play is a significant disappointment. There is quite a bit of replay value in the offline package, but the ability to take the aggression online would have made for an astronomical value...read the complete Tekken 5 review at eToychest
Tekken 4. It took the popular "King of Iron Fist" series to an interesting place by successfully borrowing ideas from competitors like Dead or Alive 2 and Virtua Fighter 4 while adding its own unique touch. It presented a legitimate revamping of a...read the complete Tekken 5 review at IGN
Tekken 5 is the penultimate entry in the series, and no fighting fan will want to miss it. Fast-moving, gorgeously-rendered action combines with a wealth of amazing extras that easily could have been saved for an overpriced collector's edition to form a...read the complete Tekken 5 review at Game Rankings

reason to ignore the soundtrack are the hard-hitting sound effects that occur when you are beating your opponent into a pulp. Power moves, followed by a grunt or some other onomatopoeia sound like they hurt, and that is exactly what you want to hear. When...read the complete Tekken 5 review at Gamer's Hell
Restores any luster to the series that may have been lost with the mediocre reception of "Tekken 4." Its full complement of fighters, sweet visuals, various modes of play, and hidden goodies will keep players coming back for months....read the complete Tekken 5 review at PSX Extreme
can perform astonishing moves, but practice is rewarded. Dexterity and timing, and blocks, dodges and reversals further separate champs from chumps. Players will spend most time in Story mode, which intersperses battles with dazzling and occasionally amus...read the complete Tekken 5 review at Sydney Morning Herald
and motorcycle helmets. Tantalizing tidbit:Tekken 5 also includes an Arcade History Mode, which basically means that Tekkens 1, 2 and 3, in their entirety, are all somehow squeezed onto this tiny disc. Buy, rent or run away screaming? Buy....read the complete Tekken 5 review at Stuff

From a purely technical standpoint, the frame-rate is rock solid, and the lighting effects are lavish as well, and while not as polished, overall, as the technical achievements of "Dead or Alive Ultimate," come a close second. Matching the visual...read the complete Tekken 5 review at 1UP
