Tekken 6 Impressions Aplenty

First and foremost, ignore all those mediocre reviews... this game ROCKS. It's the best Tekken ever, and it looks gorgeous and plays even better. Here are my thoughts so far... [b]Graphics and Animation[/b] are amazing, Sub-HD issues be damned. The game looks gorgeous in 720p. If your eyes are too sophisticated, then them's the breaks. It looks just as detailed as the arcade version to me. [b]Scenario Campaign Mode[/b] is cool, I think... it's an expanded Story Mode which focuses mainly on the two newcomers from Bloodline Rebellion. There are quite a few 'firsts' in the story of Lars Alexandersson and Alisa Bosconovitch; Lars seems to be the first 'heroic' Mishima, free of any taint of evil (like Jin). Plus his relationship with Alisa is clearly romantic, another first. Let's hope this couple continues their adventures in the next Tekken, although Scenario Campaign might not return as it has been the spanking-boy of critics. [b]Ranking[/b] is limited to 1st Dan offline; you want to get higher? Play online and get ranked. I think that sucks. [b]TONS of Items and Customizations[/b]. Man, it will take a long time to earn the millions to buy 'em all. Would I even need to? Probably not, but completists will rejoice. [b]Endings[/b] are hit-and-miss. Most are very, very short. As usual, there are funny ones, serious ones, some WTF ones. A couple so far I've seen end with the apparent deaths of some of the characters... good thing they're surely non-canon. Playing a lot. Will play more during the weekend. So far, enjoying every minute. GET IT!!!
