Review: Tekken 5 DR (PS3)

Tekken 5 DR is is classic Tekken rendered in stunning HD and all for just £6.99 - amazing!

Pros: It's Tekken; Price; Huge array for characters
Cons: Some dodgy background scrolling; only a couple of game modes

The Tekken series has had it's ups and downs, but with Tekken 5, the focus is very much on sticking with what works well. For me personally Virtual Fighter is still the best game in the genre, but Tekken and Soul Calibur are a close second. Tekken 5 DR fails to disappoint with all the classic characters, moves and extreme locations that you would expect. The gameplay remains as reliable and well tuned as ever, whilst the HD presentation is fantastic.

At only £6.99 (no Points in P$ land) Tekken 5 is cracking value for money and does put many XBLA games to shame for the same price. A 500MB download, it is not small, but well worth the effort.
