Tekken: Dark Resurrection Critic Reviews
TEKKEN HAS FINALLY ARRIVED for the PSP and we couldn't be more thrilled. Tekken is a fighting game with a long history. On the PS2, the game is enjoying a popular run with Tekken 5 being the most recent release. So, it was only a matter of time before...read the complete Tekken: Dark Resurrection review at Gameplanet
PSP owners, this is a certain hit, an instant classic that's likely the highest-quality game yet released for Sony's handheld system. It's a must-buy for fighting game fans....read the complete Tekken: Dark Resurrection review at Detroit Free Press
The summer handheld battle wasn't so much as a battle as it was a slap fight. Apart from a few decent titles, neither the DS nor the PSP really wowed us over the warm months, leaving us with books (ugh) to occupy long car rides and beach trips. Breaking...read the complete Tekken: Dark Resurrection review at UnderGroundOnline

The Playstation Portable is truly an amazing machine. When it launched, fighting fans were treated to the excellent Darkstalkers Chronicle.

Dark Resurrection is so great, that many will argue that it's the best Tekken game ever – and I’d agree. It plays tighter than "Tekken 5" (because it's based on the updated Dark Resurrection arcade update), and it has tons of features not found in...read the complete Tekken: Dark Resurrection review at PSX Extreme
In a word? Badass....read the complete Tekken: Dark Resurrection review at IGN
To the casual gamer, these names may seem typical, well suited for a standard fighting game. However, when followed by the word Tekken, these names garner a new meaning.

This title can stand up to its brothers on the home consoles.

positioning of the d-pad makes it less than ideal for inputting combos, especially when the time comes to nail a diagonal or perfect quarter-circle sweep. That aside, the performance and response are excellent. We're willing to suffer through the dodgy d...read the complete Tekken: Dark Resurrection review at Yahoo! Games
Oh Tekken, how you've grown. Your gawky adolescent early-PlayStation years belied your later conquests: Tekken 3 was, after all, the pinnacle of 32-bit fighting.

If you're a fighting fan, and/or a PSP owner, then there's little doubt that you'll be salivating at the thought of Namco's Tekken series hitting Sony's handheld.

A fighting juggernaut in the days of the PSX, the lauded Tekken series has been somewhat overshadowed in recent years by other fighters (Soul Calibur, Virtua Fighter, Dead Or Alive).

If there’s one thing that’s clear from Tekken: Dark Resurrection, it’s that Namco have obviously sold their souls for the ability to get more out of hardware than anyone else.
