Being a series that has always been a sure-fire
hit with PlayStation fans it comes as no surprise that few titles on
the PSP are anticipated as much as Namco’s portable fighter;
Tekken: Dark Resurrection. Featuring new characters; such as the
angry looking, angry
 sounding Dragonov, as well as a wealth of
returning characters from the series, Tekken: Dark Resurrection
would seem at first glance to be the portable title Beat-‘Em-Up fans
have searched for since they invested their cash in SONY’s handheld.
Thankfully it seems that the prayers of the
Tekken faithful have been answered, as this year’s E3 Preview
Code plays just like its predecessors. Controls are set-out just as
before and masters of Tekken’s timing-based combat should
feel right at home. Although likely that the demo was built for the
show, the bane of PSP owners - ridiculous Loading Times - were
mercifully not present.
Tekken: Dark Resurrection
is not just a remix of the current titles either. Online play and
character customisation are also included. Through fighting each
player can earn money with which to buy costumes and accessories for
their favourite combatants. Two-Player Wireless play is also
available for those wishing to test their mettle against local
adversaries.
Graphically, Tekken: Dark Resurrection
shapes-up very well against it’s PlayStation2 counterparts. It also
features limited destructible environments, although the demo showed
that they were nowhere near as explosive as those found in
Dead or Alive.
Tekken: Dark Resurrection
is looking like it could be very good, not just for gamers, but for
a system desperately in need of some must-have titles. |
